    I’m not calming down. This dumb shit happens just far too often lately. I have no idea, why people insinuate things others never said and burn that strawman down, but I’m getting too tired and more and more pissed off by it, to the point where I wonder if it’s even worth it or I should rather stop discussing.

    Shit’s annoying AF.

      You should stop discussing because what you call a straw man is a perfectly reasonable interpretation of your comment. If you don’t want it to be open to interpretation, you should be more clear, rather than get mad at people taking one of the reasonable interpretations. An additional sentence at the end of that comment like “That said, the left should be worried.” would likely have been enough.

        About as reasonable an interpretation as asking you if you mean humans shouldn’t ever feel emotions by saying “Calm down”.
