Indeed - fuck facts.

Continue to spread lies, especially because you should not have to understand what you post.

If it looks like, sounds like, and smells like MAGAturds, all is well.

Is everyone a science-denier and MAGAturd to you?

Half the people on this site are science-deniers and MAGAtards, yes. Both when I was in the military and now that I'm going to school I've always been surrounded by science-minded people, and as a result I haven't run into an open young-earth creationist in about a decade. Yet they are everywhere here. The frontpage is usually dominated by a mix of conspiracies, shitty memes, and right-wing fake news.

It's not "everyone". Just "everyone" on this site.

Ah, that's hilarious. People in the military being educated. Well, my friend, you haven't had the same experience I had. What are you even doing here, government-dog?

In the Air Force at least, the mid-level NCOs tend to have 2-year degrees. The Senior NCOs tend to move up to a Bachelors. To be any kind of Officer, you need a Bachelors, and that needs to become a Masters if you want to make Major. So with the exception of the Junior Enlisted which usually only have diplomas, they are actually fairly educated.

It is highly amusing - though not at all surprising - that you didn't know anything about the topic, but didn't let that stop you from running your mouth. About what I've come to expect from most of the tards on Saidit.

"Tards." This is what I expect from eight graders, and folks who've spent time in the military without washing themselves clean of all that brainwashing.

Mm. The military is overwhelmingly filled with noncoms, uneducated brainwashed bumpkins, unless I am wrong concerning how many useless desk jobs there are in the States.

I'm going to school

Social justice?

I would suggest you actually spend time doing your "studies" instead of trolling forums, demonstrating your youthful inexperience.

Engineering. Come on, I said I've always been surrounded by science-minded people; that should have given you a hint. Grievance scholars only respect the science when it supports their political agenda.

I've rarely met a military type that could grasp divergent or abstract thinking. Just wired different. I don't know if it's a chicken or egg thing where those types gravitate to being told what to do and think or if the military drills that mental capacity out of them.

I believe it. The social connections you make are gonna tend to be with your equals. Smart people tend to network with other smart people, and average people...

[–]Velocity 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (6 children)

Thereby, you network with military minded people who have been conditioned to not question authority. Creating a confirmation bubble around yourself. I employ a fair amount of ex military design engineers...while usually they show up on time, they definitely struggle with creativity and innovation.

That's fine, we call them cogs...they don't question, they do what they're told. Good cog wheels in my business machine.

Lol. Maybe I'm getting you confused with a different right-wing tard, but I seem to recall you were the one that claimed COVID-19 was just the flu sometime during the summer. Not a conclusion one should come to if they possess any real critical critical thinking skills. You are just as dumb as the rest of them, and seniority doesn't change that.

And on a side note, it is highly amusing that you accuse me, a left-leaning guy that is very pro-science and that chooses to hang out on a site dominated by right-leaning and/or conspiracy-minded folks, of wrapping myself in a confirmation bubble, and are doing so while you yourself are choosing to spend time on said site, where you happen to fit right in. And you are doing so without any apparent shred of self-awareness.

It's all very highly amusing. Very highly. The only place I'm on is Saidit? I news aggregate and collect common consensus across a range of outlets. I don't limit myself to possibilities and viewpoints. You are unable to approach a topic with an open mind by dissolving assumed boundaries to be able to more fully comprehend a disputed subject.

Much assumption with you. I sense that you are beholden more towards arrogance than being intellectual.

People like you work for people like me. Get to work cog.

Ps...Waiting for your smug remark, because everyone including your family knows you have to get the last word in to prove to everyone how right and smart you are. Tiresome. Grow up.

Then leave instead of bawling

Indeed - I think I can count perhaps 6 users who are mainly responsible for this trend of propaganda. It seems Saidit is one of the places where a right-wing enthusiast can spread misinformation and disinformation, get plenty of attention, and thereby feel self-affirmed. But it's also interesting to see that there are quite a few users here who occasionally let those 6 know that they're wrong. I think there would be more engagement at this site if there were more of a mix of posts. My reason for joining Saidit is mainly curiosity about the group of people who believe in right-wing conspiracies. I'd rather avoid Parler and TheDonald. Saidit seems to parrot some of that material.

What is interesting is that a lot of users here hate Donald Trump and are mostly moderates. The main threads do seem to come from Trumpists though, but that's not always true. u/FediNetizen has made plenty of posts which generate conversation, and that dude is super-establishment.

Saidit is such an 'interesting' place

    Really? Me? So much power I have?

    I think more of the shit you parrot. You have no power, ol' dirty socks

    I'm anything but MAGA. Seems like you're misinformed again. Fuck your corporatocracy facts.

    The Matrix creators love that book. Ironic that they stole the script.
