Doesnt work though mate, that's my point. The example in this forum being this dipshit here. No one should be taking him seriously, nor giving him the time of day, he's not interested in reasoned debate, he's only interested in propagating his half cooked racist ideals.
I have to be honest and agree with you, he does appear racist so I choose to ignore the majority he says.

He can be talking truth but as a human, I automatically shut off what he says because he isn't doing himself any favours.

That wasn't the case in 2016 though was it? They came out of the woodwork when they finally had someone to get behind, someone who's values matched theres
In part. There was a big uprising of Antifa supporters leading up to the election and prior to that the polls were heavily supporting Hilary. They only started shifting later in the election when all the uprising came up.

They were already supporting Trump anyway but for many it became a full on vigilant thing in response to conflicts between Trump supporters and everyone else. Stories of Trump supporters being harassed in the street drove Conservatives toward Trump.

btw does anybody want to play the white/black version of monopoly?

the rules are the same as monopoly except the person/people playing as white starts first like in chess, they get to play for 8 hours alone, rolling the dice, passing go, buying properties etc

then the black player enters and he tries to compete, if he ever makes a claim that the game is unfair then you can mock him for not taking personal responsibility and being an idiot who doesnt understand business

Interesting thing about Monopoly. The game was invented by a left wing feminist who hated Capitalism so much that she created the game to teach people about the wrongs of Capitalism. The game idea was later stolen by another dude and sold to Parker Brothers where it became one of the greatest selling board games of all time.

Pretty ironic.

Conservatives have always been more well organised as a unit, compared to liberals, who value individualism more.

And prior to trump being elected theres been decades of growth of far right organisations both in the media(fox news which has/had a very high audience) and as conservative think tanks. They've been building up to this sort of base since the 80s/90s, its just that it probably took them by surprise as well as they never expected a Republic candidate to be so brazen with racism, homophobia etc. Their other candidates have always toed the line with what wqs "acceptable" racism.

I think to put down just to a reaction is ignoring the heavy work conservatives have put in behind the scenes for the past 30 to 40 years. We're now also seeing funding coming to Australia from these US conservative groups and trying to influence our local politics

Thats why i react the way I do to this guy. Hes only interested in propagating racist ignorance hes not actually interested in understanding the issues and resolution of these issues. His simple minded explanation is blacks are bad

He deliberately chooses not to understand a simple concept, implores others to explain said concept to him, then becomes incredibly academic and points out holes in posters explanation.
Oh, in addition to being crowned Mr Generalization of the Century

I've watched his behaviour over several threads, it's blatantly obvious.

Yeah, that's definitely a huge part of it. The Conservatives rising up against the left harassment is only a tiny part of it. But they were at a stage where a tiny part gets them over the line.

The increase in Internet and social media has lead to an increase in Conservatives and Conspiracy Theorists alike through the social media and forum echo chambers where they end up in groups with like minded individuals that convince them that they are right about everything. When you have a presidential candidate who shares those same stances then it's a match made in heaven.

The ironic thing I always love about Conspiracy Theorists, and Conservatives, is that they end up all spouting about not trusting the media, or the government, or authorities, but they will always believe something more if there are no facts or evidence associated with it. Especially if they are told it by an individual who has no specialisation or associated skills whatsoever.

It's a very interesting, and somewhat concerning, form of cognitive bias.

in defense of conspiracy theorists, they are sometimes correct especially if it makes sense

for example there is plenty of meat in the 9/11 inside job conspiracy or the jfk one

im pretty sure they shot JFK in the face because he was not acting like a proper president fighting against communism

You can usually find evidence for any conspiracy you want if you look for it.

What if you don't trust certain parts of media, government and authorities? IE like clear bullshit and bias?

Certain factions within those groups push agendas under the guise of the patent group.

Well I just think they have gotten smarter, assassinations don't cut it anymore, just draws more people to question.

These days they assassinate character, making them look nuts and labeling them CT's and such.

I don't classify myself a conspiracy theorist or truther or anything, I just like to question anything that sounds bullshit.

yeah for example in 9/11 when the flight 77 flew for 47 minutes before it hit the pentagon and they explained that they didnt intercept it because of ATC confusion

i want you to sit down looking at a blank screen for 47 minutes just to understand how long that is, i could make a bowl of maggi noodles, eat it, take a shower and still have enough time to get some planes up there

in the JFK situation the evidence is the magic bullet and kennedy taking it in the front of the face and moving back and to the left

This is why I used to get upset when labelled a conservative, to me both sides have their pros and cons, good and bad.

Also why I can't trust the media because it always go back to their owners and their political compass, meaning we will never get unbiased truth.
