My comment was only in regard to folks on here who attempt to discredit any conservative poster by simply saying “lol head back to the poli board”
Your overall statement about the internet causing polarization in politics is spot on
Now only if we could get a liberal to admit that they’re a liberal on here…

There you go. :cheers:

Well OP is using tigerdroppings, not Reddit, to show how social media splits reality. I know you are not the OP, but the minuscule size of tigerdroppings seems relevant in such a discussion.
I can't believe I need to explain this on a "college" message board but here we are:
A picture in a textbook is there to help explain the lesson, not become the lesson. If you stare at the picture arguing about what’s in it, you’ve missed what the chapter was about.
The image I used is the picture. The argument is the chapter. It doesn’t matter whether you like the picture. The point is what it was meant to illustrate.

I still think you may be selling a lot of people short assuming they come to one conclusion or not while dismissing the instinctive nature of self preservation which can graduate to for the better.
You are drastically overestimating the general public.

At the same time my surprise reveals how naive (or optimistic) I was since we wouldn't have reached this level of divisiveness in the first place if most people saw how they were being manipulated for financial gain. It's certainly disheartening.
I also think those of us who can see it (because most people legit cannot see it...they only think their side is right!) also have very diverse friends and therefore we get exposed to many more opinions than most people who almost live in a bubble, an echo chamber and are only around those who agree with them.

Damn
Okay

Damn
Okay

Why would I not expect a response?
You’re a damn good poster which made the lack of a response even more unusual

quote:Well, that was not long after I started the thread, and replies were still coming in pretty quickly. For the reasons I mentioned before, which in hindsight seem to have been mistaken assumptions on my part, I read and appreciated your comments but could only respond to so many. Unfortunately, yours got passed up. It wasn’t done to offend or dismiss. My apologies.

If you flesh out the part you’d like me to respond to further (I’m assuming it’s the liberal part, since that’s the only question), I’d be happy to give a more detailed reply.

Don’t be a smartass
I already said my piece and it’s not a shot at you
No one here admits being a liberal. It’s kinda incredible

That's what I assumed the first time which is why I said your post didn't seem like you were inviting a response. Because it seemed like you'd "already said your piece." Now when I tell you I'm sorry for assuming that was the case and invite you to discuss it further you respond by telling me I was right all along. You'd already "said your piece."
Now you seem to be bitching just to bitch. I already have a wife for this kind of shite.
