Everybody should look up why they’re wrong about their political beliefs

[navid93]

Imagine how much better the world would be if everybody did research on why theyre wrong. Srs.

Liberal or conservative. Whether it’s climate change, minimum wage, guns, immigration, drugs, universal healthcare, student loan forgiveness, masks.

Go on google and type in why the opposite of what you believe is correct and do at least an hour of research on it.

Instead everybody goes on to www.imright.com and yells “see I was right”

[KingNothing95]

Moderate politics doesn't exist anymore, you're either an alt right fascist or a communist. No in between

Askjeeves

[tnel00]

No

Im right

[JayJ350]

A good way to summarize: if you are on the Biden/MSM side, you are on the wrong side of history.

[AccountingMajor]

Am conservative and can disagree with conservatives on certain topics like banning salary history questions and people who think all college is a scam.

[PISTELERO]

It's well known that every liberal talking point can be debunked by facts and common Sense, these people chop their own wieners off for fun, they don't care about good sense

I do that. I seek the opposite view. It helps me reinforce my own arguments and also highlights some limitations. It also helps me to see where the other side is coming from. For example, I empathize with the Trumpers who think the election was stolen from them and want to fight. I also think they are fuking idiots who have been conned by a domestic terrorist, and am all for them being penalized to the fullest extent of the law (which includes the death penalty for treason). But I do empathize.

Trump is friends with dozens of democrats. Some of them for multiple decades. Coincidentally, they are all wealthy.

Liberals think they can force you to have a better life by taking money from rich and using the government as a middle man to redistribute wealth.

The problem is this rarely affects the rich, and it always affects the middle class instead.

You do everything except get a job, be a productive member of society, or stop mooching off your parents.

This is what I did and stopped voting Democrat, won’t support RINOs either

[AccountingMajor]

OP stop being a failure, pick a topic so we can discuss why your liberal beliefs are wrong. If they are right, I will agree with you.

[overtrainbrah]

the beginning of wisdom is being able simply to say "i don't know"



also, to hold two conflicting thoughts in your mind at the same time, respecting others while sticking firm to your own, listen twice as much as you speak

[Tears]

Political beliefs are quickly becoming non existent.

The main question coming is whether or not you will choose to be marked.

[AccountingMajor]

Let's assume for a second if rural areas all voted democrat. How would their living situation change. 1 thing liberals like to mention is if you increase taxes that jobs and industries will magically appear in areas that voted democrat

[Riadon]

Don't see why people outside of swing states even give a damn, such a waste of energy to be so worried about something you can't change.

Both sides act almost purely out of self interest, they aren't worth the fanaticism.

Can't hold two conflicting thoughts at the same time. One has to be wrong.

lol, we are not computers brah, by that i mean being able to entertain something you disagree with while sticking to your own beliefs

Technically even though California is a blue state.
It still can't pass raising property taxes through votes alone or affirmative action.

That's fine. But a thing can't be both true and not true. It's one thing to disagree on things you don't know the truth value for but feel strongly about. It's another thing to have one dude basically saying 17 x 6 = 112 and someone else telling you that guy is a moron. Only one of them is right.

This logic only applies to cultural relativists who think all ideas are right and dependent on culture. like Biden and Uygurs.

My favorite political writer is Leon Trotsky. Love his work and writing, disagree with most of it.

It's called looking for truth.

My writing teacher in college taught me something very important. It was for the argumentative essay. He basically asked for someone's opinion on a topic, then quickly said, "Okay now argue for the other side otherwise your opinion doesn't matter."

He made a great point. That is why in argumentative essays at some point lay out the opposing argument to your own, but then dismantle piece by piece and explain why your line of thinking is correct or more towards the truth.

Most people will never do this though. We all have our biases and experiences that conflict with that. But honestly I have done a decent job of that the past couple of years and am now not into politics at all. Once you realize that politics is an inversion of reality, it is meaningless. Conservatives conserve nothing, and liberals are not liberal. It's a false dichotomy. It is like asking someone "Are you pro transexual or pro paedo?" Uhh.....neither. Those aren't my only two options.

Also politics is a black hole no matter what direction you go in. If you go the libertarian/minarchist side of politics you realize eventually that the success of it is based on the morality of the people and hard work. That is a dead end right there. Politics at this point is just political theater. Just enjoy the show and stay out of it. Play the game correctly, or do what you can now to get out of it and be successful.

Everybody here should read "Industrial Society and it's Future" and lift more

This is the part where a liberal would say "complex problems require complex solution" then proceed to fuk everything up.

That's why I always like to play double's advocate.
