    I asked yes or no question and I don’t see a yes or no.

    This simole fact should not require so much repetition and explanation, but we both know why that is happening. Pure cognitive dissonance.

      You are replying to a comment that has an answer to your question: an emphatic no.

      This continued dishonesty and gaslighting can now come to an end.

        First, the comment literally does not have the word “no” in it.

        Second, as a reminder the question was, “Are you against genocide and voting for genocidal candidates?” You are telling me the answer, which was like pulling teeth over 7+ comment exchanges, is “no”. Got it. Will log that in the ol’ memory bank. You are either not against genocide or believe you should vote for genocidal candidates, or both.

        That is indeed consistent with the dissembling zi mentioned before and why there is such cognitive dissonance: because people that hold that opinion are often embarrassed of it, they know it (correctly) makes them look like either monsters or those complicit with them, having no respectable principles.

        This continued dishonesty and gaslighting can now come to an end.

        I have done neither, thanks.

          Are you joking? Well, for fuck’s sake: no. There it is. I’ve answered so many variations of “I do not support genocide or genocidal candidates” that I’m genuinely baffled you haven’t figured it out yet. What is wrong with you??

          Second, as a reminder the question was, “Are you against genocide and voting for genocidal candidates?”

          No, it was “do you support” them.

          You are telling me the answer, which was like pulling teeth over 7+ comment exchanges, is “no”.

          No, I told you that long, long ago.

          Got it. Will log that in the ol’ memory bank.

          Why are you being sarcastic?

          You are either not against genocide or believe you should vote for genocidal candidates, or both.

          Nope. Neither. (:

          That is indeed consistent with the dissembling zi mentioned before and why there is such cognitive dissonance

          There has been no dissembling or cognitive dissonance: that is merely your unfounded accusation, apropos of absolutely fuckin’ nothing. You’re just arguing this for the sake of it at this point, i.e. trolling. I also don’t quite understand why you said “zi”.

          because people that hold that opinion are often embarrassed of it, they know it (correctly) makes them look like either monsters or those complicit with them, having no respectable principles.

          Yes, I agree with that assessment of such a person that you described.

          However, I never actually said what you’re claiming I did.

          I have done neither, thanks.

          In the very comment I’m replying to, you literally just took my answer as the inverse of what it was (by pretending you asked the reverse of what you did), and did so in complete seriousness, expecting me to actually fall for it.

          Gaslighting, clear as day.
