What was the point of your original comment? Just to take a dig at what other people were discussing and then dip when I tried to have a productive discussion with you?

I believe they are what is known as a "low effort troll"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I doubt they are a troll, they had a common misconception and then got upset when it was pointed out. There was nothing deliberately provacative.

Just odd all around.

I just mean that I don't think they were a good faith interlocutor. Probably if I were to put a specific explanation on it, I'd say that they are probably tired of having the same argument over and over again and being corrected repetitively, to the point where they're not genuinely engaging anymore, I've seen that a lot. Especially with how quickly they backed out but also still left a comment. I dunno if that level of bad faith would be considered trolling in the strictest sense, but I would probably still classify it as such.

Sometimes you make a comment about something that seems interesting and then realise you've wandered into a enclypoedia convention and have bitten off more than you have the head space to deal with. I probably should have said that instead of what I did say. My apologies

I did try to be thorough, but I guess I overexplained and ended up alienating you, my bad. I do hope you got something from it, I try to clear up misconceptions about Marxism when I see them because he is very misunderstood, especially on instances like Lemmy.world.

Have a good day!

Don't apologise. Totally my fault - I was being a dick. I've been on the other side of this kind of interaction with someone doubling down after being called out on being a jerk. I should do better. Thanks for your response
