@ADAMATION @meagain23807656 @PdoggJoe @joncoopertweets Where are they wrong?

@Annefy1 @Chrismcclorey2 @HumanProgress Look up "DDT barrels off Catalina" and enjoy reading how 100'000s of barrels have been dumped in the ocean.

@FogCityMidge @JudgeJeanine "legal opinion" from Judge Jeanine, LOL. What poetic irony that not even Fox can risk losing that much credibility by airing her drunken rants, because you know, they're a business and still want viewers in future. Isn't capitalism wonderful! Marketplace of ideas has dumped Trump

@BraveSurRobin @SamHarrisOrg The real TDS is from the people who can legitimately listen to Trump talk and _not_ think he's an uneducated, self-obsessed egomaniac and compulsive liar.

@ol_buddy7 @timheidecker People come up to me and say, "Sir, Tim Heidecker could be the next Bill Cosby".

You can’t use reason to convince anyone out of an argument that they didn’t use reason to get into.

@omersaif Awesome! DMs might be open now.
Which article was it? Hope it was interesting 🙂

[Mourits de Beer @mouritsdebeer]

Being able to follow like-minded people on Twitter is great, but have you tried arguing with people who fundamentally have different world views? That's the real deal

[Mourits de Beer @mouritsdebeer]

@BadxBeast @timheidecker Just a heads up that NY Post is practically right wing propaganda.

@mikeschussler @PeteWalsh_ZAR Tell your friend the public support would be so big that they'll get immediate job offers if they do get fired.

@Auslerato_ @Oneonon33494024 @PatriotMarc @alfred_cabonena Yeah - I think you missed it, but OneOnOnes' tweet is ironic in that way. He's judging a whole population in trying to make a point about racism, basically being a "racist anti-racist". That's the type of oblivious mentality holding everyone back.

@SXY247 @ErnstRoets This is *not* the BLM manifesto - you can look it up. This is clearly a printout that someone made in Word - anyone could've made it, and it looks like a racist's weak idea of what BLM is about. Misinformation to sow hate. Don't be so easily persuaded by what you see on Facebook.

@realDonaldTrump @LouDobbs It's easier to hit a record gain after a record loss. But we can't exactly expect attention to detail from you..

Remember the "record breaking" jobs increase last week, +5 million in June, without mentioning that 30+ million people lost their jobs thanks to your botched response

@AprilCa58887706 @GsChadalavada Democrats didn't fight to keep slaves, Confederates did. Jefferson Davis was a "Democrat" in the 1860s, 160y ago

Abortion clinics don't "exterminate blacks", it saves families from raising kid they can't afford.

Democrats didnt support the Nazis. Total nonsense, come on grandma

@NOVAXEVER @mediagirl2020 @iammix24 You are welcome to express your views.

Do you think that right wing media is -not- conflating the group of peaceful protestors (and general public that supports anti-racism) with "radical leftist" looters and rioters?

It's my view that they are purposefully fear mongering.

[Mourits de Beer @mouritsdebeer]

@YetiChic1 It's delusional to make a sweeping generalisation of millions of people, especially something as insidious as calling them all hateful.
It's similar to labeling all republicans hateful - it's wrong - but it's pretty standard in the current landscape to make false generalisations.

[Mourits de Beer @mouritsdebeer]

@Itllblend @iammix24 @naval @Benaskren I'm not trying to argue, I'm legitimately curious whether you, as an ex-cop, sees a problem in the police system or not. I'm def not an advocate for abolishing police or anything, but I think better training and more accountability is essential to improve society for everyone.

[Mourits de Beer @mouritsdebeer]

@Itllblend @iammix24 @naval @Benaskren Do you think that police should be held accountable for killing people unnecessarily?
George Floyd is well known and they've been charged, but in all other cases - should the cops be fired/arrested?
Do you think race is not a factor in the shootings and it just happens sometimes?

[Mourits de Beer @mouritsdebeer]

@analda2 True - it shouldn't be about arguing, it's more about engaging and interacting with people who think totally differently. In the current landscape it's necessary to pierce through echo chambers and spread different ideas, and also to learn what the other side really believes.
