American politics

I agree with your general point, but what about angry people being pushed to the left, are they not being manipulated as well?

Absolutely. Though I think the right is currently more effective at it. I also think there's more money in it on the right.

Many motivations of course too, not just money. Attention, a form of celebrity etc.

I think the same with many forms of "influencers", not just political as well.

You did this in a much more eloquent and considerate way than I am capable of, my admiration of your tolerance/ patience grows (and my apologies for being a bit of a sycophant at this stage!).

When you think there are grown ups who are devastated they gave a female character a lightsaber it's amazing, but actually terrifying when you realise their vote is worth just as much as yours. Watching you break things down to one of "best newcomer of the year" nominees is like watching Stephen Fry explaining Greek mythology to a potato.

Cheers.

I've believed some real bad things myself. Always appreciated in hindsight when people took the time to meet that with some patience, even though I've often taken longer to change my mind than I would have liked. But I've also appreciated having my views ridiculed, that too has value.

I see we've reached the confidently claim that I'm right part of the argumentation, mixed in with a slight bit of insulting.

Go on then since you're so confident about this. Who has properly influenced your opinions on CRT, wokeness in video-games, gender pronouns and how these views impact "the left"?

Surely given how confident you are about these things you should be very confident in your sources for these beliefs and be happy to share...

Ummmm... The Left... Because it's the "left" that is pushing this brick.

It's not f*cking brain science.

Oh come on. Not even a single source of someone breaking down why wokeness in Star Wars, CRT or any of these issues is such a bad thing? No real influence on your thinking on this you're willing to share?

Why do i need to provide sources when I can see it for myself?
