How Leftism Makes Us Stupid

You do understand that one-liners neither prove nor debunk anything, right?

Left wingers think that they are showing high moral character by "understanding" people who want to kill us all. It's a cheap way to build their own self esteem. Hate on America and hate on your own fellow citizens, puff out your chest and imagine how you are morally superior to all of them. Because "Allahu Akbar" isn't always a term shouted by losers in the middle of some act of nihilistic violence. That's just the way it turns out when those people shout it at US.

Meanwhile, understanding for the people who voted for Trump? Naw, there's nothing but hate in your heart for them. You'd rather lie about them and slander them all day long than spend a fraction of a second asking in good faith about the truth. Because for you them being fellow Americans isn't a good thing and no wise makes them good in the least.

Denounced by many but stopped by no one, the Trump administration has been an odd sort of juggernaut. Tearing down past policies and building up walls (both literally and figuratively), this administration has been a rush of drastic action. While most modern presidents have*tended*to define themselves by what they are creating, it would seem this president is most concerned with the opposite.*The "Trump doctrine" seems to be the reversal of the Obama legacy and anything seen as even mildly progressive. The eagerness of the current administration to reverse progress on multiple fronts raises questions about what exactly it is that we're witnessing and why. Every day under Trump feels much longer to exhausted dissenters,*and no one's quite sure where the nation is headed. The utter ridiculousness of the current presidential predicament has led some, even within the ranks of the ruling Republican Party, to distance themselves from the president, Presidents are powerful, but more powerful than them are capitalism's controllers,*working in the background,*directing for their interests. White supremacy, too, is a grounding undercurrent of this country's history and present-day functioning. If the Trump presidency concludes,*we will still be faced with a powerful system of oppressions. Until we*confront*the systems that enabled Donald Trump's rise to power, we'll always be at risk of seeing someone like him empowered again.

I don't have to prove or debunk your "false moral outrage anti-white racism" crappola. Ridicule is called for in this instance. I succeeded.

So you think snarky drive-by comments are an argument. Worse, you put words in my mouth and thus beat a straw man.

I totally did not see that coming.

Misinformation to herd people is a huge component of leftist political activism. Once I came to realize that, I abandoned leftism.

It appears you're doomed to buy BS. Left or right, you can't get enough. You didn't change, you just adopted a new tin hat and blinder set. I bet as a leftist you were a raging CT douche. True?
 
Stupid is believing that the American Foreign policy of fighting terrorism is working. It's actually the opposite. The amount of terrorists and those who will become terrorists has grown tenfold since 911. Go ahead America. Keep bombing the hell out of the middle East and shrug your shoulders when payback comes and you ask "Why us?"

As a recovered former radical leftist, I'd say the left takes advantage of youthful ignorance and steers it toward very destructive ends.

There's a reason that leftism is far more popular with the young than with the old, as I grew enough to abandon it in my early 30s due to the lack of moral consistency and intellectual honesty I found all over the political left. False moral outrage is a staple of leftism and liberalism as well as is anti-white racism, and I finally got to the point where the straw broke the camel's back. I was first disillusioned and gradually that turned into disdain.

Why do you continue to run away from this? Be proud and own up!

It's interesting how Lowdown can ask "Why do Liberals hate political discourse and resort to name calling and slander?" While having a thread titled: "How Leftism Makes Us Stupid."

It's interesting to me that a similar question from a left-leaning poster would get an infraction.

Perhaps the worst thing about having an exclusively leftist media is that it makes all of us, right and left, stupider.

I think he meant "more stupid." Anyway, nothing else he says makes anything close to a point about the subject he was trying to make.

The media is more careful about reporting on terror attacks by Muslims than they are terrorist attacks by white Christian men because the vast majority of the country is made up of white Christians, whereas only a tiny fraction is Muslim. Every time there is a terrorist attack carried out by one individual Muslim you see a whole bunch of racist rednecks retaliating by beating up muslims or vandalizing Mosques all across the country.

There is realistically no fear that a white Christian man shooting a bunch of innocent people Muslim or otherwise is going to result in a whole bunch of Muslims doing the same. They are so radically outnumbered that starting a race war like that would be suicidal.

When the reporting of facts may result in a bloody war taking great care to ensure the facts are accurate is absolutely necessary.
