Why do people have to agree with everything other people say in order to be accepted?
In general I believe a Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Capitalist/Environmentalist/Western agenda.
Things will be going along great, and then the Middle East comes up as a topic and I have to get slammed as not being a Liberal/Progressive because I think the problem here is of course nuanced, but mostly the problem that the Islamic culture cannot coexist peacefully and tolerantly with any other culture, unless it has dominance over then. I also do think the the problem with the banks is that we are not on the gold standard, or that we have fiat currency.
I think that puts me almost exactly coincident with the Bernie Sanders agenda.
I think a big problem, and the reason we end up following the money agenda is that the issue agenda fragments people who do not really get the idea of civilization or prioritizing or tolerance. There are tons of very stupid and anti-social people both sides that cannot be part of a team, and cannot have a rational discussion about much of anything. These people are so socially isolated that they, in Chomsky's words need to be regimented and distracted like a child or an old person with dementia, and that is what we end up having.
The rest of us who might like to have a more cooperative society, and work in more cooperative groups end up the prisoners of these large groups of people that the establishment has developed herding technology to use against us, and we through no fault of our own are disenfranchised and forced to live under the corporate military junta - with no way to fit in because they have enough people to sustain themselves and do not want to argue or be regulated by people of "minimal or no substance or connection" to the existing system - which they see no problem with.

David ... what about the opposite effect of talking to the types of people you are careful and patient to tiptoe around so you do not close their minds ... and that is the fact that people like this who as you report share fake news are used to a certain mindset and will often do the opposite with you, because that is what they are all about.
For example, go dissect the average right-winger, conservative post here on You-Tube, or especially on Yahoo, they show up already with severe insults in the first thing they say. They are conditioned to speak and think like that because the people who set up this whole ungodly system know that it fragments people apart and shuts down any hope of communication or even empathy.
They are as trained to hate Liberals by just certain key Pavlovian words as the Palestinians are to hate Jews. When someone is dealing with fake news does it not occur to you that they are probably already too far gone to ever communicate with or show them another way?
The basic transactions in a social society system like this are dysfunctional and toxic and driven as deep as possible into the emotional core of people as possible precisely so that they will never be tempted or able to consider other points of view. It is hard to ever know what might get through to someone so far gone. I know occasionally it does happen but I am not aware of any real scientific analysis of how or why?
Most Progressives, hopefully at least, are able to change their minds, though many are just as knee-jerk as their opposites, because they search for the truth. I think people who do not search for truth are not courageous enough to deal with the truth, and their behaviors are often not because of the truth but because social conditions, as in they are dependent on someone in their lives they have to please. This is just like the totalitarian mindset, and it does exist on the left too, but it is not the nature of the Left as it seems to be so integral to the right.
