Your mistake is thinking that return2ozma is a regular person looking for a nuanced policy debate within the parameters of reality, and not just (at best) some guy who spends every waking hour posting bullshit on lemmy or (at worst) a sock puppet knowingly posting bad-faith arguments as a form of political propaganda.

It doesn’t seem like a mistake to me to treat people with the respect of generous interpretation.

Do you have specific knowledge of this person, or is this the story you tell yourself about others by default? If so, why?
