> [@Gatopescado](#): > > When we start to determine opinions are “wrong” Lots of opinions are wrong. “Republican policies are good for the country” is a wrong opinion. “Non-white people are genetically inferior” is a wrong opinion. “Tim Walz is a plagiarist and can’t cook hotdish” is a wrong opinion. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > When we start to determine opinions are “wrong”, then we have kinda lost grip on the ball. Are you intentionally being obtuse or just an idiot. One: not all opinions are equal. Would you equate someone saying “Magenta is the prettiest color” with “Hitler had some really good ideas” with “9/11 was a government false flag plot”? Second: When Beck gets called out on her opinions for being judgmental and stupid, she doubles-down that she is objectively right, plays the victim card that we are all ganging up on her and tells the mods to close the thread after she’s had her say to try and prevent responses It’s the second that most people here have the issue with. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > A LONELY OLD LADY! FWIW, Beck is not a “lonely old lady.” Before today, I knew she wasn’t old, but I assumed that she might be lonely because of her health issues and self-reported tendency to be tongue-tied out in public. However, I now have it on good authority (Beck herself) that she doesn’t feel lonely, she’s got lots of people around her. Good for her. ---

I also have copies of her and my messages, mostly advice about a guy I was seeing. Also she offered, I did not ask( Oct). Why you are so riled up on her behalf because she is being criticized, is somewhat out of proportion.
