Your conflating political speech with general communication, is this on purpose to derail?
I think the difference of opinion comes from me describing the state of things as they are right now while you describe what you wish to be true (a state which is possible but not a reality right now).
Similar to speaking, wishing things into existence doesn’t work. This is something that seems to affect liberal left discourse the most. Voters ain’t dumb, they see how impotent that is and vote for the strong-men like Trump because that’s all that’s left. It’s like a panic button labeled „can the elites wake up please”.
There's no conflation there because there isn't a defined boundary between the two things you think I'm conflating.
You're describing how you think things are, I'm describing how I think they are. Dismissing my perception as fantasy before considering it is the root of the difference of opinion. Have a go at the argument.
Nobody is saying that wishing or speaking things into existence is effective. I think you must know that nobody is saying this? I'm trying very hard to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but you'll have to convince me at this point.
Ah, so it was never a discussion but just aping. What a waste of time. Thank $deity for the block function, bye.
Hmm. I wonder why you reached that conclusion? I think what's happened here is that you realised you lost the argument and you got too bored to keep on pretending you hadn't. I welcome your block, as I don't like talking to people who argue in bad faith. Bye.
