Says the guy who magically arrives to defend the MAGA bots any time someone so much as looks at them.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You lied about blocking me, and the only "evidence" you ever have about someone being a "maga bot" is that they don't agree with you.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee -2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Did I?

Or did you not read what I said about blocking you? Maybe go back and reread my words. Then come back here and apologize for accusing me of what seems to be your singular purpose here.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You will never be owed an apology by anyone.

Yeah, you said that you would block me temporarily and would unblock me at any time. It was horseshit at the time and we both knew it. You never blocked me. Just like when you lied about ignoring me.

You don't like people pointing out that your baseless accusations have no evidence and no merit. You're just lying about people who disagree with you.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Oh I assure you that I blocked you. But it doesn’t matter because from the standpoint of a known troll, (easily verified by your comment history) you can’t be wrong under any circumstance.

I’ll block you whenever I wish so as to put you in a little corner until I feel I have the patience and/or willingness to deal with someone rewriting my words and shouting them back at me. This is seemingly all you can do. So knowing you can’t argue in good faith- I owe you nothing more or less. I’ve tried reasoning with you. You’re showing that you’re seemingly incapable of it.

You’re a troll. (again, verified by your comment history here) And because of this, I will never engage with you on your terms. So just know that when I get bored of you- I’ll block you again.

And again….

And again…

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I stand by my comment history. You do nothing but scream "maga bot" at anyone to your left and only your left. You just want to do so without anyone pointing it out.

Now "block" me again.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

K. And you scream gEnoCiDe sUpPorTeR at anyone that even come close to suggesting that Biden isn’t that bad.

And I’ll block you when I think I need to and no sooner.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

K.

Glad you've admitted that you lie and call everyone to your left a maga bot.

And you scream gEnoCiDe sUpPorTeR at anyone that even come close to suggesting that Biden isn’t that bad.

Genocide supporters pretend genocide isn't happening. Genocide supporters act like genocide isn't a big deal. Genocide supporters consider genocide acceptable. Genocide supporters lose their fucking shit when anyone dares to suggest that Biden should stop sending weapons for Netanyahu to murder Palestinians with. If I see these behaviors, I say what I see.

And I’ll block you when I think I need to and no sooner.

Sure you will. You've already lied about blocking me once. You've lied about ignoring me as well. You lie about everyone to your left and call them maga bots. You just lie.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

And MAGA bots whine when they’re accused of something while simultaneously accusing others of things.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, everyone is a maga bot. Everyone but you and you alone.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Oh no my friend. Everyone is a gEnOciDe dEniEr but you and you alone.

I’ve been playing your own game against you kiddo. And your reactions are priceless. You can’t take what you give.

Considering it… trolling a troll.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not trolling, but you just admitted you are.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not and you're lying about me, like you lie about anyone who doesn't love genocide like you want them to. When are you gonna pretend to block me?

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Do you see the hypocrisy here bud? You’re upset that I’m accusing you of lying, then accusing me of “loving genocide” which is a lie.

Then antagonizing me to block you. And claiming you’re NOT a troll?

You’ll forgive me if I don’t believe you, right?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You’re upset that I’m accusing you of lying, then accusing me of “loving genocide” which is a lie.

Read it again. I said you want the people you lie about to love genocide. Though since you've repeatedly lied about ignoring me, lied about blocking me, and lied about people to your left being maga bots, I have reason to doubt when you say you don't love genocide.

Then antagonizing me to block you.

I was wondering because generally when you get tired of calling me a trumpist because I don't support genocide, you make a big show of ignoring/blocking me only to demonstrate that it's yet another lie the following day. I'm wondering when you clock out, basically.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I get what you’re trying to do here man, and I’m not falling for it. You’re not going to get me on a defensive to waste my time.

The entire comment chain is there to see that I’m right regarding my accusations of you. And your sad attempts to victimize yourself fall VERY flat When held up against reality, soooloo, I really don’t needled to keep going in circles over this with you. Your comment history and mod logs show you’re a liar and a troll. Mine don’t.

Though I do enjoy watching you try hard. It’s so embarrassing for you.

I love it!

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your accusations that I'm a maga bot? You have no evidence of anyone being a maga bot.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Love your commitment to the bit. Hilarious!

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You still have no evidence. If you did, you would have presented it instead of being a self-admitted troll.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Cool story! Loving the dedication. Keep at it!

[–] Melkath@kbin.earth 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

JimSamtanko.

Reminds me of Clem Fandango.

For the time we have left, when I see your name, I will replay the entire Clem Fandango clip in my head. Because JimSamtanko is just about as useful as Clem Fandango.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You have to know that I have no fucking clue what you’re taking about. But then again, you’re probably used to that as you never seem to either.

[–] Melkath@kbin.earth 0 points 2 months ago

You have to know that I have no fucking clue

Yes I do. Clem Fandango.
