The problem is you people keep getting away with pushing blatantly false and misleading information that is damaging to people's lives and livelihood and the only thing worse than this being condoned is not only do you don't care about those you hurt but you pretend you're pushing it BECAUSE you care.
And sadly, there is no answer about what to do about it.
If it's ignored, it goes unopposed and vibrates through echo chambers and ends up red pilling a bunch of susceptible people and if it goes opposed it only adds oxygen to the dumpster fire that you people are.
At least there is a clear pathway to deal with the racism here.
so you are a lot smarter then the danish government.
please explain how one of the most secular and progressive governments of one of the most successful countries is "red pilling a bunch of susceptable people"
you just get anxious when anyone threatens your totalitarian smug authority .
i think the danish government are more likely to be honest then pfizer.
Scoot, everything from your thoughts on women, to masculinity, Trump, COVID, the environment and climate change are all on the wrong side of the truth, practically every time.
Not everything you say is a lie, but every conclusion you draw is to support an opinion you hold even if the counter is supported by the facts.
Every time, every single time I take the time and effort to engage with you in a legitimate discussion and fully cite everything I've put forward, include all the bits you left out with your cherry-picking, all you do is double down and pretend none of it matters or try for some silly debate tactic as if there is an adjudicator who can change what is real if you spin a compelling lie well enough.
There are times we have agreed on things but even then you still go on the offensive as if I've not agreed enough.
What's the point?
And don't get me started about your goal post changes... I've seen them moved left and right but sometimes you've gone cross code and moved a soccer goal into a swimming pool in place of a water polo goal.
I've wondered over the years why you do it. Plenty of things come to mind but nothing makes you look good.
The most likely, and most tragic would be that you are in fact an outcast in your own family, in your own circles that you need these victories online, real or imagined, to prevent a depression spiral that may lead to you just being another statistic. As if your literal life depends on you finally having a win and being right because nobody else around you buys or even has time for your bullshit.
And you always do it in a way that paints all your weaknesses as a strength.
Are we, and is OzPolitic your form of therapy?
Newsflash, if so, you're only running from your problems. You're not analysing yourself and your views at all, you're simply trying to justify them via any means possible.
And now you're gone full blown antivaxx...
We've probably all got an uncle like you, that one that nobody wants to invite but has to, because "family", that says vastly inappropriate things to the young kids at the party and finds a way to bring up Trump, Climate Change or whatever the flavour of the month COVID Conspiracy they've latched onto around the dinner table. The one that was asked to wear a mask during the peak of our outbreak before vaccines were available and couldn't understand why everyone around them were shills and paid to disagree with him.
I've sadly got an uncle and sibling like that. But I'm an adult and I can pick and choose who is in my family.
I've been away from here for a few weeks and in such a short time there is a noticeable difference in how bad things are.
And you've had a massive decline over the years. There used to be an ability to discuss things with you, but now, it's just easier to treat you how most of those like you treat everyone else here.
Opposing views are important, more important than most people realise. But there is a line where things used to stay in the Fringe that has become mainstream here now.
It's quite sad how some people can pick and choose their reality when it should speak for itself.
Opinions should always be guided by the facts, but you champion the notion that if a fact doesn't support your opinion it can be ignored or dismissed.
There's really no point in trying to engage with those like you in a meaningful way, you just abuse it anyway.
