    There’s nothing more Reddit like than “I think what you mean / you should be saying” and a “this is such a Reddit moment” to boot lol

    (AFAIK the causal link between racism and intelligence is not clear, so we agree on your main point, though there are studies that correlate racist discourse and verbal ability)

      We can agree to disagree. I was respectful. I didn’t say the person or their viewpoint was wrong - I just pointed out what I think is inaccurate in their comment. And, most importantly, I fully explained myself so that others could examine my argument and disagree with it. In retrospect, I should have used “cloaked” instead of “disguised” for connotative language’s sake. I’m trying to help Lemmy remain a place for respectful and accurate discourse, not bots, disinformation, and dunking on people (edit: censorship too)

        “Cloaking” a modicum of non-aggression as respect while still jumping the conclusion that someone is based solely on anecdotal evidence is not as helpful as you might think, but at least I appreciate the spirit

          Why are you being so litigious about this? I’m blocking you because you’re detracting from my Lemmy experience. I have a honours degree in psychology, I work in hospital research, I have 20 publications. I’ve tried to avoid saying “I can tell you two both don’t know much about [social] sciences” but refrained from that out of civility
