    Indicating that people who argue that humans aren’t intrinsically shitty and appeal to our better nature are performative, as you’re inferring due to social conditioning, by just being super dismissive is still underwhelming.

      Did he really indicate all that? Was it dismissive?

      What if it was an honest remark? Doesnt it feel good to know this stuff and being able to write it out?

      You’re probably right and he was trying to be an asshole, but judging by the votes I dont seem to be the only one that didnt take his reply as snark.

      Edit: I went through their profile now and am convinced they were completely serious without any snark.

        Maybe they were being genuine and not sarcastic. I came out swinging because I was riled up by the first poster to be honest. If they’re genuine, then I feel like a bit of a dick. Oops.

          I think I would’ve reacted the same way if I wouldn’t have been an outsider.

          Rarely do I have positive interactions on here, so my initial reaction is defensive as well with everything that makes it into my inbox.
