Huh, neat. Sincerely, what part of that seems undeserved? Here, I'll explain my perspective:
The parent comment that really caught my attention includes such wisdom as:
Which really just speaks for itself there. It's "both sides" but with easily disproved corporate claims, being advocated for as totally reasonable and "I choose to believe". It's like tech bro fundamentalism, but... lame (edit: lamer). Also, while calling me "not a tesla investor advocate" barely warrants being called an ad hominem attack, like... come on. I'm not above rising to personal attacks, especially when I can quite clearly lay out why they're an ignorant schlub. (also also, it's hilariously wrong. Tesla was a very good investment and anyone could see that, including me, who owned Tesla stock. It's er... slightly less so as time has progressed, but tenish years ago? yeah, jumped on that band wagon, worked out for me... Also, that's just... the dumbest insult. Like come on.)
I think you're so caught up in your own self-righteous drive for civil internet discourse you've forgotten that
1: Other people online are perfectly aware of the tone they communicate through their comments, and chose that tone deliberately.
2: Sometimes, being rude and/or condescending is totally reasonable.
Like for example here, where someone is seemingly advocating for people to invest in a company (or justifying their own stupid, stupid choice) that is at very best grossly misrepresenting the product, and at worst just doing straight up investor fraud. Also, a company where their product claims are fundamentally impossible, and I can back that up with math. I might have been raised in some wildly different culture than you, with wildly different values, but I will say that I suspect your culture and mine both put a high social value on calling out rampant BS when it runs the risk of affecting other people in your community. This? This worthy of being scorned.
Seriously, maybe consider getting a better grip on that high horse before it runs off and does something interesting with it's life.
