Made a pro Trump post here once. It got down voted into oblivion. Not on Facebook anymore, but when I was my aunt defriended me over politics. What this author doesn't understand is that the right isn't in an echo chamber. We're very much aware of left wing media and are exposed to it all the time. It's just lost all its persuasive power over us because it's founded on straw men. Now the answer presented is basically to justify political censorship under the guise of fact checking? Good to know that the left has learned nothing. Get ready to keep on losing.
- Houshalter 10y agoMaybe you aren't in an echo chamber. What about The people liking stories about Obama being born in Kenya? Or trump being endorsed by the pope? Removing blatantly false lies isn't censorship, it's literally the bare minimum they should do.
- scrollaway 10y agoYes, keep making insulting sweeping statements and demonizing the other side. After all, that's worked so well for everybody involved. God, this election really has brought out the worst in people. I'm sorry for your Aunt.
- calsy 10y agoNot you though, you're a ray of sunshine way up there on your pedestal.
- scrollaway 10y agoGP edited their post since I replied to make it less arrogant. Maybe you should edit yours too. Edit: Oh and I'm sick of being denounced as a moderate. Seriously, the highlight of the entire election has been attacks and demonization on the other side. Fuck me for trying to point out shitty behaviour, right?
- calsy 10y agoMy original comment is appropriate. The fact you feel it's appropriate to comment on his relationship with a family member and say you're sorry for his Aunt and then pass judgement about the general public's behaviour during an election is quite arrogant.
- scrollaway 10y agoWhat on earth is arrogant about passing judgement on the pathetic average behaviour of the american public during this election?
- calsy 10y agoNo one nominated you the judge of good behaviour, just yourself. Thus, you are the dictionary definition of arrogant.
- scrollaway 10y agoI don't think there's anything I regret more the past month than engaging with you. Here I am complaining about demonization, and here you are focusing so hard on attacking me. Since you're such a fan, there's an email on my profile; feel free to send all your personality feedback and concerns there.
- calsy 10y agoBit dramatic, im sure there are plenty more things you regret doing this month. I enjoyed our conversation and Im glad you learned a thing or 2 about being humble.
