In reply to the discussion: Jewish Groups Pull Support From Oregon Food Bank for Blasting 'Israel's Violence' in Gaza [View all]Beastly Boy
(13,283 posts)If I understand you correctly, your argument goes like this:
Person 1: You refuse to believe in what I think is reality
Person 2: I reject the idea that you determine what reality is. This offends me
Person 1: You might be delusional.
I do indeed find it offensive when someone dictates to me what reality is. However, I consider this to be a sign of sanity in the face of delusion, not vice versa
The argument in post you are replying to, however, goes like this:
Person 1: I want your money because I run a food bank. And it's none of my business, but just so you know: I think Israel is entirely at fault for what happens in Gaza.
Person 2: Your statement is false and politically motivated, and I am offended by it. You will get no money from me: it will go to a food bank that doesn't meddle in politics.
Person 1: You are vain and delusional, and you not giving me your money is hurting poor families.
Person 2: Reacting to your real unwarranted offense doesn't make me delusional. It makes you offensive. Poor families getting food from a different food bank doesn't hurt poor people. It hurts you, and you deserve it for not minding your business and getting your clueless ass involved in international affairs. Get lost, dumbfuck.
Your argument doesn't address anything in my argument, and is too general to address in more specific terms.
Care to elaborate?
