Me? I was commenting on eddies sexist & mysogynist slurs about women who he obviously feels threatened by.

Well what do I know...

I just thought it unbecoming for anyone to call a woman stupid and ugly. Apparently it’s OK to use those kinds of slurs if you’re a liberal.

I didn't read his post apparently and just responded to yours at face value.

That's the crux of the problems today, people just spout off without thinking things through. (not singling you out Buddahaid, everyone does it to some extent, some more than others.) Which leads to arguments over the minutiae rather than discussions on the issue itself.

Since there was no link between the two posts how would I know. Something I was guilty of in my comment in question.

Yes, leather naturally!

Naturally! Although I hear good things about hemp rope these days.

Rockstar, you do need to tone it down a little. You are starting to push it, calling people names and baiting them as Buddhiad said.

Liberals aren't the only ones here using slurs and such.

Excellent article. Very insightful. If you're wondering why Trump supporters feel as they do this article does a great job of describing the feeling and does so from a fairly neutral standpoint.

Quote:

...This is where people whose political identity was largely defined by a naive belief in what they learned in Civics class began to see the outline of a Regime that crossed all institutional boundaries. Because it had stepped out of the shadows to unite against an interloper. GOP propaganda still has many of them thinking in terms of partisan binaries, but A LOT of Trump supporters see that the Regime is not partisan. They all know that the same institutions would have taken opposite sides if it was a Tulsi Gabbard vs Jeb Bush election.

It's hard to describe to people on the left (who are used to thinking of gov't as a conspiracy... Watergate, COINTELPRO, WMD, etc) how shocking & disillusioning this was for people who encourage their sons to enlist in the Army, and hate ppl who don't stand for the Anthem.

They could have managed the shock if it only involved the government. But the behavior of the corporate press is really what radicalized them. They hate journalists more than they hate any politician or gov't official, because they feel most betrayed by them.

The idea that the press is driven by ratings/sensationalism became untenable. If that were true, they'd be all over the Epstein story. The corporate press is the propaganda arm of the Regime they now see in outline. Nothing anyone says will ever make them unsee that, period.

This is profoundly disorienting. Many of them don't know for certain whether ballots were faked in November 2020, but they know for absolute certain that the press, the FBI, etc would lie to them if there was. They have every reason to believe that, and it's probably true.
