The more you platform them the more voice and visibility they get, which ends up drawing support for this 51st nonsense. I don’t care to learn about the ignorant mindset of traitorous pieces of shit. They should stop voting for policies and parties that privilege the rich. But they’re too dumb for even that.

How the fuck else do you hope to… no, never mind. We’re not having a discussion, you’re just making emotional expressions. But I will say that this model of yours that says people do these things because they are stupid or “dumb” might help you cope emotionally, but it prevents you from reaching any genuine insight.

I’m not the person you were responding to but I just wanted to make perfectly clear that you are 100% full of shit.

It doesn’t give anyone ANY measure of “cope” that so many people are fucking stupid. Its terrifying, despairing, and awful. I would rather delusionally believe I could convince them of rational stances, now that would be cope.

You should probably… idk, actually read what they said.

Treating everyone you disagree with like they’re stupid is coping emotionally. Instead of taking the time to, idk discuss things with people they’ve written them off as dumb before they ever speak to them.

Yes, approaching discourse this way and believing that you can achieve any kind of middle ground is delusional.

There is a very important difference between “platforming” and “reporting” and you really should to learn what it is before you start policing people.

Platforming is perhaps the wrong term, maybe “selective reporting” and “cherry picking” fits better.
