A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.
to keep from arguing the opposite of what you think you are

Your comment was removed for violating rule 3.
Yeah, because it’s an entirely subjective rule. People are not “being excellent” to me, because I’m insistent that there was no projection.
Lots of “do your own research” and downvoting, but not a single person can actually verbalise the thing I’m asking. And me pointing that out makes people angry.
i mean, i did that for you. but you ignore it, even now when insisting it never happened.
No, you tried doing that and I explained how that isn’t what psychological projection is.
I know how the word IS used, and since languages evolve, this will soon be as meaningless a word as “literally”, but no-one is projecting their own emotions onto others.
The Tesla owner saying thar may be being ironic, but he isn’t projecting anything.
well, you asked “why” to a different question and i was answering that. but if you understood my response, that would give you the context of why you got downvoted. it comes down to you arguing the opposite of what you think you are, because you didn’t read the article or understand the context of the comment. you ‘chose violence’ instead, for no reason.
Its less than two pages ofc I read it. Look at my comments my average comment length is longer than that article lol.
And now youre trying to do to me what I’ve been doing all the time; calling someone out on their BS. Except I’m not bullshitting, unlike 99% of Lemmy.
I very thoroughly explained my point just now and instead of addressing it, you “chose violence” instead, going for pure ad hominem. Which, on a sidenote, is also misused quite a bit. It doesn’t mean the same thing as “insulting” or “offensive.” Argumentum ad hominem has a very specific meaning, which most of the internet is just too uncurious to read up on, instead preferring to use language they picked up on the way even when they don’t really understand the meaning of it.
What you are doing is projection. You are projecting your feelings of hostility, negativity and insecurity onto me and my comments. Writing in a neutral tone is rather dangerous online actually, exactly because of that being so common.
So, as I’ve said earlier, argue the matter, not the man.
The Tesla guy saying “the only way they’ll learn is if they’re shamed” isn’t projection. It’s ironic, but it’s ironic because he is being shamed but he hasn’t learned.
It’s not “projection” and you simply can’t or won’t argue that. And the internet likes to pile on people. Like I’ve said, I’m used to being hated on and being in the minority. I’m used to fighting mobs with reason. You could say it’s my lifestyle, really.
Those sentences are obviously not being excellent to other commenters here. To avoid a ban (you have broken this rule twice, I’m being lenient) please follow rule 3.
Thanks
I do admit those were a bit under the belt. I was dehydrated and had just woken up, now I’ve rested and eaten well. Anyway, that’s no excuse.
I’m still gonna stand behind my point, but I’ll try to do it without further unnecessary insults. Apologies.
Thank you for understanding
My fault completely. Good modding, giving a fair warning like that. Thank you.
