Well, thats a good question. I‘ll take it literally first:

The left as a whole suffers from large quantities of unreflected people who will repeat stuff without thinking about it, unable to discuss like grown ups. Thats has nothing to do with the US imo.

Now I‘m gonna try and read what you actually wanted to say/answered: I blocked these individuals because they were unable to discuss but had to unilaterally dump their „everything is lost“ narrative and my life isnt long enough to waste time with people who are that far out.

Does this mean you can call me unable to discuss differing opinions? Absolutely! Is it actually true? Not in my opinion.

You can do whatever you like with this. Have a good one.

That's quite a reasonable one, except

they were unable to discuss

because AFAICS nobody tried to discuss anything with them, so for me it wouldn't be an easy task to grade their discussion skills. On the other hand I suppose you have a point that their message doesn't invite a discussion either..

Have a good one.

Thanks, you too.
