No need to feel sorry for me, nomatter how much you’d like to make me feel stupid, the fact is that my whole life and career have been about telling me that I’m not. I rather think it’s this sub that’s filled with a edgy-brained caricature of little vigilantes hiding behind a keyboard, who’ve probably never achieved anything concrete that would actually be coherent with their speech, but who take refuge behind the idea that they’re intellectually superior.
It’s certainly more nuanced and intelligent than the majority of people who reply to me here and seem incapable of any argument other than insults. So far I’ve mostly add positive interaction on Lemmy, this community is fill with people who seem to live beyond their intellectual means.
Well, as you seem to hold all the absolute truths, I’ll leave you with your certainties and continue to believe that complex subjects often have complex answers, and that the world is cruelly lacking in intellectual nuance. I also suggest you look up what propaganda really means.
“You talk in very interesting cliches, I will simply give 0 credit to the South Park goons”
This kind of intransigence seems to me to show an inability for nuance and intellectual abstraction. Personally, I think it’s this kind of attitude that has led to political cleavage and radicalization in recent years, and ultimately to the popularity of monstrous figures like Trump.
Well, here’s a clear-cut and poorly explained opinion. Not much to help move things forward. Anyway, I disagree. Even when I don’t agree with some of the show’s ideas, their ideas are never simplistic and it has the merit of forcing me to think about why and how I disagree, which is already more than 95% of the uncompromising content you find these days.
This is an interesting example. They actually did a whole episode where they admitted they were wrong about Al Gore 15 years ago and have been discussing climate change in different ways since. In this age where no one ever admits to being wrong about anything, I thought it was refreshing and rather brave indeed.
