In the recent past many blacks felt white America considered them inelegant or unintellectual. Many working-class whites felt and feel the same about themselves. At present, liberals are inventing new prejudices against lower-class whites. “It is now almost mandatory to hate deplorables.”

Personal insults aren't arguments.

The issue that we are discussing is that leftists have a blindness when it comes to seeing conservative values. Something illustrated quite nicely by this comment chain where you do nothing but get angry and hurl insults.

I'll ask again... does this stuff ever work?

It does when you deal with people who agree on facts, reason, and Enlightenment values. Something the SJW left rejects in favor of lived experience and the very idea of objective truth, like 2+2=5.

Personal insults aren't arguments.

So why do you do it?

Are you gonna provide that evidence you mentioned that conservatives don't lie like rugs or not? Pretty clearly not I guess. You're gonna keep pimping the same stories claiming to be misunderstood and oppressed and suffering insults while misunderstanding and trying to oppress and insult.

It's due to the lack of understanding of values, like I said. Of course you're going to say conservatives lie. "We need borders" and "we need to take care of our own people first before we help others" and "2+2=4 and it will always be thus" are conservative values that leftists simply do not understand (unless they independently re-invent them on their own on the leftist commune) so of course you're going to say they're lies.

It's been said that people don't have ideologies, ideologies have people. I feel like that right now. I'm not talking to someone who wants to learn something or gain more knowledge about the world, I'm talking to someone who just wants to recapitulate his or her ideology and is not interested in a discussion - exactly what is predicted about adherents to Critical Social Justice Theory.

Say, what's 2+2?

You are demonstrating that conservatives lie, that conservatives project, that you call the kettle black. You said you had evidence that you refuse to produce... because you don't, and you didn't. You accuse me of trying to change the subject as you try everything possible to move the discussion away from that simple fact. You accuse leftists of misunderstanding conservatives while repeatedly demonstrating that you are not talking to who you assume, and insist, that you are. You insult me and claim that I am insulting you. You repeat your favorite line over and over because you think you lose less when you don't diverge from that one trick.

I presented the clear and convincing evidence that leftists are totally unaware of what conservative values are. So what are they? Do you seriously think lying is a conservative value? You're precisely who the research is talking about.

You're straw manning and trying to change the subject. Do I think lying is a value at all for anyone? Of course not. Smoke and mirrors.
