American Government Thread 2: RIP John McCain, 81

I’ve been assured that it’s just bias on the part of myself and others, not the horrible way some people have chosen to interact with others. I’m sure the putrid shit (formerly) above is probably just normal bantering and not a sign of crazy. sigh.

I’ve issued a time-out to Shinji so he can catch a breath. I don’t think we need to make things personal and ugly: other posters are not dumping grounds for your personal problems.

Who the fuck is that?

Trump says there is no limit on scope yet not official word from WH on this or anything…

Yeah, that would be an summation with significant merit.

It’s pretty clear that Shinji was making a point regarding the slippery slope that the “believe all accusers of sexual assoult” argument makes. Very disingenuous for anyone to even remotely take what he was saying personally.

Not really, no.

Shinji was trivializing the accusation, and attacking the alleged victim with accusations of the same crime.

If you do not see how that is absolutely, utterly, completely despicable, well, I am left to assume that you do not know any actual females intimately in your own personal life.

If you do, then I would assert that you are the one being disingenous here.

His calling all of us rapists was just the diarrhea drizzle on top of the shit crepe that was his entire posting history for the last 48 hours.

The acoustics of the echo chamber were getting iffy. Preppy just doing what he’s been doing to wash off the salt ever since Hillary lost.

I kinda liked this place back in 2016 because it was one of the few places on the Internet I visited that wasnt a total left or right echo chamber.

But the politics of the times demands that the only political discourse that exists take place within echo chambers. Whether it be /r/politics or TD, Trump’s victory has created an age where there is no sanctified ground. There is no place left where the war of minds does not poison the very battlefield it takes place on.

I want to be clear that I’m not blaming Preppy (though I’m sure he will construe it otherwise). But the times being what they are, no one can escape their cognitive biases.

It’s just too damn bad.

I don’t see how I’m echo chambering when I ask how Ford is a slut and a predator.

I’m married. Think the woman in my life is reasonably happy.

What ShinjiGohan was doing was obnoxious, yes, but no less obnoxious than the staid rantings of daboog or the angry stream of dehumanizing adhominems from Brent and Punk.

I think Zero’s post above addresses your point adequately.

Kanye is dumb like really dumb

He is alienating his fanbase for alt righters lol

It doesn’t tho because I never said I believed anybody.

Unless I’m missing the point of that post.

Rantings? How am i ranting? Trump took money out of my pocket

Trump denies any wrong doing with puerto rico

Trump is a stupid asshole who got pushed to the forefront when there were multiple candidates better than him

Thanks to him though we might see some change, but trumpers always come off as idiots

I think choosing a less controversial candidate instead of pushing one with tons of horse shit is dumb

I mean look at Gorsuch. Voted through with little problems and none of this rape accusation

You were trying to have a conversation with someone who assumed the role of a one note performance artist.

If you were trolling the troll. Good job, well done. Pat on the back. Mission accomplished.

If you weren’t… It kinda speaks to your intelligence. But I’ll leave it at that.

And now we have the holier than thou bs

Well I never claimed to be the smartest person in the room.

Guess thats my fault for taking someone on SRK even remotely seriously. My mistake. I’ll be sure to treat you all like trolly shit stains from here on out, I’d hate to look dumb for trying to understand a really important situation going on with our supreme court.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I don’t think you need to take anything seriously to request that that kind of behavior stop. It’s just needlessly ugly behavior.

Kanye isn’t dumb. A lot of people are insulting his intelligence instead of debating his points.

Kanye isn’t dumb. Doesn’t mean he’s a thought leader. A lot of this response is hyperbolic. Besides, if you really are trying to do something, why not just create your own party.

To be honest, He made one or two fair points with regard to better discourse. However, a lot of what he was doing intended to fan the flames. Why talk about “being bullied” when you are Superman. No trailblazer with that ego should be on someone else’s bandwagon.
