i am not conflating average folk with extremists.
that is an assertion by you.
but we can all be a useful idiot from time to time, which is why being open to new information is so important.
notice my post? notice what i am saying?
the ideologue and sycophant will not only reject ANY information that is contrary to their internal belief system, they will actively become hostile to anyone who dares offer a counterpoint, or pushback.
notice the downvotes?
now i personally do not care but those votes are very telling.
they reveal the very point i am making.
at least you commented and made a point.
one that i agree with.
but i do find peoples ease in which they are funneled into their own echo chambers
extremely concerning. hard to rethink a position when everyone is sucking your dick and telling you how awesome your farts smell.
*for those not paying attention i am also speaking about the blue hairs and the libbies*
this stream has become very homogenous over the years and the diversity of political thought has dwindled to a trickle. discussions have become rhetorical monologues, regurgitations of that days particular message with absolutely zero thought put in..just stenography and dictation.even the counterpoints and pushback have been handed to them like a cheat sheet at a high school test.
which is why i come for the LOLs.
or try ..i miss the mark more than i hit.
but i always try to insert a nugget to see if someone catches it.
most don't because many here are too young to recognize the reference.
anyways, my coffee is done and i am heading out for the day.
i appreciate your pushback and commentary.
i think you are one of the good ones who act in good faith, please do not change that part.
and remain curious and as always
stay awesome.
