Or maybe your ivory tower understanding simply ignores the realities of the working class people who voted for Trump to do away with these policies.
- SecretDreams 2y agoI've got to imagine this forum is officially compromised at this point with these style of posts on here? I'm shocked by the level of pro-Russia content coming from you and other posters. I hope it's just brigading. I'm devastated if any meaningful amount of Americans feel this way. It's a fall from grace I didn't think I'd see in such real time.
- naasking 2y agoThe fact that you interpret any pushback to your opinion as pro-Russia is one of the main problems in modern discourse. You're so ideologically captured that everything has become binary.
- SecretDreams 2y agoQuite the opposite. I've just come to the realization that discourse with individuals arguing in bad faith is more harmful to society than any fleeting chance I may have of convincing the individual their path is the wrong one.
- naasking 2y agoDoubtful. Public discourse online is often not about convincing interlocuters, but mostly about whoever is watching/reading.
- SecretDreams 2y agoHence why you waited to respond despite having made other posts since my response?
- naasking 2y agoLong threads with little chance of convergence are boring, fewer people read them, reading new articles is more interesting, and people got shit to do. News at 11.
