Mocking old folks who are worried about paying their bills?

[alcibiades_mystery]

43. You're simply wrong

Both in your original accusations, and in your further claims here.

Your original accusations are pure nonsense. Nobody is "mocking seniors." Nobody is "mocking the poor." Nobody is "mocking the needy." Indeed, not a single one of the examples you and your cohort posted above, and that you now demand "response" for from some unlucky soul, demonstrates your point. No, in each case, the post supposedly mocking seniors, supposedly mocking the poor, supposedly mocking the needy or the hungry - in each case - the post is actually mocking a cohort of self-appointed advocates on DU. Whether it should be doing that is another matter.

Whether your claims here are some strategy, sub-conscious or not, I don't know and don't care. You'd like to represent posts mocking YOUR ONLINE GROUP or TEAM as posts mocking seniors, the poor, the needy, the hungry. Why your group is doing this is clear enough: you either actually want to paint yourselves as the noble oppressed fighting the heartless, drooling "mockers" - or, more embarrassing, you actually believe such shit. Either way, I'll leave you to your nonsense and your self-righteousness.

You tell us these posts mock the poor, or seniors, or the needy. No. They're mocking your online group, the self-appointed advocates. Very obviously in each case. They're not laughing at needy seniors. They're laughing at your group. Not because you're made up of or arguing on behalf of seniors, or the poor, or the needy, but because you're behaving in a ridiculous manner on this board. You conflate the two to appear more noble or because you foolishly believe your own rhetoric. It's a ridiculous claim either way.
