Because his entire moral framework, which admittedly is repugnant and uninformed, is utterly alien to yours. He isn't on your team.

The kind of discourse we're witnessing on this page is neo-Stalinist, which is good, actually.

my position is communist-adjacent; Stalinist? no

Your position is not "communist-adjacent" and this is a MLG joke that was not meant for you.

well, it is, but OK Mickey

It absolutely is not. Words have distinct meanings and being vaguely on the left in the interminable online culture wars--even declaring one's self "not a liberal," though the evidence for that is suspect--does not make one "adjacent" to a discrete and historically specific political position.

"I've only ever seen you in a few discussions and they were all online! there's no way you've thought about your politics beyond what my own eyes have seen!"

Your politics beyond this thread are entirely irrelevant.

I made a statement about where I stood politically as a whole, so no, they aren't; I get called an evil commie a lot, I thought that was what you were doing -- I was wrong; I'm not sure what else you want for the observations and records you're drawing up about me

Wrong:

my position on the political spectrum in general, is the full version of that

No one was talking about your general positions. Kind of narcissistic to bring that up.

I thought you were calling me an evil Stalinist (maybe because I said I don't think violence is always wrong), as many liberals and conservatives have in the past, as mockery; I thought you were being "narcissistic", so no, saying that in general I might be called a communist but nothing I've said here could be called "Stalinist" was something I'm OK that I did

it isn't relevant to my reasoning here!!! that's what I'm saying!!! I thought I was being called a Stalinist even though nothing I've ever said on RM would actually back that up!!

Misgendering, intentional or otherwise, is word violence. Prepare to get slapped, Nazi!
