@HereticBD
I don't know dude, it's not a matter of you not being on my team. I think there are tons of trash posters one would call "left" I think it's mostly you being the sassiest straight dude here lol. You are an intellligent dude, but you are basically the Squidward of the WR. I just would like more elaboration when it comes to WR posts, but at the same time this place is literally a cesspool of intellectualism.
Again though, my posting style is the same across the board. I might be more confrontational in here, simply due to the nature of the War Room, but the style in which I post is the same across the board. So, while you might appreciate and agree with my takes on other topics, you can't in here, because I would imagine damn near everything I say, clashes with your worldview.
Also I disagree when you say "if I were some raving progressive just parroting left wing talking points, and posting a bunch a tweets in place of original thoughts" come on, QueenB threads aren't full of leftists lol.
But Queen B is an obvious troll and everyone knows it. Horrible example. There's Joe, PEB, 58Miles, KONG, The Big Bang, TheOneAboveAll, Skold, RearnakedChoke, Kenetics, LangfordBarrow, Hola, Jefferz...I can go on and on. You've got plenty of vapid Lefties in here who do nothing but parrot left wing talking points, and post nothing resembling an original thought. In fact, I'd say it's the vast majority.
This is a very right wing dominated forum
The War Room certainly is not. It's a pretty even split.
I think if you had the same style from the other side you'd likely be looked over. I hope you know I'm not trying to be insulting or rude, you might be right, but often your posts (to me) come across as dry and sassy. I'd say if you switched sides you would be a liberal and not a leftist because there isn't a lot of substance to your posts here.
This seems like more of personal issue than anything. If I were on the left, I would stand out all the same. You personally might skim over my posts, but I would be just as notable due to my activity and the way I post. Like it or not, people do agree with a lot of my insights in here, even though I don't accompany them with a bunch of links, and break my thoughts down like I'm writing an essay. It would be no different if I was on the other side.
Hell buddy in the Millennial wealth thread you basically just said "well quit buying IPhones". Honestly my frustration isn't about what side you picked, it's that I think you're interesting and intelligent and you rarely offer your true insight.
While I do post my fair share of dismissive and condescending comments, there's truth to that whether you like it or not. No offence, but I could cite you as an example. I don't know what your situation is now, but at one time you were a starving artist living out of your car chasing your dreams, and wasting all the excess money you did obtain on booze and drugs. That's not the crushing weight of unchecked capitalism holding you down. That's your decisions shaping your situation. You're not owed anything, because you decided to chase your dreams instead of settling for a steady job. You chose to ride the lighting and see where it takes you. Hopefully it worked out for you, but if it didn't, it's not "the system's" fault. It's your fault.
Now obviously there are other factors at play in general, like stagnant wages in the face of a never ending rise in the cost of living, but it's not the be all end all. There are plenty of opportunities out there, and nothing exemplifies it more than what is happening right now, where there are literally MILLIONS of job openings, yet most who are out of work are choosing to sit on their asses and collect. Then, when Daddy government inevitably turns the taps off, they're gonna be those same people complaining that they're getting fucked by the system, even though opportunity has been staring them in the face. Oh' and all that money they were just handed? Gone.
The only real difference in what we believe in this regard, is that you have a victim mentality and I don't.
