why would i fucking care about the rest of what you have to say, liar? You’re not here arguing in good faith, why would I bother?

1. assets plural

a. the property of a deceased person subject by law to the payment of his or her debts and legacies

b. the entire property of a person, association, corporation, or estate applicable or subject to the payment of debts

2. ADVANTAGE, RESOURCE

a. an item of value owned

b. assets plural the items on a balance sheet showing the book value of property owned

Hey now, something strange is going on here - see, when I visit that page, there aren’t just 3 items. Now, you wouldn’t be selectively ignoring parts of your own source to paint a certain narrative, would you? Because the 4th item I see is

4 : something useful in an effort to foil or defeat an enemy: such as
a : a piece of military equipment

b : spy

I’m sure you simply… overlooked it in your excitement. Now you’re aware though, I’m sure you’ll be happy to correct your comments.

To be clear, being a troll or a paid actor doesn’t make you someone’s property.

Ok, I give up, I have no idea if you’re doing a bit. Like I felt kinda confident you were serious, but this leaves me floundering. Purposely obtuse because you’ve talked yourself into such a stupid corner, or just that incredibly obtuse that you unironically think asset means property? Absolutely no way to tell which one it is.

“I didn’t say there’s any brigading going on, I just said there’s some brigading going on - look, this incredibly popular post has more engagement than any of our other posts!”

The absolute brazen dishonesty you’re engaging in the whole way through this thread is disgusting, and why you get piled on to. The fact is that you’re pretending a racist term isn’t racist (in the same way as calling stealing “jewing” isn’t racist, I suppose (just to make sure you understand, it’s very racist)), and your only real argument is “all the hexbears are piling in and being mean :(”, not some justification for why taking a racist term for improving the look of a car without improving its performance isn’t racist when you apply the exact same term, without altering the concept in any way, to computers.

Been quashed? You’re claiming that users could only semi-organically stumble upon this post, when your continual engagement has kept it at a healthy position in the active feed for the past 2 days. If it weren’t for your insistence on being racist none of us would have seen the post at all.

Yes, there must be brigading going on, it’s not like there’s some sort of “front page” for federated instances that just anyone can browse, where active discussions like this would be promoted over less active content.
