You're minimizing, plain and simple, by accentuating the positive aspects and softening the negative. Generally folk minimizing are in support of the thing they claim to be in opposition of.
If that's not your intent, then you really need to work on your communication skills.
As for being triggered, you're wrong. I believe you're projecting. Might the cause be all those down votes your posts are receiving? Sure, they don't mean much... Other than each vote meaning one person disagrees with you. Some folk can't handle that well.
That's a really dumb statement. Being realistic is not minimizing. Minimizing is not supporting.
If I create a post saying "Climate change will kills us all by 2025" and you'll will disagree you're minimizing and supporting oil industry? Not agreeing with obviously wrong statements is now bootlicking?
Basically for you, anything that's not agreeing with the groupthink is supporting the other side, no matter the arguments. This sort of stupid, reactionary thinking only creates bubbles and turns away potential supporters. It's like when protesters in US were calling for 'abolishing police' and anyone trying to explain it's unrealistic and de-founding should be the goal was shut down as police supported. Where did it get the protesters? No where. So good luck with your fight. You will also get nowhere.
Says you. You're also inflating my example and simplifying it, making a strawman out of it. I say differently, and so do all those folk downvoting you.
I'm done with this discourse. You're determined to stick to your position in the mud, and not worth the effort. Good luck with that.
Sure, "when proven wrong, scream strawman!". During this entire discourse you didn't come up with a single argument to support your position and now you complain that I'm not changing my mind. Mind boggling.
Blah blah blah.
Another great point.
