There is a total lack of acknowledgement of any thought other than that which the angry mob insists

a reply to: User1138

That's all that most people on that "side" do. They act like cretins and treat everyone outside of their little bubble like trash. If you do not agree with the modern left in this country, you are to be "taken out" by any means available. Just imagine the people you see posting all of the MSM propaganda on ATS, sitting there all day reading artices from the MSM. They actually think that we are watching the rise of Hitler. They actually believe all of the propaganda, as far fetched as it all is.

It makes me sad, especially coming from people on this website.

Lol what are you whining about?

Ok i'll bite, lmao Do you think it is fair that if you ask for a girl's phone number on the street you could be fined or jailed? Do you think that it is fair that if you misgender someone you owe that person $100,000? Do you think that google's censoring of news it arbitrarily deems "fake news" is not akin to book burning? Do you think allowing 6-year-olds to opt for gender reassignment without their parents consent, to be dangerous for their minds/bodies? Do you not for a second think that this and other examples are maybe a trend that is seriously messing with a free and open society?

Don't worry, he is a crybully. He lives in the world where making eye contact with a woman is rape, and not making eye contact with a minority is violent racism.

Wait are you saying that the post I made makes me nazi?

Oh, I forgot being against public nude bdsm is a Nazi trait. I'd better hide forever from my great uncle who won a bronze star in Italy for killing Nazi's about to flank his men. Those were REAL nazi's!

Thank you for proving my OP NEXT!

No, the post in question was about parroting and the one I linked is of you posting half a dozen memes.

a reply to: daskakik

we are in an age that ignores statistics, and favors memes. Cite the 2016 presidential election for starters.

I suppose part of the problem is being able to articulate or quantify specific societal change as it is so vast. But still the patterns are clearly there, and people would have me think i'm just seeing faces in the clouds as they turn the screws.

I also noticed that you ignored the actual points I was making, brought up none of you're own then, tried to make me look like a hypocrite. Could it be that you have no response to the truth? HMMMM

a reply to: User1138

Whether I have a response or not doesn't change the fact that you posted memes after calling people out for parroting, then you try to play it off like it is the age we live in that made you do it.

Don't like parroting talking points? Here are some BLM statistics:

How do I get the feeling that these statistics are all just "conjecture" or not "Conversational" enough for you? May it be because a great deal of thought by many on this board are driven by emotion and not reality? HMMM i'm really trying here folks am I being unfair? What am I missing? Please ideas are welcome.

a reply to: User1138

I don't care one way or the other, I was just pointing out that you did the same thing you were complaining about.

a reply to: daskakik

How come I bring up facts about the world, and they are just "Parroted talking points"? You are failing to address them again.

All I'm seeing is you just confirming your blind partisanship and lack of critical thinking that you were calling out in the OP. Just the same anti-liberal talking points I'd hear from any conservative or conservative media source.

As objective as I can be and bipartisan, it looks like the lack of "depth" in political conversation here and elsewhere is simply indicative of a point in the conversation, as it were. That point being a point where it was obvious there was never any real desire by one side to come to understanding and conclusion based on even what was best for all. Not just the poor and not just the big for profit camps. So we see who is getting stuck worse and worse is the middle class with money as in jobs or self employed.

That is the real trick! why are there no compromises for what is best for all?
Why does a coal miner working double shifts just to keep a roof over his family's head, have to hear non-stop about 5 gender bathrooms, and how racist he is for wanting to keep out overwhelming numbers of illegal immigrants?

Why do gays have to have their marriage rights revoked because I want a better health care and economic plan?

Why do we miss out on cleaner, renewable nuclear energy because it's a republican proposal and fu@k republicans?

Why do i have to look like i'm trying to hide the gender pay gap, when I know there is one? It's just a leftover system from when men were the primary bread winners, it's not an oppressive patriarchy just back hazard pay from the 40's and 50's that has yet to catch up to modern times.

Why do I have to deny climate change like 2/3rds of the republican party? I know it's a thing, i just don't think it's the government job to fix it, said nobody in Washington ever.

See a pattern here? is the system deliberately keeping us divided? or is this just the crystallizing result of a two party system?

Were these all Parroted talking points? How about you bring something constructive instead of bare criticism? What in your opinion is not a parroted talking point?

a reply to: User1138

I didn't say that post was. I was talking about the post I linked earlier. It makes no difference what you post now.

I don't even know what your points are.

a reply to: daskakik

That is because you are making no effort to listen to a word i'm saying see OP

They do sound that way.

I have no problem with things being parroted. That is your beef.

JESUS H CHRIST what in your opinion is an example of something that isn't "parroted", anecdotes, personal stories, what? By the way those are all example of conjecture.
