I agree with the sentiment, but their writing style is like nails on a chalk board to read.

Oh my god I know. Everyone is like “beautifully said” lol

Because most kids on reddit can neither read, write, or think critically.

I didn’t read the whole thing because that was terrible writing.

u/frawgster 3d ago

Yeah. I stopped reading. I don’t have a good word to describe the writing style, so I’ll just go with “annoying”.

u/Malphael 3d ago

I dunno, I think that's intentional. It's dripping with contempt.

“Megs”

I understand the sentiment, but jeez that was rough.

u/frill_demon 3d ago

It's pretty clearly meant to be condescending, annoying and full of the sort of hammer-it-in repetition that is usual in maga/Republican messaging.

It's not a persuasive essay, it's a catty clap-back.

u/Jubjub0527 3d ago

Yeah thats.. Just bad. I couldn't even finish reading the comment after the first 2 or 3 sentences.

tldr: cutting spending was great, Megs, until they cut something YOU cared about.

there, that should spare you a very painful read with some very painful punctuation.

Cringe. “Next. “

“Empathy makes us human” says the person who has no empathy for her and is LITERALLY DEHUMANIZING HER FOR DISAGREEING WITH HIM. It’s wild to me how so many people can’t see how dehumanization leads to genocide and is clearly unethical, even for people you consider your ideological enemies.

Being human makes you human. Full stop.

I don’t disagree with what you’ve typed, but did you mean to post it under my comment?

u/thomasscat 2d ago

Yeah I felt like it added to the conversation, because I felt like you were clearly also disagreeing the comment that was posted by OP. It’s a bit early for me, though, and I might’ve misread your intention, my bad haha

u/HeckNo89 2d ago

I agree with the sentiment of the OP, I just think the writing style is 11/10 Reddit cringe. Particularly the use of “next” as their closer. Who says that?

You're thinking of Liz Cheney.
