Political Hobbyism & YOU!!

[Jack]

I attacked the ideas in the article. perhaps you're identifying too closely with the subject matter. dumb people do that.

that was a personal attack. fyi

"that was a personal attack. fyi"

Thank you for proving my point.

 

[Jack]

this article is just a smear campaign against free speech, and jack is moronic for not seeing it.

Jack has an opinion, and is expressing it.

Question: Is calling Jack a moron an attempt to curb 'Free Speech' ?

 

[Sammy Jankis]

this hershy guy is an imbecile.

politics is only valid if done out of self interest? what a sweeping statement of retardation.

 

[Jack]

I disagree with it. there are good conversations here.

jack is just helping shut down free speech.

I'll leave and you can continue with your 'Political Discussion' of calling people names.

no. it definitely is not an attempt to curb free speech. it's a celebration of it.

I've also given my opinion on the article. you apparently can't read.

good, and go fuck yourself on the way out.

 

[Sammy Jankis]

apparently if you're not being paid by a multinational to purvey fake news, your opinion is cheerleading.

I'll let YOU explain your Theory.

You're the one constantly spewing your stupid "red team blue team" line, not me.

You need to explain why the facts don't fit your meme. Why don't you want to discuss that?

OP: "Political scientist Eitan Hersh says there's been a rise in "political hobbyism" in the United States. We treat politics like entertainment, following the latest updates like we follow our favorite sports teams."
Jack: This sums up my position pretty well. Red Team blathers their talking points, while Blue Team quotes the Political Correct manual they've been issued.

OP: "(political) hobbyism: the objective is self-gratification."

The "expert" is an asshole.

The objective of virtue signaling is self gratification.

Not only do you ignore the fact that voters switch parties, but you ignore the fact that the Democrats are deeply divided among themselves, at this time. So much for your stupid "team meme" bullshit.

This is AssHat (Red Team member) receiving 'self-gratification':

AssHat: "good, and go fuck yourself on the way out."
Jack: TinyDog. Don't tell me AssHat didn't get a Woodie on THAT.

Op: "we should think of politics as a way to acquire power and persuade our neighbors to back the issues we support."

It is quite obvious that the "liberal expert" is speaking to virtue singling millenial democrats.

[PostmodernProphet]

I support the freedom to put Jack on ignore....

 

[domer76]

congratulations on your war on free speech.

I’m referring to his fucking grammar, idiot.

 

[domer76]

Leftist classic online virtue signaling.

WHOOSH!

The illiterate dumbfucks are those that can’t distinguish an adjective from a noun.

[domer76]

you need to work on your free speech position.

You need to work on what the First Amendment means, halfwit.

/shrugs......illiterate = adjective........dumbfucks = noun.........domer = waste of time.....

I agree. It's a 'Sport'. Red Team/Blue Team.
Little is devoted to the actual 'issues'. Most time is spent being 'Cheerleaders' for the respective teams.

This is probably 'promoted' by outside interests using the 'Divide and Conquer' theory.

The Most Clear Example to me was when Obama suggested a 'punitive strike' on Assad and Syria for using Banned Chemical Weapons. Red Team went berserk in opposition. Then ...
Trump suggested the SAME THING ... and Red Team did cartwheels in agreement.

This type of divisional thinking is EXACTLY what China, Russia, and others want. THEY ... are winning a War that the US is unaware is being waged.

A house divided against itself cannot stand!!!
