We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

The criticism was your integrity, not your alleged race.

Great google translate bro.

If you have to pull out a "trust me bro" instead of present facts of the matter that can be verified via search engines, you've already failed at the purpose of the discussion. I noted specialty along with direct information that can be directly corroborated with online reputable sources.

You backed your words up with 'trust me bro'.

Tell me who, in that conversation, would you more likely listen to, the person who provided a detailed overview and perspective along with their noted background or the person who just says 'i know everything about the middle east because I'm x race born in y town'?

You've only said I'm wrong without any substance to back that or presentations of understanding or experience, especially since you flopped entirely on the history aspect (especially if you are arabic, then you'd know the background of the USA is light in comparison). Either you're too emotionally involved in the information you've been shown IRL or, as I suspect, you're pushing an agenda rather than an opinion.

I think your statement didn't have any real criticism at all. You ran out of things to say so you just put forth a dumb statement that you can't even verify or proof or really point to.

PS: I'm a girl. I don't live in a basement, I barely check lemmy these days, and while some of my comments may have been short and snappy, they are not trolly.

On top of that, your weird claim that I'm not Arab is serving what purpose exactly? 🤔 Trying to make me look like I'm lying? Even though I am Arab? Like why did you even add that part? I doubt it's just for "clarity" or to make a "point".

Great google translate bro.

The phrase is in Jordanian dialect, you can't use google translate to get Arabic dialects /: only modern standard arabic

Surely a "smartass" person like yourself should know that?

Anyway here it is again:

اسرائيل دولة إجرامية ومن كل قلبي بحكي يا ريت كل اسرائيل كدولة وقضاء وحشي تخش فطيزي

EDIT: just saw your long ass edit... sorry I don't have time for this. You wanted a troll, I'll give you one rofl

Right. And your continued pushing to avoid the topic of the matter and instead focus on your race is what I was explicitly noting.

No one cares what race you are so why did you bring it up? If you had anything of effect to present here, you would've presented an actual statement that included any type of serious and realistic opinion instead of just going "I know best, I'm arabic".

Instead you are trying to bait out some type of 'gotcha' to change the conversation further into your incompetent identity politcking. Instead of participating in a discussion about options, you choose to make the conversation about you.

I claimed you weren't arab because your opinions are either nonsensical or completely detached from reality. Every Arab I've met has had a distinct respect for the empirical method and facts, neither of which you've shown any evidence of respecting, thus, more likely, you're pretending to be arabic in order to 'win' the discussion using your alleged personal experience for pity points from the public.

Show me the part where I say that people should trust me because I'm Arab, or stfu. Have a nice day!

I see you chose to stfu then.

[–] trackcharlie@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm simply taking the conversation as seriously as you are.

[–] snek@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Exactly, you have nothing to say.
