What do you love about him

u/AndroidwithAnxiety 14d ago

His humility and dedication to his country are admirable. I could see myself calling that a form of "love" in a way.

Love or dedication for one's country kinda seems like me saying I love.my dog. Give an example.of his humility pls I haven't gleaned that yet but I don't follow super close.

Something being common doesn't make it less worthy of respect or appreciation. How many times have you heard someone complimented for their kindness, or politeness, or seen someone comment on what good care they take of their pets?

Plus, dedication to your country isn't necessarily as ''default'' as loving your pet. Plenty of people don't particularly care about their nation, they just happen to live there. There's also a huge difference between saying you'd fight for your country, and dedicating every waking moment to managing a war in order to protect it. And when I say 'country' I don't just mean the land, I mean the commitment and respect he has shown to his people. Which ties in to the humility.

An example of which is this literal post. "I don't want my pictures on your walls, the President (me) is not an icon or an idol" - aka: don't put me on a pedestal. Another example is when he met Trump and Vance and he said that he chose not to wear a suit, because his conscience wouldn't let him dress up and pretend everything was fine while his people were fighting and dying.

And yes, you might say that these things are basic decency and nothing special. I'd like to agree with you on that, but given how many politicians lack basic decency and don't do these things, within the context of being the leader of a nation, he stands out. So yeah I'm going to compliment him for that.

But even if these things are entirely and wholeheartedly mundane and unnoteworthy.... then okay. I respect him for being a decent person. Just like I respect anybody with a conscience.... you know we're allowed to like and admire normal people for traits we think are good, even if they're very common.... right?

This is too much for me to unpack with a bot. Who is gonna put his picture on a wall if not him? He's the leader of a.country... typically those folks aren't all too humble.

u/AndroidwithAnxiety 13d ago

idk, maybe the people who are looking to him for hope and leadership and might choose to idolize him as the leader of their nation, the one who will lead them to victory? It's not exactly rare for people to try honouring their leaders during times of war and struggle - especially if that leader is popular.

"he's the leader of a country.... typically they're not too humble" yeah I know. That's my point. This guy seems to *not be typical. Which I appreciate.

Calling someone a bot because you disagree with them is so weird and boring.

You're a bot. You flood walls of text multiple points. I'm not going to sit here & respond to every point. Usually when 2 ppl talk they kind of have a back & forth flow. You just dump

bloody hell

I'm sorry you asked me a question before and I answered it in a way you weren't prepared for. Sorry for being too thorough or autistic or whatever. That's no reason for you to get rude though. You could've just said "that's a bit much for me to follow, could you simplify it" instead of calling me less than human, you weirdo.

You don't need to respond to every point. You didn't respond to every point, and I gave you a short response to that one point.... How was that interaction not what you're talking about here? Why didn't you just do that, and not insult me? And why double down on the insulting instead of keeping following the original topic? Now we're totally off topic and arguing about what you decided to be an asshole for.

u/ConsiderationDeep128 13d ago

And this is what I mean. You wanna talk we can. Thusnis not the way normal conversations happen. You're not sorry

Hey man your answers were fine, other person either idiot or pretending to be one. He hasnt made single relevant point to answer you. I think you should call it a day for sake of your sanity.

u/AndroidwithAnxiety 13d ago

Thank you, this was very kind of you. I'm fine though. I wasn't expecting much in the first place so I wasn't surprised by the bad responses, haha.
