@jethroneemo2150 it's sad when you need to lie to engage in enough whataboutism to even try to defend a fascist manchild. No, the problem with liberals is they idolize the golden mean fallacy as a virtue and subscribe to an ideology that is a bastardized mix of discarded left-wing ideas and conservative propaganda (and that they're way too soft on fascists like Trump)

I highly recommend Innuendo Studios' "alt right playbook" In particular, "always a bigger fish", "the origins of conservatism", and "I hate Mondays" The very notion of "solving problems" in the sense a progressive would think about it isn't actually a part of the ideology. Problems exist as something to sit around and passively just keep agreeing it's bad (without taking any systemic steps to reduce in the future) or as either evidence that people aren't "in the right place in the hierarchy" or just something to sort those deserving of power and privilage from those underserving. It's often not even that they believe that solvable problems need to persist. It's that (especially beyond "just put the right people in power and it'll sort itself out") they don't even believe "solvable problems" are a thing, and look at attempts to solve (or at least mitigate) them as either dangerous naivete or a cynical plot to put the "wrong" people in power. And yeah, there is almost zero room for compromise there. Unless you can make them feel like following their thought leaders will make them weak (the avoidance of feeling weak being the underlying motivation for everything), you can't get through to them because not only do they not believe in your goals, they probably don't think you do either. Why do they resist masking (for one of countless examples)? Because who's telling who what to do and blaming China are more important to them than any reduction in the death toll. Notice also the black and white thinking: either something is 100% effective, or it's worthless. They don't believe that, say, a 50% reduction in death toll would matter to anyone because they don't. To them, either a single solution will completely eliminate the problem, or it's worthless. And if it's worthless, they assume you're either a "sheep" or (by projecting their own motivations onto you) trying to control them just for the sake of wielding power. They are occasionally (accidentally) right on some things, though. Like psychology, as a field, being far too PC. Right-Wing Authoritarianism is a mental disorder and needs to be categorized as such.

The thing you often need to do to have a rational discussion with children who want to pretend to be adults on something they will have an emotional reaction to, unfortunately...

@outlawscar3328 yup, for all the long list of flaws of online content, getting spoonfed a narrow sensationalised perspective via the TV from a private, for-profit megacorp who's in the business of getting other private, for-profit megacorps to keep spending lots of money on advertising (thus creating abundant and massive conflicts of interest with actually presenting the news halfway honestly) was even worse. It's a large part of why the generations that grew up with TV and no internet are actually the ones most susceptible to disinformation on Facebook, not the generations so often stereotyped as addicted to social media. Also, on a less serious note: cable tv is already an obsolete format even for plain entertainment. The main reason streaming services haven't completely replaced it yet (dispite being objectively superior because, for starters, you're not set to a specific programming schedule) is those who are still somewhat uncomfortable with technology. In just a few decades, it's going to come to an end to free up bandwidth for internet connections because it will be entirely unprofitable because no-one is going to be watching TV channels.

No disrespect to him, but it's honestly not that hard. Anyone who is both informed and has good public speaking skills should be able to school The View. They're not selected for exceptional understanding of politics. In fact, understanding politics too well would likely disqualify you in the hiring process.

After the bill of rights, ammendments have been passed at a rate of about 1 every 13.5 years, on average. Not only is this too slow (we needed another bill of rights back in FDR's days to make up for lost ground), but we're at nearly 30 years (over 2x the average and the longest gap since the 1870-1913 gap between the 15th and 16th amendments) because, largely, of an unprecedented denial of political power to younger generations. On top of all that, the last one was pathetically weak and we live in an era of extremely rapid change compared to the rest of our country's history. We're at the point where we need at least another 10 to catch up or a complete re-drafting, but we won't be getting that any time soon so we need to fight for absolutely everything we can get. We're already in stagnation. We need to get things moving again and fast.

There are plenty who do. The rarity is those who do and are granted airtime.

@theresagosnell7645 side note: "indivisible, under God" were added parts.

@chesterlestrange7725 everyone there but him DOES have a juvenile understanding of politics and presenting them like the country should give a shit what they have to say (even when they're not being overtly condescending on top of that) is an insult to the country. So YES!

@16driver16 tbf, they did put "left" in quotation marks, so I don't think that was the implication.

@Clusterboy still happens. The murder weapon has just changed. In other countries they're called "honor killings" but when Americans do it, it's called a "crime of passion" or "intimate partner violence" even when it's the exact same thing.

@thedissidentleftist6997 newspapers are struggling or going digital, NASCAR it more regional than age-based for it's demographic, and golf is largely a class, not generational thing and its customers can absolutely afford to pay more to play at golf corses....I think I'm genuinely missing your point.
