I have to agree with you. It’s pointless most of the time.
The political discussion is only fruitful when you find people who are on the fence and undecided (truly undecided). I’ve had success with those people.
Most liberals only get angry with you and not matter how many times you make valid points they only seem to grow in the hate for you. There are a few people I can think of that loath me simply because they lost exchanges with me.
Anwar Al-Awlaki’s teenage son, killed in a drone strike in 2011. Al-Awlaki himself, also a US citizen I believe, was killed in a drone strike a few days earlier.
“Serious question. What do we do with libholes? I have tried my best to educate them. They just do not get it. I have no idea what to do when CWII happens.”
Neither will they. Since most of ‘em are “gun free”, you don’t have to worry about them firing back.
The leftists believe that if it comes down to brass (ammo, not tacks), they can rely on the military and the police to do the shooting for them per their bidding.
Some will.
Others won’t.
The proportion of the latter vs. the former will probably determine the outcome.
We shall see.
“Night” provides a little clarity on social groupthink and how we are conditioned to resist our instincts when they warn of danger.
That is a great book. Coincidentally, I hear Elie Wiesel was spat upon when he visited Germany a few years back. Can you believe that?
Actually, Hitler gained a lot of inspiration from what he saw Stalin doing in the Soviet Union.
Ever heard of Claire Wolfe?
I had not till now, but it looks like I have some reading to catch up on ;-) Thanks!
‘Tis an honour and a pleasure to be of assistance.
