Oh please, stop with semantics. Im talking about how people love doing all sorts of mental gymnastics just so they dont have to go for compromises and so they could have things their way.

Half of the time people that are identified as "conservatives" on the internet straight up refuse to participate in any kind of debate, and people who are ether moderates or left are tired of this shit. You cant just puke out your opinion out there and then when you get criticised for this opinion you go:"blah blah blah not listening you are a cooky libtard blah blah".

And im not saying it because i think that only internet "conservatives" are participating in such behaviour. Everyone does that. But only those "conservatives" always explicitly state that they are the rational ones, even though they are clearly not.

You either argue in a good faith or scream like a retard trying to promote your narrative. But if you do the second one dont expect people to take you seriously.

Oh, I remember you!

Before I write too much, so as to muddy the waters, what have I said that doesn't make sense to you, or where am I wrong specifically, then I can respond directly to that.

As it stands, I'm not sure what you're stating. I read the OP as pointing out how they're dividing and conquering; which I posted in regards to niche groups being exploited to marginalize the larger whole; at least that's what I meant.

I totally comprehend your left/right comment, and returned in kind. As close as I wanted to touch what you wrote; I'm neither left, or right, and don't care whatever anyone wants to label me.

On that note though, maybe there's no discussion here.

I dont see anything particular that is wrong, its just it isnt that related to the issue that im trying to bring up.

As it stands, I'm not sure what you're stating. I read the OP as pointing out how they're dividing and conquering;

I believe that no one is dividing nor conquering shit. Well there are some organisations (read:corporations, politicians) that sometimes try to gain some profits from all that drama but in its core i thing that conflict is created mostly by human nature.

Of course there is always some indirect influence from those said organizations, but it isnt as big and direct as you would think and i dont thing this influence wouldve been even noticeable if not for the fact that people in general are so unbelievably stupid.

Plus majority of people dont give a shit anyways. All those loud people you see on the social media is a minority.

I'm neither left, or right,

I dont really label you anything, nor do i care how you identify yourself. That is irrelevant to me. I only use labels to name a certain patterns for the sake of convenience.

I liked that post. I got your point, and agree human nature itself is flawed. On that note though, I do think there are generational families, groups, and lineage corporations that absolutely have the knowledge to control the minds of the masses, and do.

My main point though, we shouldn't allow ourselves to be subdivided, subjugated, or controlled, whether by outside wealthier oligarchs, or by our fellow people.

We do have a global private monopoly printing everyone's currency, and it's fiat. My point in mentioning this, is that everywhere I look there's abundance, but it's usually establishment owned. I have a problem with that, since they create money out of thin air to pay for their spoils, and at that exact moment of thievery, their deeds devalue any money anyone's got in pocket, wallet, or bank; which means that 'abundance' was just diminished, and after a few decades it's by a lot.

People are now fighting over resources due to this sort of shit, and daily those .001% of people masquerading as philanthropists, public servants, oligarchs, or feudal lords(royals) just get richer, and richer. That's not due to any form of government 'ism', but directly due to who controls what we call money, and who produces it.

Sorry for the reply, but I enjoyed the discussion you guys had. On the note of your last paragraph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEPYuA4SlQo

I hope Saidit stays this way (This thread was full of serious discussion, as well as memes/jokes, and no one really attacked each other for their beliefs. That was both rare and nice.)
