    That’s to keep you from having to scroll past several pages of comment explaining the whole issue all over again in the thread. It’s more convenient for you to just click a link if you doubt the claim, and then you can see the argument I would have otherwise typed in the thread. It’s easier for Me as well.

    When arguing with tankies on the fediverse, I often wish they would take the same approach, instead of either writing a 4 page comment, or citing the entire works of Marx. It allows the reader to choose which arguments to further engage with, and saves time for everyone. Here on MULTIVERSE, we require arguments not to be optimised to exhaust the reader, as we think that kind of behaviour constitutes a form of attentional violence.

      blahblahblah, you’re committing acts of attentional violence on me. Can you remove yourself from this instance?

      Causing straight up emotional and psychic damage to everyone around you through the sheer power of cringe… this is literally you… this is what everyone sees you as.
