Why is it so hard to keep snide political comments out of unrelated content?

Radical leftists are deranged. I don't know of any other explanation.

It shouldn't surprise you. To progressives, politics IS life. There is nothing more important than politics, and every aspect of their daily lives is filtered through it.

I mentioned this on another post. Leftists use cliches and talking points to avoid logical argumentation. They're too stupid for critical thought.

It's a way to foment consensus, and to weed out those who aren't in with the program.

We see this example in one of Stalin's addresses to the Party:

quote:

The applause went on—six, seven, eight minutes! They were done for! Their goose was cooked! They couldn’t stop now till they collapsed with heart attacks! At the rear of the hall, which was crowded, they could of course cheat a bit, clap less frequently, less vigorously, not so eagerly…Nine minutes! Ten!…Insanity! To the last man! With make-believe enthusiasm on their faces, looking at each other with faint hope, the district leaders were just going to go on and on applauding till they fell where they stood, till they were carried out of the hall on stretchers.


quote:

At last, after eleven minutes of non-stop clapping, the director of a paper factory finally decided enough was enough. He stopped clapping and sat down—a miracle! “To a man, everyone else stopped dead and sat down,”


quote:

That same night, the director of the paper factory was arrested and sent to prison for ten years. Authorities came up with some official reason for his sentence, but during his interrogation, he was told: “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!”

Generally speaking leftists are a lot like women in that they lack a sense of self-accountability.

They are always looking to blame someone else for their own flaws and failings.

It's religion for many of them. Explains their reactions when their ideas are challenged.

When you consider that the DeVos family is the country's number scam artists in MLM you shouldn't be too surprised. My guess is that the MLM industry is pretty conservative.

I'm listening to this podcast called "The Dream" about the MLM industry. It's pretty interesting, but the hosts have made me hate them because of their snide, out of place, lefty political comments.

Some examples:
In discussing the potential of success, the female host says something like, "yea, if you're a white male."

In discussing the death of a MLM founder who died in an accident flying a P-51 Mustang which was his hobby, the hosts laughed and called it "typical WPP" (white people problems)

There are numerous jabs at Trump throughout the show


Well this is just dumb to do because one would assume they would like to market to as large a client base as possible.

I wouldn't stand in front of people I was pitching to and hit them with a barrage of anti-left stuff cause.........still stupid.
