You are completely wrong about jazzyfresh. He's just a troll. There are zero thoughts that deep. He consumes enough info to find a way to twist it to piss people off then posts that. He doesn't give a **** about anything anyone, or he, is saying any more than his own entertainment. I cannot believe how hard people here have been trying to refute when all they do is add validity though genuine argument with a disingenuous actor.
Now, c’mon, do you honestly think I don’t recognize that Jazzy trolls? His posts are heavily weighed to saying things that will trigger people in general, and trigger specific individuals. Trolling, in other words.
It was Colton, I think in the Impeach Trump thread, who observed that Trump was nothing more, nor less, than a troll. I really thought there was a lot of truth to that. It’s as if he was more America’s Troll-in-Chief than anything else one could use to describe the man.
One of Trump’s favorite tools in his troll kit is labeling people. “Lyin Ted”, “Low energy Jeb”. Repeat the label at every turn, until the term is automatically associated with the target. Trump understood how effective that could be. Jazzy uses the same tool in his troll kit. In my case, first I was labeled “fearmonger”, and, most recently, “Tabloid”. Designed to trigger me, without a doubt. Trolling me. Others here will recognize the labels he attaches to them.
I recognize the man is a troll. But, last night, I chose not to assume everyone here was that aware of some of the regrettable mistakes our air power, both manned and drone, have made in the war on terror, specifically in Afghanistan. Most Americans did not follow closely 20 years of war in Afghanistan. I wanted to counter Jazzy’s BS with greater context.
So, you will note, I specifically stated I was simply not going to allow Jazzy to ignore the context I believed was important, and that I decided I would provide. I was not going to stand for that bull****, because I do believe that specific context of that war is important. So I provided it.
My last comment last night, that you are quoting, was that effort on my part. It does not mean I do not understand Jazzy acts as a troll.
We should also note, that some, like Avery, are able to converse with Jazzy, and actually move Jazzy to offer his thoughts sans trolling. So, I do not regard Jazzy as someone who gives no thought to things. And I wish he would spend less time trolling, and simply accept that not everyone he disagrees with must be labeled, must be triggered. I do believe he has genuine anger, and anger is big among Americans right now, and nothing provides a venue for venting both anger and trolling better than social media.
I’m sure I have trolled people. But, I also know that I do not like myself when I do that. There will always be a part of me, my upbringing, that will be ashamed of myself for trolling badly, or letting anger drive my comments. So, I must forgive others for trolling, and that includes Jazzy. I can’t just go full bore mean and rotten. It’s not me.
