The fact that you think it requires any 'defense' is kind of funny.

@stanleytweedle Fair point. Why would anyone want to back up claims they make? Just saying things and refusing to demonstrate how or why you're right is normal. Proof that you're right, even.

I don't need to demonstrate it, you already did.

@stanleytweedle That's true, I guess "go google a word" counts as demonstration 😂

The demonstration of self-righteousness was preaching to strangers about how they should feel about a dead person. If you genuinely don't understand how that is self-righteous, well... that makes this even more fun somehow.

@stanleytweedle Is it self-righteous to also preach to strangers that killing people is wrong?

[–] stanleytweedle@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lol- how is that related to this conversation?

@stanleytweedle It's a cognitive dissonance test. They're quite fun to do.

You're saying that telling people what to do in one case is self-righteous, and I'm wondering you think that applies in all cases.
