Is the purpose of Lemmy to bully out people who disagree in any way?

Just wanna check before I go..
You're viewing a single thread.
You're a new account who shows up and immediately starts arguing with people and insisting your interpretation is the only correct one. And you keep fighting and fighting and fighting long after you have anything new to add. Frankly you come across as the bully or at least you hold no moral high ground.
And I say this as someone unafraid to call out the zeitgeist when I think they are wrong. I take my downvotes when it happens and I engage honestly and respectfully with people I disagree with. I don't think I've ever had a comment deleted.
So it's not that you're being censored for your views, but because you're an asshole about them in places that don't tolerate that. And frankly I would rather an asshole on "my" team be censored than someone I can disagree respectfully with.
Food for thought. Come back when you're ready, if you want.
This whole thing reeks of “I came here, acted perfectly reasonably and logically, and everyone else, astoundingly, was illogical and mean to me. I’m so smugly innocent. I’m the victim. This makes no sense!”
Not one bit of self-reflection.
Is there an archetype or myth about this behavior? There must be. Some type of ironic “innocent” contrarian? The little brother who provokes then runs to mommy to tattle?
It's trying to gain sympathy by playing a victim. I'm sure there's a term for it.
In the US I think the term you're looking for is "republican".
