It’s not that we think you don’t actually have any beliefs other than GOP talking points: for example, I just spent most of a long post pointing out why your shilling for the US conservative movement is at odds with a lot of your self-proclaimed principles, and you just spend about half of a long post proving me right about what you claim those principles to be.
It’s the contradiction between (most of) those theoretical principles and your credulity about US conservative propaganda that’s the irritating part.
No, you yourself are not a Trumpian or anti-vaxxer or climate-change denier or evangelical homophobe. Good for you, here’s a cookie.
But you are nonetheless incredibly, cluelessly credulous about so much of the other bullshit propaganda that is being spread around by the same conservative movement that’s also pitching all the conspiracy-theory lies that you claim to reject.
I mean, WTF dude: You can see with your own eyes that the US conservative movement is selling shit sandwiches and shit salad and shit pasta and shit pizza, but you decide just to take their word for it that the brownies and lasagna and potpies don’t have shit in them? How gullible can you get?
See, this is the exact sort of counter-factual idiocy I’m talking about. The liberals on this board and in the US aren’t Marxists, aren’t anything like Marxists, and are generally seeking a mixed-economy structure that’s well to the right of the systems in, say, Scandinavian countries, which are not exactly collectivist-tyranny hellholes.
I mean, you’re capable of detecting Republican mendacity about COVID protocols and climate change, for example, but you still fall for the lazy Republican doublethink about liberalism = Marxism?! It’s like your critical thinking ability has this randomly operated off switch that allows you to go on believing some forms of nonsense while rejecting others.
Same for all the “culture wars” bullshit about so-called “CRT” and “segregating college dorms”. For Ogsake, there have been multiple recent discussions debunking this hysterical fearmongering with actual facts, and you still go on mindlessly regurgitating it. You may smugly imagine that you’re not being influenced by “Republican talking points”, but dude, we can see that this is exactly the same bullshit.
No, as has been very clearly pointed out, the problem with you is that you are so often fighting on the side of malicious ignorance. Not just having opinions that a lot of other posters disagree with, but straight-up falling for conservative outright lies and propaganda.
And it’s especially annoying to have to keep fighting that credulous American conservative ignorance from a poster who isn’t even an American. Shit, dude, at least make up your own credulous conservative ignorance talking points to defend. We already have to deal with enough domestic versions of these ones without re-importing more of them from over the northern border.
