No matter what format you would present information to them in,
if they didn't like the message, they will always 'shoot the messenger.'

You know its true !






And intellectuals don't 'care' to listen to anything, to any idea, which they disagree with ideologically.

You know its true !

"The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it."

"England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality."

"I consider that willingness to criticize Russia and Stalin is the test of intellectual honesty."

"Nothing is gained by teaching a parrot a new word. What is needed is the right to print what one believes to be true, without having to fear bullying or blackmail from any side."

ideology vs. truth


"To admit that an opponent might be both honest and intelligent is felt to be intolerable.
It is more immediately satisfying to shout that he is a fool or a scoundrel, or both, than to find out what he is really like."
- George Orwell


"Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist.
This is elementary common sense.
If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other.
Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one.
In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me."
- George Orwell.

Yadda is a white supremacist, far right, racist wannabe. Who is surprised?

I agree, Rich. We're all friends here.

Longy should be reflective, just like you.

I grew up in Sydney, dear. You?

When you subsidize something you get more of it, just see the failures of utopia California.

Another feature of living where I live would have to be the homeless, the insane and the drug addicts that wander this particular neighborhood.  The authorities estimate that there are more than 1100 homeless in and around my part of town but unless you too live in such a neighborhood, it can be hard to imagine so I’ll do my best to explain.  Please humor me while I tell you what that looks like from ground zero.

As I wait for my morning coffee to brew, I can see the more industrious homeless pushing or pulling their junk carts from under the overpass where they spent the night.  During the day, these guys will scoop up anything of value that is not nailed down.  Others that I can see have their signs and will go panhandle where the tourists must exit the freeway.

Yadda, you keep talking about socialism.  This is how those you're getting your information from have decided is an effective way to attack Sanders.

Given that it's working on you, they're probably right.

But Sanders isn't advocating for socialism.

Medicare for all is not socialism.  A livable wage for all is not socialism.  Even closing loopholes so people and corporations pay the level of taxaition they're already expected to isn't socialism.

Do you even know what socialism is?

Sanders is a capitalist.

All he is suggesting is that some of the taxation raised via the capitalist US Economy go towards ensuring people don't have to lose their house, everything they own and have to declare bankruptcy just to pay their healthcare bills or are even able to attend college without incurring the levels of debt that will prevent them from ever being able to own a house to lose when their healthcare bills come in, or even attend college at all. 

That's not socialism.  It's universal healthcare.

The reason you're linking it with Socialism is that, like "Global Warming" was replaced with "Climate Change" because people were arguing that "It's snowing, so much for global warming", those lobby groups who have a vested interest in healthcare being about generating profits rather than patient healthcare and positive outcomes, they rebranded "Universal Healthcare" to "Socialised Healthcare" and since it's got the word "social" in it, it's a simple hop over to accusing anyone who floats the idea of being a socialist and then the tards you get your information from are now painting the entire Democratic party as Socialists who want to turn the US into a third world country.

You've basically being manipulated into supporting policies and ideology that exploit you to profit others, the ones manipulating you.

It's actually quite genius in its implementation, but it shows how backwards and ignorant humans can still be, despite how far we've come from our cave-dwelling days.

Or perhaps it's the lack of decent education which is why it's more of a problem in the US and in increasing problem closer to home as both countries slide lower and lower on the world stage of education outcomes.
