What's with all the anti-Jewish stuff on this site? I can understand being anti-Israel or anti-government or anti-media, etc.

When I bother to argue I use facts, reasoning, and data. In my experience nobody else did, except slanted as bad as creationists or flat earthers. Cherrypicking studies they've never actually read. So when I read them, and more, and proceeded to thoroughly debunk correlational nonsense like Putnam's "bowling alone", nobody ever changed their minds. Ideological extremists don't care about facts. They have conclusions they work toward and use "facts" as ammunition to bolster those conclusions. Same thing communists do, same thing creationists do, same thing feminists do.

So maybe, just maybe, a certain kind of person is just a shit human being? Crazy idea, I know.

And yet you cited no evidence or facts.

Correlational nonsense like "Bowling Alone"? That was an oddly specific reference. Why do I get the distinct impression that you aren't amenable to contrary opinion and you frequently confuse your opinions with facts?

The dead giveaway was calling people who disagree with you "shit human beings". This is dehumanizing. You don't just disagree with people, you think they're evil.

You asked me about my experience, pejoratively, by implying I simply suck. When I offer an example of misused research, and indicate I have further experience in broader arguments with other kinds of extremists, you continue insulting me. What's the new saying these days? Oh, right: "You get what you fucking deserve". The best part is when I specifically state some people are just shit human beings, you assume I must just be applying this label broadly to all people I disagree with. If you think you're embodying some principle of charity in discourse, hahaha, oh man, you're lost.

So where's your evidence?

You called other people shit human beings. That's dehumanizing. Surely one skilled at arguments knows where dehumanization leads.

And if you do know, why are you doing it? You're just as bad as those you hate.

All of this makes me think you suck at arguing and persuasion. That's why nobody ever came around to your point of view.

You're really bad at trolling. I explain exactly how you're being dishonest about my statements, you just repeat them without modification. I decline to waste more time on you.

Dehumanizing any human is wrong. But apparently it's OK as long as they disagree with you and your awful/nonexistent persuasion skills fail.

Could you show us some evidence of these threads where you argue with these so-called extremists? I'd like to see with my own eyes, and everyone else would too.
