You gotta just soldier on and have those serious discussions whilst also as a side-quest making sure the hypocrites know that they're hypocrites, and that they won't be a part of the conversation until they simmer down a bit
It becomes an issue when the loudest voices are our mainstream media.
Originally posted by SurturIdk, Trump's cosying up to him is kind of worrying. No honourable leader of a country should direct such flagrant flattery and simpering sycophancy towards a tyrant such as Putin. Idk, I see that as a bigger issue than the same hypocrisy that has infested politics for as long as anyone remembers.
Putin is a piece of dog shit. But I refuse to make him the boogeyman other dipshits in my country have. It just won't happen.And I sure as hell won't whine Trump wants to make friends with Russia, given they are a nuclear power. I might not like how he always goes about it, but I won't overall whine at the efforts(leftists in this country have whined at the efforts)
Do these shitheads just want the cold war, or actual war? All cuz they are butthurt Hillary lost? F*ck that.

It certainly COULD be a huge issue. People should wait and see instead of being utter lunatics.
A person could make a valid point about Putin and yet if they end that point this screaming about nazis I just think said person is a piece of dog shit too.
*shrugs* perhaps they should try not being hypocrites. ONE side needs to try this first. Dems sure as hell think they are superior. Maybe they can act like it, for 1 week.
Originally posted by SurturI by-and-large agree with what you're saying, but like you said, one side has to try not being hypocrites first, so why not be that very side?

The problem with doing that means that you have to be prepared to be branded a traitor by your own side. Personally, I'm fine with it, if it's in the name of slow progress towards healthier discourse.
