Just watched THE SOCIAL DILEMMA and now realize why many of the good people that I know have such diametrically opposing perspectives

You may be right- although the points made in the doc are the best explanation I’ve seen for the division we’re in today.

Wrong source. The big sources of the hate are the political parties. Because the only thing they’re loyal to is the party, they don’t care what it does to the country. So they make sure their “faithful” are always ginned up with anger and hate for their “enemies”. The only solution is to ban political parties.

Wow wrong from the first sentence. Thus showing how useless it is. Drug dealers don’t call their customers users, they usually call them scumbags. And most software isn’t sold to the user, they’re sold to the user’s company. So the users aren’t the customer. Yet another junk “everything is horrible” documentary.

Well that’s just not true. You can still be brainwashed while ignoring mass media. You’re just brainwashed by the last time you listened. Or by the “honest we’re not mass media” mass media that you’re still consuming, but they’ve brainwashed you into thinking you’re not.

The simple fact of the matter is humans exist to be brainwashed. We ALL are. The only difference is are you aware enough to understand that, and choose your shampoo wisely.

Agreed. Everyone should believe nothing that any media company is selling. Now, how many useful idiots on both sides are actually going to do that?

Just from your postings here on this thread, I see that you believe my "extreme perspectives" of hating the arsonist for burning down my house because me hating is equivalent to the arson.

Sorry, I don't trust your perspective.

hate is a hot burning emotion that turns off your higher brain functions. That’s why propagandists like to push you towards it. Hate makes you dumb and malleable. Avoid it.

No. The disagreement is monetized. The disagreement has been there since the Dems and GOP took over and decided the one thing they agreed on was there would be no competition. The disagreement has been this volatile before. And will be again. Social media is just another tool in their chests.

For everybody. It’s a basic chemical reaction. Thinking you’re above it just makes you dumber and more malleable.

Oh look repeating yourself. Doesn’t make you right. Actually shows how wrong you are. Sorry to be the one to inform you. But you can fix it. Stop hating. Learn to be smart.

Don’t need advice from a hater.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Dude. Are you actually that stupid?! You’re the hater, you said so yourself. I’m explaining why hate is a bad idea. And your defense is you (the admitted hater) don’t need advice from a hater (which would be not me)?! Damn. Yup. You are the perfect living example of everything I’ve said. You bought into their BS, you hate all the “right” people, and because of that you’re dumb as a post. Sad. But hilarious.

Turn up the brightness on your monitor. It’s too reflective. I’m not hating anything. Not you. I feel pity for you. You’re the one who says you hate.
