I'm glad we're holding Fox News and a random shitposter to the same standard.
Who do you think writes Fox News material and controls their format: their viewers. MSNBC doesn't push their collective agenda on the people. They didn't create the far left, it's the other way around. Fox News itself is the same in that their sole agenda is to pander to their viewer demographics and perpetuate their collective opinions. Republican shills and ultra conservatives.
The vast majority of the public don't watch that excrement and they sure as hell don't get their news from them. They have their own sources. Most are stuck speaking to people who share their views and read blogs/listen to podcasts that give them the same reaction: that they're right and the other side is wrong. They're part of a way of thinking, or a member of a team, and that team wants to discredit their rivals.
I ridicule the far left morons like Antifa and SJWs because I get enjoyment out of it just like you guys and those on the other side. Hearing opinions that fit yours entrenches those beliefs even more and further discourages you from engaging in dialogue with the other side since their beliefs are also being entrenched, which makes honest debate increasingly difficult.
The far left and far right are already hopeless, just as we've seen with the Berkeley protests, the SJWs in their incubated college campuses where their views are being reinforced on a daily basis. Far right whose views do the same by watching Fox News and telling them what to broadcast. It's the majority of us, the ones in the middle, who I'm concerned about. Increasingly being pulled in either direction until we truly get to a point where we're so polarized that we stop talking. And we all know what comes next when that happens, history repeats itself and I fear that we're already in the middle of it and we don't realize it yet.
I'm not under the delusion that because I see what's going on that I'm immune to falling into this like so many others. I've seen it with you as you've noticeably have been pulled quite a bit to the left while always being in the middle, and some can say that I'm moving more into the right. Before we know it this thread will become a graveyard because debate will no longer be possible.
