Has there been an instance where you decided "Nah, this is just coincidence"? Like you dismissed Pizzagate?

I can't really recall. I know there has been, I go through that process described above. If it's just one coincidence I usually just don't buy it. More often though, I'll look at a conspiracy and decide that it isn't as big a deal as people think it is or want it to be. For example, this Hunter Biden stuff. There might be something sketch, but something just tells me it isn't as big of a deal as the right wants it to be. So I don't even talk about it, because I can feel the right really stretching to make it a big deal.

The Obama birther thing is another one I don't understand.

Can you elaborate on this?

This country was built by Freemasons. One of their major symbols is the Twin Pillars, which is the idea that there are two pillars standing before Solomon's Temple. And you see it and there appears to be a choice, the left one, or the right one. But in reality, there isn't a choice between the pillars, there is only one answer in the middle, the pathway to the Temple/salvation.

The message of that being, there are no choices, only the results of two opposing forces. It's not that one or the other is going to win, it's that they work together to produce one ultimate result. The answer is always balance. Balance, like the crossway of two paths meeting, the cross Christ was hung on. Balance like the Earth being in the goldilocks zone of the perfect temperature, not too hot and not too cold.

This political system as we know it is built on that philosophical idea.

lmao more enlightened both sides bullshit from you

America's political system is founded on that philosophical principle whether you accept it or not. It's a game you can't win. Once again I'm sorry if you're America's greatest patriot who's going to fight tooth and nail for the system, I won't do it. It can't be saved, end of story.

There's no evidence of more evil being done under one party than the other. You could link me to a list of evil shit the Trump administration has done, and I'd believe everything on your list. Hell, you could make one of them up and I'd probably buy it, just cause this government is so fucked that I could believe they'd do anything.

The problem is, it would be just as easy for me to go find a list of evil fascists bull shit that's happened under Democratic administrations. And you could go down my list and try to disprove or justify some of the bad things they've done. But a Trump support could just as easily come and look at your list and justify everything on it, they do that every single day.

Let's just say you really are right, that it's still better to choose the less evil side, rather than the outright evil side from your persective: You're still not gonna change that Trump supporter's mind. He's still gonna justify that list of evil shit. And I suspect he won't change your mind either. But you might think, "But I'm reasonable and open to new ideas, I could be changed if I really saw the truth and knew it was right." Well guess what? The Trump supporter thinks the exact same thing about himself.

Neither of you are going to win. Neither of you are going to convince. But you will meet in the middle, whether it's a middle you like or not. That is how this system works. You're not going to beat it, you're not going to change it, you're not going to save anyone's life. If you want to keep playing so you can tell yourself and your friends you really tried to make a difference, go ahead.
