Re: What If? 2020
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2022 1:10 am
Trump says we do not know what happened on 9/11. With that willingness to lie about everything, Trump supporters will be whining about the 2020 election for the next century.

What if indeed. Are you thinking of a specific post that was disapproved for this thread?Binger wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 12:52 amThat is a diagnosis that you could not make with the information you have. Also, were you to have enough information to make a qualified diagnosis of me, it would require discussion and engagement, which, in another thread, you said I can't do. So which is it, honor? Do you dialogue enough with me to diagnose me, or do I not participate so you do not have the data?honorentheos wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 12:47 am
Your inability to process the difference between populism and popular support.
ETA: I mean that literally. I don't believe you are actually capable of discerning the difference. It's too...damaging.
And, am I really conversing with you here in Paradise? Or, are you only getting what the moderators allow? Is there a filter over this conversation?
For example. What if one of my posts was not allowed here, but it was a KEY part of my position on the topic. Could your diagnosis be swayed?
The question sits unanswered in prison. Do you want to answer it there, then? Or is it easier to have a defense to shield yourself from having to confront the issue?Binger wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 12:52 amThat is a diagnosis that you could not make with the information you have.

It's much easier to insinuate that moderators are suppressing the truth than actually answer a question.honorentheos wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 1:28 amThe question sits unanswered in prison.

Yeah buddy. Sure it was. by the way, I'd already checked the mod log and found no disapprovals of posts to this thread. Just you trying to use the moderators as an excuse to avoid answering a question.

You exemplify why it is not accurate to call popular support the same thing as populism.
Great question, Canpakes. I'm suggesting that it shows the difference between populist positions and democratic ones. Culty is fed up with a system he believes works against the common folk and is being manipulated by the evil elite. His opposition is grounded in his populist malcontent with the system. The system is rotten, so he has stepped off and will politely await its eventual demise at the hands of a future, inevitable popular uprising. That is in stark contrast with someone whose principles are in favor of democratic representation and participation in the voting process. Its revealing of the disconnect in Culty's poorly developed political views. But don't tell him that. He thinks its just me being a dick towards him and not engaging - or being against "the people" - when I try to shine a spotlight on the contradictions in what he says in order to expose the issues with populism.canpakes wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 2:29 amhonorentheos wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 12:38 am

Honor, regarding Binger’s opposition to mail-in or drop-off ballots … why would someone who claimed to be on the populist side of things prefer to have fewer options available for the common people to use, for voting?
