Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

I don't think bringing up (this is going to rub people wrong) people's pasts of being a pedophile or rapist should be call for a death sentence (my moral and ethical stance - although my emotions disagree) but if your problem is that people refer to an attacker or a white dude asking to be shot by literlly acting hard while saying the N word in a racist ****ing way multiple times (@Zombie - you **** for calling me alt right and ignoring this) while ignoring the fact of why he was chasing Kyle then you're a biased sheepleton.

In other words, him being a pedophile shouldn't be the reason he's shot. You're more concerned people bringing this pos act of his rather than his actions that got him killed.

You asked what was wrong with the segment of the Tim Pool interview, and I answered. Than, rather than agree or disagree, you took a turn into the incoherent that somehow ends with me taking sides in the Rittenhouse case.

For someone who claims to be neutral and dislikes both sides, you are acting very much as if you are invested in one particular viewpooint.

FWIW there's no evidence of Reinoehl being a sexual predator or child molester. I think that 'fact' was just made up by some goober on 8chan and it spread through the far right ecosystem from there.

Truly shocking to see Archie take that and run with it though lol
 
I also think fecebook plays a major role in the disinformation that posters regurgitate here on this forum. Right wing news dominates Facebook. The more time you spend on facebook, the more likely you’ll be exposed to radical and extremist views. Their algorithm is set to provide you with more extremist rhetoric by what you view and like. It’s toxic to public discourse.

Archie, for the third time, I concede you aren't alt right. However, on the topic of BLM protests you've uncritically posted content from Ian Cheong, Tim Pool, and Andy Ngo, all far right media figures with less than zero credibility, so I've got to draw the only other available conclusion - that you're just not terribly bright.

This post is kind of an example of something I find interesting and telling in today's society, and one reason our political divide is widening. The outright dismissal of all ideas because of the source, without any willingness to consider there might be merit there, and ideas worth discussing. The Twitter-sphere makes it so easy to simply disparage and move on to someone whose idea make one comfortable. But seldom has compromise and true progress ever been made without entertaining some ideas that make us uncomfortable. I think this is a big problem. So Archie posts a video by a known right-winger and says "listen to the 3 minute to 5 minutes mark" or something, and the response is "he's a right wing nut I'm not listening to any of it" regardless of merit. It happens the other way around too. To me this unwillingness to entertain ideas that might make us uncomfortable is a huge huge problem. We have to be willing to challenge our own paradigm if we ever hope to get any closer together in our political space. But in the current social media world it is just so easy to build a nice comfy cocoon of ideas, with plenty of ideas I agree with, and plenty of choices for confirmation bias from the other side, that why do I ever have to try to have or entertain an uncomfortable original thought ever again? I think that's a big problem.

@One Brow is one of the few willing to actually listen to the segment and formulate a reasoned response. I wish more people would do that as well instead it just immediate dismissal of any material based exclusively on source.

If they were typical run of the mill right wingers that'd be one thing, but the three people mentioned above are the bottom of the barrel, and really shouldn't be taken seriously.

It's easy to expand that circle.
 
Zombie said:
I guess, but you gotta draw the line somewhere. It's on the people presenting content to behave credibly if they want their views taken seriously, and these people don't.

When is it ever asked for those on the right to expand their circle? This is why the Overton window consistently moves further and further to the right.

Lol

I guess people bringing up someone being a pedophile doesn't rub my "objective meter" wrong.

I'm not surprised this is "wrong" for you. Didn't you go out of your way to defend a rapist last week?
