| joe40001 05/15/21 6:40:32 PM #1: | I basically encounter 3 types of people: Far-left Far-right Disengaged. It's like pulling teeth to get a far-left person to admit something obvious like "yeah ok, maybe math isn't racist." or "yeah ok, biological differences in the sexes exist." It's like pulling teeth to get a far-right person to admit something obvious like "yeah ok, maybe I shouldn't be afraid of a vaccine if I thought COVID was harmless." or "yeah ok, Trump was untrustworthy" And it's also frustrating seeing the disengaged people, because I can understand them too, they see stupid shit everywhere but they get yelled at when they call it out. But it's so frustrating seeing somebody who I think makes good points just fall down the stairs into MAGA land. It's like these people all get into their bubbles which have their own gravity wells and they just can't help but fall into a blind mindset that is so seldom self interrogative. There's only a handful of people I've encountered that don't seem to fall into this trap, and it's frustrating. I mostly blame the internet and capitalism, as the most polarized are the loudest and most engaged, and loudness does tend to drown out reason, and reasonable people seldom are loud/aggressive. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 ...
