Try harder please. I have read several articles posted by OP. They clearly have an agenda and have engaged in a lot of trolling behavior.

So the question is having an active troll/propagandist really good for the community. Maybe you could argue that they generate engagement or that we need to protect people's right to disagree.

The community should carefully weigh this moving forward. If accounts that act like bots are allowed then this place will follow in the footsteps of Digg or Reddit.

Personally, I would have already set them straight as a moderator. I have never been impressed by edgy people who add very little to the conversation.

It is clear they should be banned already.

I think it does bring up some larger issues though. Like should limits be placed on accounts. Do we really want users like this? Are they adding to the experience?

His campaign should continue highlight how much we were lied to about Biden's mental health. It is hilarious to hear them beat that drum when they are not even running against Biden anymore and Trump is the only deranged old man running now.

This is a nonstarter because there is a quarter pound of salt in every gallon of salt water. A small town of 50k would easily produce close to a million pounds of salt a day. Now try to scale that up to 20 million people in LA for instance.

Yes, a bunch of had to evacuate their homes. This is why the government has come down so hard on them. Disproportionate? Sure, but then the government has never been known for their reasonableness

I think we can pretty much agree on this.

You act like it is the Democratic parties responsibility to inoculate against all the problems the Republicans created.

The conservatives lost because the Democratic Party did their policies better than they could. They moved to the right and instead of trying to counter them the conservatives just went off the deep end.

I don't feel sorry for them nor do I applaud the direction the Democratic party went.

The Democratic party should play to these young men's insecurities, lie to them, and turn them against society am I right?

This is propaganda, psychological manipulation that the conservatives are using. Fear following into hate is a very effective tactic.

There is no effective counter because now you have to convince a incel they are wrong. People believe what they hear especially if you are using the best of psychology to fuck with them.

This is a dumb take. The artist doesn't listen to the clay when he molds it. This is not about listening. It is about telling.

Impressionable young men being propagandized to. Manipulated to be political about topics they don't understand.

Being fed lies that will hurt them and everyone around them the rest of their lives so someone can get their money and their votes.

They are not tapping these young men's reality. They are creating it.

No doubt about that. The real question is how do we move forward with the least loss of human life and dignity. Leaving these people to continue to terrorize each other is no longer an option.

For a long time now Republicans will come up with decent solutions but are unwilling to commit to them because they would no longer have the grievances they need to drive their voters.

The Democratic party picks these ideas up and then passes them as law. This has caused the Republican party to become increasingly desperate for new grievances hence the whole trans thing.

To put it another way the Democratic party became conservative in their policies and the Republicans went batshit crazy because of it.

Fighting hatred with hatred has been going on for several decades now. As the atrocities pile up on both sides it is likely to just get worse.
