We’re not the arbiters of truth.
And yet are able to dictate what is socially acceptable as truth, and the set narrative. If the dems define something as truth, how dare someone speak against it?! They must be silenced! Their speech must be corrected to follow the true belief!
However, Republicans, unfortunately, seem to have abdicated en masse any respect for the truth at all. Every day I read the news or come here and have one TrumpFan after another feeding me some easily-falsifiable nonsense that, at best, demonstrates how little effort that person has put into verifying their perceptions, and quite often (depending on the person), how little they care to be accurate so long as their delusion provides them with a sense of “winning” or “pwning the libs”. I don’t have a high opinion of Democrats - and tbh, I’m not confident they won’t go down the same path eventually- but at least right now, the Republican party is a mindbogglingly vapid cesspool where virtue is scorned and all manner of human failings are celebrated.
What is voldemort even implicated for? Who is he, and what role has he played in current ongoing investigations, the impeachment, and current political realm?
Do you even know?? Because to quote you:
"another (person) feeding me some easily-falsifiable nonsense that, at best, demonstrates how little effort that person has put into verifying their perceptions, and quite often (depending on the person), how little they care to be accurate so long as their delusion provides them with a sense of winning”
I would argue that a great number go even beyond pushing falsehoods and engage in behavior that would qualify as psychologically abusive. And that’s kinda where I start getting angry.
Then you understand my own ire. We both hold the same perceptions, one of another.
I don’t give two hoots about who is and isn’t legally prohibited from outing this guy. What I care about is the principal of all of it.
That is apparent. I am pointing out Democrats will silence speech of another to afford them selves that 'principle'.
Instead of debate, just label it a wacky conspiracy, and silence it outright. Through all of society. literally, controlling all 'speech', written or verbal in all forms of media, even on the world wide web. A complete, and total world wide censorship. How did the Dems even get such power? And by your own admission, not caring if it is legal or not either. All that is cared about is it offends some sensibilities held to, and how it must be made to conform to those emotions, or silenced.
Want to discuss a 1984 Orwellian society? Take a look at what power democrats suppose themselves to weild.
We have whistleblower protections (as weak as they are) for a reason - we WANT people to speak up when they see something wrong. We WANT people in positions of power to be held accountable. What you all are doing undermines all of that. It shouts to every peon who sees something that they’re on their own, that they oughta shut up and look the other way while the crooks just go on being crooked. And for what? So you can help save face of a babbling narcissist who’d sell you out in a heartbeat if he thought it’d make him a buck?
This 'whistleblower' is protected for a reason all right.....
Do you even know why?
No, I’m not going to get over myself.
That is to be expected.
We may not be the arbiters of truth, but neither are you, and these cockamamie conspiracies conjured deep in the bowels of the internet don’t magically become true just because they comport to your preferred narrative.
Neither are they false even tho an army of 'fact checkers' twist meanings, and set narratives all the while speech is censored to quel rebuttals, and hide inconvenient truths.
If you’re wrong, you’re wrong. The solution to that is not to complain about the people pointing out your errors, but to just stop being wrong.
I like this. 'If you would just agree with me you would no longer be wrong'. Gave me a chuckle.
You may not recognize it, but I do.
Don't even get me started.
