For people who don't have the ability to extrapolate, making a simple judgment seems like something between "coming up with random lies" & "black magic."
Not only do they not get what you're saying, they don't even understand how you could've arrived at the position.
@ReactionaryLuma we were so America-centric that we all started learning about random Kenyan geography and we loved it and we looked it up ourselves to try to learn more about the region
@CrowNo70754@FogbrainArts "when it's the biggest selling piece of media"
People buy a game before they've played it & before they know whether they liked it or not.
Sales don't measure quality.
@frogNscorpion On the "when do we demand more" point, always.
I'd just rather that the demands be effective (should they reach Lowe) & not look like blackpilling (to the rest of us).
I'd bet our disagreements are mostly just over how we expect particular ideas / word choice to be perceived.
@frogNscorpion Thanks for earnestly engaging, always a nice surprise on here.
Sorry for the wait. Was writing / chopping it up, 280 limit.
tl;dr
I think Lowe is still a very effective tool for dragging us rightward, & that criticism has to be stuff that'll actually reach him to be effective.
@frogNscorpion Claiming that Lowe "rugpulled" his supporters isn't just "oh gosh I just wanted to help guide him in the right direction" criticism.
A "rugpuller" is a complete fraud. Substanceless, hopeless, no chance of improvement, should just be abandoned.
Right?
@gatorgar The overwhelming majority of people cannot understand anything with more than one step.
Even when that last step was something that they just said or did.
You're trying to explain context to a wall.
They only understand whatever they think / feel / want in this exact moment.
