begging you to read a book, any book.

That's a bit harsh, I go through quite a few of them. Is it perhaps you want me to read a specific book?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I just want you to stop being a tankie - I heard reading can help so keep it up bud.

May you always have something interesting to read pal.

May you not cower in fear the next time an unhoused person is in the same car as you during your 10 minute train ride, tankie. rat-salute

They literally engaged in good faith asking what to read just for you to reply like a condescending twat.

You can't even follow through on your original point, and you look like an insufferable idiot.

If I was trying to push specific recommendations onto OP, I wouldn't have said 'begging you to read a book, any book' in my original comment tankie.

You're right: you were being a condescending asshole. And then OP replied in good faith, and you proceeded to look like a dumb condescending asshole with nothing to say. Great job.

RIP hexbear.

I am begging you too to read a book, any book. In good faith I am recommending to you Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life by Larry Winget. Some people, not me, have called him the 'Pitbull of Personal Development' so you may get something out of the 272 pages. ISBN 9781118024515

Were they engaging in good faith when they posted this massive thread moaning about getting banned for "slight criticism of tankies communities" when it was actually for hating homeless people?

You don't give someone infinite chances to engage in good faith while they keep moving the football like Lucy from Peanuts, fuck OP.
