    Genuine question, if you don’t have a stance on Trotsky, and you don’t know fuck all about him, why are you wading into this comment chain in the first place?

      You see, the comment sections of divisive posts are a place that you can learn about opinions different than your own or to learn new things. If you want, I can go back to the neoliberal echo chambers where people are actually engaged in discussing things in good faith.

        If you want to know something you merely have to ask. Maybe explain that you don’t know much about a subject matter.

        My initial comment was to someone who has an opinion on Trotsky and thus probably knows who he was, so I didn’t feel like typing up a whole-ass essay on the guy. Y’know?

          This post is the natural reaction to a failed dunk. Perhaps if you want to counter a controversial point without explaining it, don’t bother posting otherwise it’s the intellectual equivalent of “no, u”.
