I think we've become intellectually lazy as a society and culture, and this is a part of it. They don't want examine nuance, because it takes them off their track and makes things too complicated. They don't want to take a moment to find words that more accurately describe something, so they just settle for silly hyperbole. They don't want to hold their own accountable, because they fear it may weaken their argument.It is, but they're absolutely serious. They're terrified. I don't know what to say to them.They really do think that it's Trump or communism. Seriously.
The only people they're convincing of this, of course, are each other.
This is so genuinely stupid...where are people coming up with this resurgence of the Red Scare? No one wants communism - we are all quite happy with capitalism thank you.
Dumbest thread ever designed to exploit divisions and fear monger.
It's bizarre...but my guess is....they've built up "Antifa" into this outsized bogeyman; emphasized Marxism in BLM and it is both easier to put a face to than the harder to define issues of law enforcement vs. racism, the overall economic downturn, the issue of covid, and worldwide unrest. A new "Red Scare" headed up by China as a leading actor, and Antifa and BLM and the "radical left" (which is all democrats) is an easier sell - after all, we've been through it before and we still have the same playbook in living memory.
Well, recognizing nuance, valuing accuracy and honestly admitting fault are three primary pillars of constructive adult communication.
So here we are.
There is very little nuance today.
Instead it is in-your-face media anti-Americanism and propaganda, lawlessness backed by the Dimm political class, and a minority mob attempting to instill fear in the pursuit of perpetual Marxist power.
I respect turban wearing Ihlan Omar more than you as at least she is out front and honest about toppling liberty and freedom.
You, on the other hand, are nothing more than a sneaky Marxist pig!!!
