An ounce of truth is worth a pound of propaganda. That is why the left is so militant with censorship. That is why they refuse to debate with retarded excuses like: I won't give them/those ideas a platform.

I got into an argument recently with someone, and when I explained to them why I left the Democratic party and presented my reasons and proof thereof, their comeback was that the Republicans were just really good at propaganda and dismissed everything I said. I WAS USING QUOTES, IDEOLOGIES, AND LAW PROPOSALS COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

I had nothing left to say after that, what can you say?

Yeah, it's explained at the end of this article.

If you just believe everyone who disagrees with you is lying or has ulterior motives you can just ignore everything they say.

Everyone needs to be careful of falling into that trap.

Especially when debating the left because some of the things they really believe are just ridiculous.

Labeling everything a "grifter" seems to be popular with them these days too.

Apparently, any conservative pundit making their living analyzing news is only doing it for money. But everyone on MSNBC is feeding you propaganda pro bono.

For Brits: https://counterweightsupport.com/2021/07/25/labours-loves-lost-why-i-left-the-party/

My email to the party resigning my membership was acknowledged, with a polite request for an explanation. I obliged with a shorter version of the reasoning I have given here.

Where am I now? Do I still consider myself to be ‘on the left’? Possibly I do, but more important than my position on the left-right spectrum is my adherence to liberalism in a general sense. A liberal is one who believes in reason, progress, the scientific method and debate. We believe the truth is ‘out there’ and will never accept the quasi-religious determinism of the mixture of bastardised Marxist and postmodern philosophy that underlies Critical Social Justice.

This is true, But Ben Shapiro is a grifter and is a Zionist, which he promotes on his channel.

"Oh no, my mom didn't blindly accept my baseless smear of Shapiro and instead went and listened to him herself. Doesn't she know he's nothing but a grifter!??!!?!? I hope she still gives me my allowance this month."

If she thinks he’s convincing, just wait till Jordan Peterson pops up in her feed

If your ideology is being erased by Ben Shapiro, it probably wasn't a strong ideology in the first place.
