Of course it is. And all is so easy to believe, suddenly. Did you know the moon is made of green cheese.

^ I don't believe in anything anymore

As I wrote in my first post

"I couldn't be more indifferent if they belong to far right or to the left..."
The words "be mor indifferent" should have been "couldn't care less"

And by the way...Dowly is right

Well that esculated quickly. the far right and far left have alot more in common than they would like to admit. e.g both have an unhealthy obsession with group identity and seek power though division (dividing society in to perceived victims and perpertrators based on group.) Both think tyrrany through political violence is perfectly acceptable. And belive in the naive and childish notion of some kind of achievable utopia - 'as long as they are the ones in charge - of course'
Plus they can't debate for crap with out getting into a rage, but then such radicals (at the grunt activist level anyway) are not usually particularly bright people, so thats no surprise.
Remember when the News used to bring in an 'Expert' in certain segments, anyone else noticed how often they bring in 'activists' now instead. pretty funny. Rather than person with great analycal skills here's is a mindless zelot.

Markus, i do not mean it personally, but there are so many trolls here lately that i am beginning to lose patience. I wonder if anoyne went to school or had some education; it looks as if most get their information and belief from The Sun, Fox News or Facebook.

It is of course a self-amplifying effect, when you look for your opinion you get your tailored answers (Skybird might tell you some psychological reason), provided by Google, so you can happily live on in your filter bubble, provided by "neutral" seach engines or political opinion builders like Express UK, Fox News or Russia Today.

So you post some 'easy' or should i say 'naive' (sorry) questions, seeing people trying honestly to answer, but then you pick the most right wing answer (which you already decided to believe when you "asked"), and in the end always say you believe in their reasoning. Not only here, not only now.
For me, this is nothing else but trolling. If you are real and want real answers read some books for F's sake. The internet is an influence-propaganda machine providing positive feedback to give in to personal prejudices and amplify them, with support to those who pay most.
But nothing can replace a good school education or your own educated decision and thinking. You should always have doubts about easy answers, always question your own opinion, it will help understanding in the end.

I probably used the wrong words, was insulting and impatient and arrogant, and i am sorry. And i'm finally out, promised.

And you shouldn't! There are SO MUCH crap information out there that you are better off checking it.

It's not even political stuff, but history too. There's channels like "Oversimplified History" on youtube that's hugely popular... it says in the title that's it's oversimplified... why would anyone want to watch that?

****ing sucks that humanity is getting stupider out of lazyness. Our future Einsteins will be the average people of 10 years past.

**** this ****!

EDIT: And especially now, looking at you US politics (and brexit etc.), the real information has been muddled with the false, conspiracy etc. and this goes both ways, left and right.

We live in a time when we have more information on our phone in our pocket than a human has ever had, yet... we choose to not use it, because partisanship/world view/and so on.

Wise words from the Llama
Though I think ive seen that "Oversimplified History" on YT, its meant to be abit of a parody no?. Isnt its polularity down to its humor rather than it being informative?

So now history can only be true if in compliance with lefty world views. well, you learn something new every day.

Islam does the same, it even actively destriys artifacts referring to nonislamic cultures and early times. But left societies will get there, too. Schools in Germany already teach heavily revised concepts of history and politics, and the media actively suppress unwanted views and facts.


Just to mention over-simlification and Ludwig von Mises in one thread - thats a bit rich.You could as well link Einstein to esoterics.

Sky, its only facsistic Radial Islamists /lefties / righties) that really buy in to the tyrannical approach. they only get anywhere because moderates either bend the knee, fail nip it the bud or just ignore it in the hope it will go away.

You as indervidual can do what you can to fight it/ argue against it before hand, but ultimatley the majority will decide their own fate (and ours).

Still I wouldnt lose too much sleep over them though because even when they succeed in pushing the masses to comply with their utopian fantasy, its all doomed to fail soon enough. (albeit at some cost to society or humanity.)
But the approach of enforcing an idea or world view ALWAYs fails in the end.
Even when they win, they will still lose, that type of stupidity rarely goes unpunnished in the long term.
