this mf quoted their own opinion article they wrote as though it was a source. You wrote a "Made for Tumblr" revisionist deconstruction of a thousands of years old myth, published it on Medium, and then referenced as proof/source here.... Holyhell, that's levels of up one's own ass never seen before.

I honestly feel a little privileged to have witnessed it.

That's to keep you from having to scroll past several pages of comment explaining the whole issue all over again in the thread. It's more convenient for you to just click a link if you doubt the claim, and then you can see the argument I would have otherwise typed in the thread. It's easier for Me as well. When arguing with tankies on the fediverse, I often wish they would take the same approach, instead of either writing a 4 page comment, or citing the entire works of Marx. It allows the reader to choose which arguments to further engage with, and saves time for everyone. Here on MULTIVERSE, we require arguments not to be optimised to exhaust the reader, as we think that kind of behaviour constitutes a form of attentional violence.
