Absolutely. Jordan Peterson has some great arguments on the current fashions for pigeon holing to create division, and Candace Owens has similar, albeit from a different perspective.

If people could discuss things civilly, and without the shackles of party politics, I reckon we've all got far more in common than some noisy minorities would like to imagine.

Will never catch on. Not in my lifetime.

True.

To do that would require people being prepared to make concessions like:

  • to concede that they may not be totally correct,
  • to concede that the other person may have a point
  • to conceded that their version of other people could be wrong
  • to actually think for themselves, rather than just parroting whatever ideology they were taught.
And that's just for starters.
 
You have to listen to the 'other side' if you want to move onwards and hopefully upwards. You can't understand what you ignore. As much as I don't like Ben 'my wife is a doctor' Shapiro he does make some good points. Not to Andrew Neil obvs.

So what you're saying is...

Politics is now shouty, feelings based, soundbitey, partisan, entrenched nonsense for the most part. It's more about feeling right and righteous indignation than it is about solving issues and problems in the country. Just tribes throwing **** at each other. They don't realise they're both just covered in **** and nothing more.
Ignoring the word politics, you have just summed up Dull in a single post. I think I’m going to like you being around <cheers>

:emoticon-0102-bigsm Why she thought she could out psyche a psychologist, especially one like him says a lot for her arrogance.

I did see a conversation between Peterson and Mat Dillahunty, and Dillahunty made Peterson look quite lightweight. Then again, it was a fairly loaded topic, as Peterson was effectively tasked with proving God exists, and that's pretty much Mat's stock in trade. It was interesting all the same.

Andrew the lefty? :emoticon-0102-bigsm

I tend to seek out views that oppose my initial perception just to see if there's a better or alternative way of viewing things. If you don't know where someone is arguing from, it's difficult to get a decent level of engagement, especially as some fields of study have different meanings for some words and phrases.

He's taken a leaf out if Sowell's book. Keep calm, use facts.
 
Thick ****s like treble used to try squealing 'racist' in every reply, until they realised how stupid they looked when they couldn't back it up, so they think going for the next most 'offensive' word in their lexicon will have some effect.

What they fail to factor in, is that few if any have any respect for them or their opinion, so it's just a duck farting in the wind.

They've followed us here, which suggests they care, we've never asked to go back to safespace, and haven't bothered with it since the bans were lifted, which demonstrates who is hanging on whose word.

Crack on ya desperate ****wits. Your usual reply to a post like this is to claim it's long so must be a meltdown. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

<laugh>

Too easy.
