It's accurate for some people, yeah, but it does reduce the point to something that you find easier to dismiss, which is useful only to you.
k, but you did dismiss him as simply acting, so there's that. but you have fun spinning that into some sort of proof that i'm a poopy-head.

That's fair enough. I personally don't get that much of a kick out of seeing my political opponents flip out, because when they're flipping out it makes it harder to speak to them and try to understand their rationale and thus possibly change their opinion, or at least make them confront their own opinions and make sure that they really believe in them. Things are different in America though, it's all about point scoring from what I can tell. Not that it's that different in other countries, I imagine.
Yes and no. The types of people who flip out over a comic like Kimmel are not reasonable to begin with and will never be.
The Conservatives who see a Kimmel type and see it for what it is, those are the types you can have a reasonable convo with, possibly even find a middle-ground. Cos that's really what sensible want.

Can you explain how he nailed me? And before you do: no, bringing up Trump tweets doesn't do that. Whenever Trump tweets out something misleading every single MSM outlet pounces on it.
Show me a MSM outlet calling out Kimmels misleading information.
Originally posted by Bashar TegI dismissed him for acting, not for being an actor. There's a difference. Non-actors can act falsely in public too, and actors can give their honest emotions in public, too. Your phrasing of 'he's an actor so who cares' was reductionist and misses my actual point.

Originally posted by Bashar TegThat is true, and I don't disagree about the likelihood of him actually caring because he more than likely does care quite a bit, I just don't trust people who ham up emotions for empathy points because that is literal emotional manipulation.
the ability to fake emotions for hire does not render one's every show of emotions to be fake by default. i never said "he cares", but rather that the common assertion of "he doesnt really care" is horseshit.
