You know, people would be more receptive to you if you wouldn't talk down on them. I mean, for gods' sakes, parent specifically partially agreed with you(!) and yet you *still* talked down to them.

  • "Partially agreeing" while baselessly denying the central point is what exactly in your book?

    You fall for rhetoric tricks at your own expense here. This matter has a host of important consequences and implications. Treating it at the same level of effort as every other infotainment piece is a failure of judgement.

    • >"Partially agreeing" while baselessly denying the central point is what exactly in your book?

      It means partially agreeing, and quite respectfully, I might add. You, however, were only *dis*respectful, downright rude in fact.

      >Treating it at the same level of effort as every other infotainment piece is a failure of judgement.

      I'm not treating anything as the same as any level of effort. All I'm saying is if you act like a dick, people will be much less likely to give you any attention, even if something you say is correct.

Is there somewhere I can read more about what you are claiming in these comments? How did you learn about these housecleaning activities?

  • Of course there is, but what difficulties can you possibly have finding it?

    Part of the problem with events like these is people's "incredulity", which is fundamentally rooted in them not being force-fed with the topic by the media despite the importance.

    The other way around, while people baselessly believe to be told everything of importance by their news-feed, in reality they are entirely being left in the dark about truly important matters simply by not "pushing" them in headlines.

    The stories exist, you simply don't get them effortlessly.

    That attitude of passive complacency has to change.

    Look in this thread, the good links are usually those far down.

    • I want to read your original claim but it was censored. I am aware of the IC community being active on these forums and using algorithm/actors to downvote and hide information.

      Would you share it again here or send it via DM?

      Sorry you’ve had to face this.

  • I’m not him, but I did see this post after his post was censored via [FLAGGED]

    I have first hand experience being targeted by the CIA after negatively criticizing them and having a former clearance (Pakistani American also, we know how the brass feels about Muslims in terms of racism and the like).

    Curious if you’ve heard of the documentary everything is a rich man’s trick and the author who published it spent a lot of effort investigating for it. There’s probably content you can read from him. Do you trust that sort of information?
