@billybrizzle420 If “friendship” is contingent on going to some parties at a regularly scheduled time — brother, these are not friends. Connections at best.
@IbaraEleven Liberals do trust the “official sources” and well-established media quite a bit. Certainly less than the research, or past experience, or simple reasoning — they need a final, stamped document, or a “consensus” of nobody — just some simile of objectivity they can safely refer to.
@stefan_demetz > war would have been over much sooner
While it's taking longer, the West got attrited along the way as well, not to mention the political shitfest going on.

That repeated not so long ago. Quite a pattern.
@ghostofchristo1 And supposedly smart, informed people with an access to all the levers and loudspeakers shell allegedly educated, capable masses with these poisonous narratives day and night and won’t let up.
@Alma75614899 Many people just want a state-mandated, socially acceptable vent for their hatred and frustration. They want a team to root for, they want simple narratives and solutions — all with a pretense of a supposedly intellectual, liberal, even leftist facade.
Which is a shame.

@ghostofchristo1 The burgeoning modern system — liberal in the broadest sense — built its institutions upon the waning body of the old morality, which it took for granted and mocked.
Now as the system recedes all it can offer is corrupt functionaries, naive fools — and monsters out for blood.
@BeSaintly Somehow they miss the parts in the Epistles that speak of Christ doing the day of the atonement for the entire creation. Which means it was cleansed.
