What would be better phrasing? Acknowledged? It was previously classified and denied, and they have now admitted to the existence of the programs and phenomenon.
The information is valid regardless if people want to believe it. My post is thoroughly cited.
That's cool man if you want to keep sounding like a dime store Don Quixote. The adversarial subtext of your phrasing will make the majority of people ignore you and will taint the perception of whatever you cite.
Nah, I don't have a problem with my wording. You're just jumping to all sorts of conclusions. I'm not responsible for other people's ignorance and unwillingness to challenge their beliefs.
My argument is logically sound and I don't feel it comes off like the mad scrolls of some Q-anon nut job whatsoever. I think your hang-up and useless criticism here is just a reflection of your emotional maturity level and propensity for emotional reasoning. I presented factual information with logical reasoning. You're emotionally reasoning here.
If someone is unwilling to even open a lemmy post link and instead writes it off without any consideration, that's just a reflection of their own ignorance and unwillingness to challenge their beliefs.
I don't feel the need to tiptoe around the facts, and there's always going to be people unwilling to consider the information. I've already done a hell of a lot, compiling all of that information and that write-up. But I'll be sure to remember that you don't like the way the information makes you feel next time.
Nah I was trying to help ya but it sounds like you might be closer to the mind set that I was trying to help you not sound like.
Yeah, what help you were by repeatedly condensing me and calling me a q-anon crazy! You should become a motivational speaker!
I didn't call you that but your responses do lend some credibility to the notion. If you don't want to be taken seriously fine, I don't really care
