According to Carnegie Mellon University, scientific research on a topic won’t change people’s minds. They found that beliefs associated with religious and political topics will be deeply polarized with education.
I don’t know what to make of this. “It’s takes a phd to observe common sense” is the closest I can come to a simple explanation.
As a philosophical pursuit I can see it, but from anecdotal observation it seems pretty obvious what’s going on here.
People tend to believe the first thing they are taught. Not ALL people on all things but if you are brought up with a religious background, not just that your parents are religious, but that you have had actual religious indoctrination… you tend to be more religious. This also correlates to someone being born into a Muslim country having a higher chance of becoming Islamic, than say…Christian or Jewish.
Of course education polarises people. People learn stuff and that shuts off their acceptance of other things. Obvious right?
If you’ve been told and given good evidence that the earth is round… you are likely going to be shut off to the notion that it is flat. Not ALL people of course, but the majority.
People only tend to change their minds when confronted by very strong evidence to a contrary supposition or conclusion… and even still there will be residual long term effects of the old supposition that will still affect how these people that have changed their minds view the world.
Unless they were on the fence of belief in the first place.
Anecdotal… but yeah. I’ve seen this across just about everyone I’ve ever encountered, never thought much about it though, kinda like… hey dirt is dirty, news at 10.
I could go on, but perhaps I’m not understanding what they are trying to say or ask here… it seems pretty obvious in laymens terms, perhaps I’m not thinking about it with enough depth.
every time you try to define what revenge is you’re just turning it into a debate about definitions, specifically personal ones. you know what im saying, debate the point.
9gag had this short clip of some documentary about the real life Annable doll and all the spooky cursed shit in that room owned by the couple based off the Conjuring movie. I say, why not find out if that shit is real and use the Antifa as experiments?
Like get the doll out of the box and put in the house/room of the loudest fucker of the group? Or lead them all in that room and just lock em in for a month?
I swear, there are a lot of mysteries, myths, that we can probably confirm to legit/bullshit 100% we just can’t test that because it can risk lives, so why not with complete trash like the Antifa?
Agreed. The right needs not to stoop to their level. Unless they are being violent and there is no other way to deal with them, then violence isn’t necessary or warranted. Let the shitstains prove their lack of worth with their violence and get to unmasking the fuckers asap so they can’t be anonymous in their lawbreaking.
Not mean for you specifically, but I’m currently reading dinesh d’souzas new book, the big lie. Pretty eye opening in some parts, also confirms things that I had already known and suspected, like fascism actually being a product of the radical left, not the radical right.
Good book for anyone seeking the truth according to a conservative viewpoint complete with facts and sources for facts. It is definitely a hit piece against the left, so a grain of salt needs to be taken to some viewpoints, but mostly it comes off as accurate and concise.
To be fair, there’s always been an element that was at least comfortable with fascist tendencies.
I do find it funny though that people are so polarized along an artificial dichotomy that they naturally assign anything they dislike to the other side, no matter how incongruous the association ends up.
What if “anti fascism” is in actuality, fascism? A name doesn’t make an action. An action makes an action and a name is simply what we decide to call it.
If I killed people and called myself an anti murderer, would it make me not a murderer simply because I call myself something different?
From what I’ve seen of them they go after anyone that is a trump supporter. Not every or even the majority of trump supporters consider themselves nazis. I’m a trump supporter and don’t consider myself a nazi by any stretch of any kind of imagination. I don’t condone violence of any kind other than the kind used in defense of ones self. I also support everyone’s rights to assemble even that of antifa and that of those people that consider themselves nazis.
Also, fascistic people are very known to fight amongst and kill each other. This is outlined in d’souzas book.
But shit I’m off topic. It’s pretty much all in d’souzas book which is available in part for free via sample.
Pertho said he would axe any political talk though so I’m already skating on thin ice. I will let you get the last word, just take my rebuttal as “read the book” ok I’m finished.
If you would also like to not be off topic in the future then after you make your inevitable rebuttal, feel free to PM me.
Most of the wacky antifa people just dumb leftist commies. They are as big an idiots as the white nationalist because they extol the virtues of a system of government that is ultimately as bas as the fascist they are fighting.
Its fine that they wanna throw down with racists but they also want to throw down and disrupt every single conservative for the sake of just because.
Im actually too busy taking care of my daughter too care. Im also leaving this open because the bad to good ratio has been on the good side on top of having a lot of funny off topic moments.
Close a thread people kept telling made GD look bad = im an asshole.
Keep a shitty thread open so you guys can have fun with it = Im an asshole.
That is enough of reason for me. Pertho has priorities, care of your own child supersedes anything else.
I am getting tired of that. The Extreme left is getting to the point where if you are not part of the “Solution” then you are part of the Problem.
That they are trying to find excuses to escalate violence and excuses for that violence.
I believe if you want to make a moral battle and win, you need to take the moral high road.
Otherwise you just become a hypocrite.
