How this vile, disgusting, and immoral behavior has become normalized in the United States is something our descendants will study in school, to the shame of our generation.”
What difference does it make if you were addressing me singularly or plurally? You were still addressing me. You can’t claim that you were both addressing me and not addressing me at exactly the same time. Pick a lane and stick to it.
Yeah but the problem here is you made a huge assumption about who I am, who I represent and which political party I form a part of. You addressed me as such and when I pointed out your assumption was way off, now you’re trying to argue about pronouns and semantics of conversations.
I’ll keep bringing it back to this core point, you made a silly assumption and just can’t admit it. It’s as hilarious as it is sad.
You absolutely did make an assumption because you addressed me directly and started talking about “our” parties, there’s no two ways about it. I’ll keep quoting your exact words here:
You’re both out of control, our parties should be dismantled and dissolved.
There’s no world where you’re not addressing me directly and making assertions about “our” political party here. Everything else is irrelevant and you’re doing a terrible job at trying to save face.
Don’t make assumptions about my assumption. In a thread about US politics and a US President, WE USE PRONOUNS to avoid having to repeat all the desciptors we would need to be exactly correct.

If you argue over pronouns, NO topic can be discussed. That’s why civil people never, ever argue with pronouns. Be one of us! ONE OF US ONE OF US.
There’s no world were arguing with pronouns helps anybody, anywhere, at any time, as nothing else could be discussed.
Learn! YOU CAN DO IT
I could take apart each of your pronouns, but I don’t, because look what happens when you challenge pronouns that have nothing to do with you.
You are arguing with the use of POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS.
Please look that up.
Human conversation is impossible without their liberal use. My use was accurate.
No nonsense statement was made. Stop challenging possessive pronouns.
Do you understand?
Should you do this anywhere on Earth, you will be loathed, forever.
Also, you don’t know what “imperical data” means. Understanding is lost to you.
Lastly, “you” is a word that you appear to be unfamiliar with. I encourage you to look it up! YOU can be PLURAL. Not YOU specifically.
What happened to you (in this case singular, not plural)?
Our conversation is a perfect example of why you (in this case plural, not singular only) should never challenge possessive pronouns!
Stop it.
“Our grandma died today…” you “NOT MY GRANDMA”
p.s. oh my god I was wondering who you remind me of and it just hit me… are you JORDAN PETERSON ???
“What does ‘our’ mean?” What do you mean by ‘you’?" and so on. Jordan, get off of lemmy!

Sure I can. “You” can address you specifically AND the position you represent in the discussion simultaneously.
it’s never a “gotcha” to challenge such terms, there’s no “gotcha”. If you challenge pronouns, you will never get to an actual issue to discuss.
The user of the pronoun defines who they were addressing, never the “challenger”.

That’s the rub, I made NO ASSUMPTION about who you (singular) are or what you (plural) represent.
You’re arguing with pronouns, don’t do that.
I’ll keep bringing it back to that core point, which is all that matters. Who YOU (singular) are to me is irrelevant.
Hilarious indeed.
Your correction has been corrected, now go forth and sin no more!
Are you familiar with Jordan Petersen?
I hope and pray that English is not your mother tongue. German, perhaps (this is an educated guess, not an assumption)?

Glad you’ve finally admitted it was an assumption 👍
We can finally put this whole ordeal to bed.
There you go, making assumptions that I even had an assumption.
Pronouns are hard, you’ll get it someday! I believe in you (singular).
Did you know that pronouns refer to the last referenced subject unless dictated otherwise, changing the subject? IT’S TRUE.
So, figure it out.
There’s a thread about sports teams, The Jerks vs The Ignorants.
Someone in the thread says “your team sucks”
Are they referring to you (singular)? Or the subject of the thread (those two teams)?
You… “Not MY team, I hate sports!”
