Boyle5150 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 5 minutes ago, Greatoneshere said: The problem is you admit you might not know enough about these things ("you may very well be right" or "working on wokeness"), but you come into threads and say outrageous things. A person who knows they don't know much about something either reads up on it first so they have some foothold or they ask questions. I disagree with plenty of people on plenty of topics here all the time, just ask @mclumber1 or @sblfilms but we understand each other and hear each other out. They don't instigate or bait me, they discuss in good faith from a different position they genuinely hold that still has merit. You say inflammatory things like: "wearing a MAGA hat at an anti-abortion rally" is the same thing as Muslims wearing traditional Muslim garb. It's so gobsmackingly stupid to say that to even put forth the point, and then try to defend it, and then entrench yourself further, all the while now implying you are "working on your wokeness" makes you an almost malicious person. Either shut the fuck up or learn first or frame your points of views as questions if you are unsure. For instance: "is wearing a MAGA hat at an anti-abortion rally when you are a young white male the same thing as any and all kinds of Muslims just wearing traditional Muslim garb the same?" All of us would calmly and happily explained the point to you. But not you. Not ever you. You have to take the wildest and most ignorant positions and then push them. You, to me now, come off like OhioGuy or HeyYouDVD or Dodger or Alien-Gunner. I didn't think you were like them but if all you are interested in is baiting and then not listening as you entrench yourself further in your terrible, backwards, anachronistic views on things, then yeah, I'm not interested because there's no way to communicate anything to you. Seems you misunderstood me. My point is that you can't simply judge a bunch of kids because they are simply wearing a MAGA hat (which means different things to different people (even though there are people who wear that hat and hold the despicable views as one would assume they would)) the same way that you can't judge Muslims based on the clothes they wear or what horrible ideas Islam holds, as they might not hold those same views. Are they the same? NO, but you can hopefully see why you should treat them blind hatred and disdain based on the lack of information you have about them. Treat them (all people) kindly and compassionately unless their actions do otherwise. I never once claimed to not be wrong on any given subject, and will always do my best to learn from the times I am wrong. I will also try to be as charitable in my understanding of what you and anyone else says in regards to any of your positions you may hold.

No, you never once claimed to not be wrong, you just keep hammering home the same talking points without efficacy. And no, if you wear a MAGA hat, unless it's ironic, you are implying you hold the views the hat symbolizes. End of story. Unless there's something about MAGA viewpoints that I'm missing?

I never said the hat represented one view, I find all MAGA hat wearing views truly worthy of outrage. Which "view" does a MAGA hat wearer have that's even somewhat tolerable? Asking genuinely.

Their version of the 2nd amendment is as reprehensible as their views on everything else, and one view does not make it okay to wear a hat that they know endorses far more than that. 15 minutes ago, Boyle5150 said: This is how you define bias How so?

It's very hard to have a conversation when things like this go unchecked in the CEB. This is where your cognitive dissonance kicks in. "Every Republican still supports Trump" This is a 100% false accusation. There are a lot of Republicans who don't support Trump. Just like there were a lot of Democrats who didn't support Hillary. (Just so we're clear, I voted for Hillary). "... and thus, is insane and alt-right" Again, this is also false, in the same way as above. Talk about extreme.

So no, not that extreme. And obviously I'm speaking with hyperbole, but only just. Does it really matter if they only vote with Trump 94% of the time vs. 100% of the time? C'mon now.

Boyle5150 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Maybe it's just your use of absolutes that bothers me? If you said "a majority" or hell even "a vast majority" I think we would be in agreement. And maybe I have a hard time judging people on their assumed-perspective, rather than their literal ones and actions. I will chalk that up to being one of my (many) faults, or if you rather, my own ignorance. If people want to call me a troll or a bad faith debater, then so be it.

Guest Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 You guys I think you may have an incorrect understanding of what the alt-right is, @Greatoneshere, which is understandable given that it’s a slightly ambiguous sub-group. Ben Shapiro is decidedly not invited to the alt-right party, and Ben Shapiro represents what seems to me to be the most mainstream of Republican views.
