Conservatives are insane

[VewyScawwyNawcissist]

The OP is quite retarded so I'm not responding to it, but this claim that the culture is improving got my attention-


The youth spend an average of 8 hours a day on electronic devices, hardly ever go outside, and there's more mental illness amongst the youth today by an order of magnitude. They youth are also dating much less... it takes the average person 10 more years to become financially independent. During the Vietnam war people weren't at one anothers throats the way they are now... I don't see how you could believe the culture is improving and everything is fine and good, you must live in some well insulated bubble. My guess is you're probably quite wealthy. Crime is down because of the improvements in policing, it's much easier to get caught nowdays with cameras everywhere... people know this so they are more careful. People are also disengaged... This is no barometer for the health of the culture.

people are at each other's throats bc they have free speech now and women and minorities can defened themsleves more, and since crimes are more easily tracked that also comes with it. u disgusting filth

That's a rather big problem if we figure in how Edward Bernays figured out how if a given rando only needed about 3 "independent" people to tell them a certain thing was "correct" and they'd believe it so hard you'd honestly mistake them for a fanatical cultist.

"Narrative Warfare" is essentially the only warfare that ultimately matters in the end. I just wish my side would realize that and act accordingly as we'd easily win given how we stand on the side of truth over lies.

That last part defeats your entire rhetorical structure. Women and Minorities aren't able to defend themselves? (Insert most insulting term here in an accent that just makes it all the more obvious that the insult was absolutely intentional) You dumb ass toadie who literally and eagerly does vid related:



Would explain how you still can't format for shit. Sin makes you stupid after all...

You have to learn to choose your battles. You could spend the remainder of your life debating with the rambling schizoids you run into online... you'll end up sounding as insane as they are by the end of it, make no progress as people just hear what they want to hear anyway, and you're sacrificing your own self interests in the process... Live your life and enjoy it, don't let these little shits drag you down and destroy it. Also recognize that arm-flailing mentally deranged brats are more of an embarrassment to their cause than they are the spearheads of it.

Besides... I've become less interested in narratives and more interested in individualism. The individual doesn't need a political narrative to guide them, they can rely on their inner voice and apply reason appropriately wherever it's needed. If anything what we need is to pierce through narrative and get people thinking for themselves again.

You could consider religion to be the ultimate narrative, but I don't think I've ever seen a person converted as a result of debate. People who've never been exposed to the topic, sure, but otherwise the conclusion has been made before the conversation begins. That conclusion is based on inherent attitudes. It's something you really cannot effect. The same is true for political narratives... You might occasionally be able to snap people out of narrative by forcing them to reason... this might work in certain contexts. It's a long shot though, even otherwise intelligent people lose their ability to reason about these things, it's kind of amazing.

TBH I recommend you just live your life and enjoy it, and try to avoid the lobotomized political zealots as much as possible. One of the big lies is this idea that the only game to be played is the political game, but you can play your own game by living your own life to the maximum.
