Is this the man the Left said is relevant?

[Karha of Honor]

The media only shapes how people think. It's up to the people on whether or not to vote left or right.

But most people don't have the time or the inclination for deep searching stuff.

Speaking of shaping the Left is also dominant in education.

Because of the whole phony "liberal arts" name fallacy when it comes to college education? What I've read is liberal arts is becoming less of a profession and it's moving more towards business-oriented.

Because your tribe dominates college campuses because of most teachers are on the left.

Tribe? LOL. Way to dismiss millions of people as if they're barbaric animals there, bud. Even I don't think the 60,000,000 Trump voters are ruthless, violent sociopaths, so maybe you should clean up your paranoia. It is a statistic fact that young people tend to be more liberal, and that they are the pioneers for change. Besides, why is that so bothersome, again? If you hate leftists so much, don't worry, those "filthy, evil liberals" will suffer enough under crushing college debts, I assure you. Though as I've said, your side controls the government. You act as if we have all the power, when honestly, it's just the culture. Your side should have tons of power to pass laws, enforce them. So, why aren't they? I don't agree, before you bring this up, that it's they're scared of the fanatical leftists rebelling against them. They control the military and could put down any revolt, plus most people would remain apathetic in said case. I think it's because they're just as fractured and disunited as the left is. That's the thing. The left isn't all one voice, the way you think it is. How sad is it they control a majority of the government, and don't get anything done? With the culture, it's mostly consuming entertainment media and how people react to the news and so on and so forth. That's no real power, that's a majority of people, and if you dislike that, maybe you have the problem, and not other people?

I just said tribe, did not say what kind.

I don't see it as liberalism and replaying civil rights fights of the 60s and 70s endlessly is not progress.

There are not many more cultural frontiers to conquer.

Using the military for culture war occupation would be the worst precedent ever.

The societhy wide narrative that if right woingers want to have good jobs they have to go to college dominated by the left is very real. That is power.

The Left has no idea what that is like that.

I think the marketplace is slower to assert itself in entertainment and the news because:

-Journalism makes little money

-entertainment, the industry is concentrated and leftists are willing to do Kamikaze moves.

[Yukaphile]

Okay.

And that there's still prejudice, sexism, stuff like bombings against Democrats, and recently an anti-semite shot up a synagogue, that's not something that's worth stopping? Because if that's what you mean by endlessly repeating the battles of the sixties and seventies, then it's honestly your side's fault because they just couldn't handle the idea that a black man won the election, and they've always been speaking in dog-whistles and code words. Refer to what Nixon's people said, how they'd change the language from the more outright "nigger" and "negro" to something more soft and subtle like... well, take Reagan's welfare queens, for example. Look up the Southern Strategy. The GOP has been plotting this for decades, and just manipulate the stupid people who vote for them so they can keep chipping away at our civil liberties. They've wanted to kill the New Deal ever since FDR, and they're going to get their chance soon, believe you me. And let's also be clear we still have a few issues to sort out on human gender issues. The normalizing of the LGBT community, and to hopefully maybe just phase out gender roles and gender stereotypes from our society. It's not an overnight process, it is slow going, but one that I think is worth it if it means you can raise a boy and not expect him to be an alpha hunter and don't get all bent out of shape if he's gay, or wants to be a girl.

Really? The fact there's so much Americans giving in to hate? That's not something to be worried about? Oh you'll probably cite Antifa and BLM, and fine. I think it's misguided to throw a temper tantrum when many of those spoiled kids should have actually got off their asses and voted in 2016. But that doesn't change the fact that right engages in just as much violence. And now it's the extreme fringe left vs. the extreme fringe right, and those in the middle are getting caught up in it. For God's sake, a far righter threw a car at someone last year! And while that recently happened with us, by accident, and I felt guilty, this psychopath didn't even care. That's not something to be concerned about, with tensions and emotions running high, people looking for someone, anyone to blame but themselves, an enabler in the White House who tells them "It's okay, it's really not your fault, hate that mysterious other", and guns everywhere? That doesn't seem like a very bad idea to you?

My point was to illustrate your side controls the government, and they can't get shit done, even with serious social unrest and many Americans giving in to anger and hate. It was to counter you from claiming they're terrified to pass laws restricting our rights because then the "crazy leftists" that represent a majority of people in this country would rise up in rebellion. Because I see most being too afraid to do anything, and just wanting to protect those close to them.

Okay, seriously, you're trying to say we're demolishing education... how? By the time of college, someone is more than fully grown, capable of choosing whether they wanna vote right or left. Maybe most do it because they agree with leftist views, ever think of that? And that again assumes the left is united, and it is not. I know this one kid, since he was 15, very liberal, has grown increasingly conservative as he's about to enter college. He turns 18 this year, and wouldn't ya know, he's now a Republican-defending Libertarian. So maybe it's just that the problem isn't most people, but you? Maybe it's that most people are more than capable of making their own choices than you give them credit for? Though the media is shit and put their own slant on it, so I can agree that you could potentially act on false information in that way. And btw, it's the right that's trying to sabotage education by trying to put creationism back in the classroom and teach Christian religious doctrine as if it's fact, when it's not. And given how much the GOP loves cutting taxes to give more money to the uber rich, you can bet they're going to someday slash education. And it's disgusting when you see how poorly underfunded most elementary schools are. THAT is where the real power lies. In shaping how elementary school kids think during critical formative years. Not practically matured adults. As my young Libertarian friend proves.

No idea what that's about.

*clears throat* Uh... Maybe want to rethink that statement?

[Yukaphile]

Wait. There's a difference between condemning a few people, and condemning them all. The problem really is human nature.

[Admiral X]

I'm literally a member of a tribe.

[Yukaphile]

The Libertarian stuff? Sorry, wasn't talking about you. Mostly it's this insufferable seventeen-year-old I know.
