American politics

I've probably said this before.... but the issue is people are stuck in their bubbles/rabbit holes. The vehicle of delivery is addictive, its fed to you constantly and quickly. The algorithm will lock you in, it's good for businesses (whether that's commercial or political gain). I've seen some phone app audits and it's eye watering.

There's no space for critical or lateral thinking?

But zooming further out, I just think people concern themselves with far too much. Most of what happens in the world doesn't come to you, unless you look for it and invite it in. And what does that honestly give you?

And people are so idiotic they don't know they are being used as a sales tool. Big money in racism, its being proven........people are being played

This is the part I agree with SO SO MUCH. I don't think I am special in any way shape or form, I think I am a normal person, I have a fairly decent social circle and because of the nature of my work I would say a larger than normal work one, which means I also see and speak to alot of people and travel this country and abroad. Most of the overblown concerns and bile I read about the country being overtaken, trans people being an issue, London being unliveable, Islam taking over, wokeness everywhere etc etc etc.........Its just frankly BS. None of this stuff impacts on my life because I live in a very live and let live mentality and let people be, they don't impact on me, I don't on them. I don't feel threatened or unsafe in "my own country" and I am probably exposed to areas you would think it would be a problem alot.

As I said yesterday, people are almost ambulance chasing on many of these subjects, there is also ALOT of conflation between things that are not related in order to make things seem worse than they are.

WTAF!!

How the f*ck do you expect to debate if you can't use facts or opinions?

Seriously...

Try again...

I didnt say you can't use facts or opinions. I said an argument, not just a fact or opinion (or insult).

A fact or opinion alone does not an argument make.

"Not just" means it can include those things, but also has to include other things.

Is that sufficiently clear or do you need it spelled out even further?

I would suggest googling how to construct an argument if not sufficiently clear at this point.

Oh shut up. Only fools are buying your BS.

Seriously, I am not joking, the self delusion that you are correct is... Astonishing.

What is dragging this place down are posters like you and your mates, who suddenly can't push away some by constantly resinsulting, insuating, and labelling, just because they have very different opinions than you.

Sorry, if you want a better debate, then stop debating like a world class c*nt.

I had some one put me on ignore last night because i called him out for lying about what I said.

I have done nothing wrong, but be honest with my opinions and backed most of it up with evidence from reputable sources.

Sorry, but you and your jerk circle are the problem not me.

The only one insulting anyone in here, is you. You don't bring a single reflected argument, just vile language and insults, yet claim the moral high ground.
There is a word that decribes behavior like that; Narcissism.

FFS!!

The BS is unreal. I get page after being told I am racist, bigot, stupid, people laughing at my arguments, lying about what I say, my intelligence being attacked....

Yet I am the only one who is insulting?

I am all up for a proper debate, but then maybe it's the others that shouldn;t be debating like c*nts then.

Its amazing how @thfcsteff and I are having a normal debate.... Maybe it because he is actually debating, rather being than petty c*nt that can only hurle ists and phobes, resorting to lying about what I said, then assuming know what my intelligence levels are.

If you want a debate, then debate, but the left can't help it...

If you want to know why trump won, then you need to look at the insane ideology that is being pushed by elements of the left.

CRT
White privilege
All this woke ideology being forced into everyone's entertain of all kinds, then calling them racist, bigots, transphobes, Nazi's, Fascist and it's all your fault that these shows/films/games are being cancelled, because nobody like the things they enjoy being ruined, by a punch of narrcistist that want everything to represent them... This is the left... And no one is going to give a flying f*ck what you say vote for, or vote for people that you endorse, because they just think you are a bunch of c*nts.

And this is just a tiny tiny fraction of the issues...

And these threads are living proof of this and you and other posters just can't see it. You are so oblivious and ignorant to your own failing that you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

And all everyone else in the tread is doing is laughing at me, insulting my intelligence, think that I am talking sh*t....

But ultimately proving everything I say to be correct.

I really honestly don't care what you have to say... If you want a better debate being had, then I suggest you look towards others first.

Deary me mate, I asked a question and predicted I wouldn't get a response but a rant in place of that response. That is what happened, therefore my prediction was correct. Maybe you've now gone back and ministry of truthed it such is the level of your insecurity.

Please stop crying about falling out with everyone and their dog, it's possibly not absolutely everyone else in the world that are meanies. Explore why half the forum has you on ignore, if the answer you come to is "it's everyone else's fault", try again.

In all my time on here I have seen a handful of arguments yet there be many people from both sides of the divide, its telling that one person can come on here and fall out with so many in such a short space of time.

This my whole point, it's another insult, an insuation that I am nut job or whatever....

You just can't help but lie, spin and insinuate.

And all I will do is laugh in your face.

You sad and pathetic man.

Please, continue...

You're a rich one to talk, when you called me a racist c*nt for being factually correct, repeatedly calling me a liar time after time, only to find out that I was right all along.

But I have made plenty of arguments.

Go back and argue them then if you want a debate.

Of course, we all are.

What you are not getting is that sometimes people can see what is happening for themselves with being influenced from outside sources.

And this this woke mind virus that has infected so much modern entertainment, is so blatantly obvious is hard not to see it.

It's is pure snobbery and ignorance...

In a previous post someone questioned whether the backlash against woke gaming was a thing? Really?

Go see for yourself.

Go to the steam charts, look at the licks of Concord, abandoned after two weeks, Ubisoft on the verge of collaose, after string of woke disaster after disaster...

Go have a look at what people are really saying and what is happening...

The left are far too arrogant and ignorant to what is actually going on.

Trump winning the election is prime example of this.

So we're in agreement that we're all influenced by the thinking of others.

We're also in agreement (despite your statement to the opposite) that one can see things for oneself and be influenced by others. I haven't disagreed with that.

I've asked you repeatedly for an actual argument or a source to an argument supporting your case.

Am I to think that what you presented here is to you an argument against wokeism? Is this what you consider to be an argument that others should be convinced by? Is this an example of the many arguments you put forward that people aren't able to counter?

My argument has been that wokeness is one, if not the biggest factors of why Trump won the election?

What part of this is, isn't an argument?
