Anyone else tired of the words "left", "right", "black", "white", "republican" and "democrat" appearing so much here? What do you think this is, Reddit?

submitted by Robin from (self.AskSaidIt)

Such polarising perspectives just further the interests of the few who are paid to pump them out. Even the 99% v. the 1% is a division which presupposes conflict.

As the fear mongers know, the vast majority of humans have consciences and actually like being kind and helpful to others, so let's strive to avoid the divide-and-conquer frames they are using to try to promote infighting...

Now that election season is in full swing and saidit is getting more traffic, I've noticed many more divisive and polarizing comments. Not saying they're all shills but there is definitely more astroturfing going on and it would be naive to think saidit and other reddit alternatives are not a target.

More precisely Das Juden, the old established Jewish elites.

Die Juden. In German at least. Proof: https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Jude

Or : Das jüdische Volk. But this one makes no sense with some deeper understanding because they aren't a ethnicity in this sense.

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

But Judaism is a strawman. It isn't the Jews. Jews who say "we are god's chosen people and goys are meant to be our cattle, or for the best of them, our slaves" think in terms of ETHNICITY, not religion. But of course they'll hide behind their religion when they as a people, are being pointed at. Exactly as in Callmesavior's absolutely truthful comment. Wait...

      I feel like the worst, most lying things, are neutral and balanced. Or think they are I mean. Like conservadems, neoliberals or neocons, or republicans like mitt romney. Would a far left person or a far right person support TPP, neither would I think tho their reasons may be different. I look at that chart at the far right and far left, need to check out patribiotics whatever that is. They consider gatewaypundit far right, ehh not really. Infowars ok maybe. But what is far right. Do they think that means nazis. Boogie men like that? Is Trump the farthest right person ever? Is an odd chart. Wikispooks yeah they're alright, that chart is made by ad fontes though. A media watchdog group that is biased themselves. It's interesting they label the rothschilds as neutral. Might be symbolism. In terms of their federal reserve never being effected by politicis, as presidents have no control over it, it's true. That is the neutral, constant, x factor. They let politicians play in a sandbox on other issues.

      You do realize that article is critical of the "Polarising perspective", don't you?

      You do realize that "Polarising perspective" article is pointing out that the official narrative represents fallacious binary thinking, don't you?

      What makes you think WikiSpooks made that chart I've already seen a million times?

      What makes you think the chart is not accurate in the official narrative view?

      What makes you think one bad (in your opinion) article is representative of an entire site?

      If you can improve WikiSpooks, I'm quite sure that /u/Robin would be happy to have you join as a contributing editor.

              It's a backlash against the heavily enforced and overt censorship of 'right' wing or conservative views.

              You are entirely correct though.

              yeah if one is liberal, unless a far left liberal, why go here, why not go to reddit where you will never be censored and it is more active. Us bernie supporters were banned from reddit back in 2016 and might be here tho.

              [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

              I feel sorry for bernie bros. Supporting a man with shit ideas who never even meant to impliment them and is a willing pawn of the democratic party has got to be painfull.

              true, got played, had illusion of choice I guess. Like I said that was a while ago back in 2016. Got banned from reddit for saying Hillary was corrupt.

              [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

              That's reddit for you. Ive banned too many times to count. Finally deleted my current account when the new racist TOS dropped. I encourage you to check out bernie's interview about the nicaraguan healthcare system. "It sucks but it's free." As in a shittily implimented form of socialism is preferred to a better functioning capitalistic system simply because "socialism good."

              Actually our healthcare is topnotch. It's the health insurance part that is terrible. They aren't the same thing you know. Guatemalan healthcare is ass and it being free is meaningless. If you are advocating for more access for people to our healthcare system (providing they are citizens of this country) then we are in agreement, on that point.

              Yes, we know they are puppets on the right with Jews pulling the strings and the same Jews pulling the strings on the left.

              If you must talk about these concepts, you could use quotes to indicate your scepticism. Better still avoid talking about them altogether. It's not always easy to avoid them, but like avoiding enemy images I've found it to be worth the effort.

              [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

              Avoid talking about them? Yeah, we'll just shut up and NOT talk about the truth wherever we go.

              [–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

              I'm a little confused by that too. IMO, 100% transparency is called for, including calling out the corrupt concepts.

              IMO, a more accurate term is Zionists than Jews.

              [–]hennaojichan 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

              Yes, we talked about that before but sometimes I slip up. Most of them aren't really Jews but Ashkenazis. I'm sure you know that.

              [–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

              But so many aren't even Jewish (ie. Biden and Trump). There are more Christian Zionists than Jewish Zionists though the top spots are primarily Jewish. IMO, it's always more accurate and better to blame "the Zionists". It's a blanket that covers all the evil and can only be mistaken for anti-Semitism by those who don't know there's a difference, much less a distinction between Eastern Europeans and Semites.

              It might be because there's actually a lot of different views on here. Correctly a lack of shared political leanings requires labeling who you are talking about in the conversation. I can't prove this is the case, but I think it's certainly a possibility.
