Has anybody else seen the number of far right posts being suggested on their Instagram feeds massively increase since Trump took power?

I don’t understand why you’re arguing, I literally spoke to people who gave that as the reason.

Whether the reason is valid or not is neither here nor there.

It’s what it is.

Most people voted for Trump because of their lived experience of the economy. It’s depressing that it outweighed all the awful stuff he’s done, but that’s America - the American dream is literally about getting rich.

What you said was absolute nonsense, politicians get elected based on what they will do with public money.

They take credit for the success of their policies and responsibilities for their failures.

You’re either unaware of what politics is or dishonest, I get the feeling it’s the latter.

I don’t fancy having this conversation thanks - I have no idea what you’re trying to achieve but I want no part of it.

Right. So do you like Trump and Johnson? Or do your views just perfectly align with them by chance?

20.11.2024 10:29 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

You support Boris Johnson and Donald Trump, two men who are obsessed with putting their name on anything they can…

Not the most exciting review I’ve ever done, but something that will defo still be in a toolbox in 20 years time

It’s his policy - do you think that money magically just makes things happen by itself?

You have spent the last 8 hours shouting at strangers on a social media platform…

18.11.2024 21:42 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

You’re so desperate for confrontation that you responded to the same message 3 times

You don’t know what you stand for, all you know is who you like shouting at.

18.11.2024 21:23 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

you have spent the last 7 hours desperately trying to annoy people who you disagree with.

Do you really have nothing better to do?

Did you download Bluesky just to argue with people you disagree with?

I’m literally doing the opposite of trolling Patrizia, you’re the one calling 49% of the US voting population misogynists

18.11.2024 16:46 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Because their prices are higher. They don’t care about prices anywhere else. It’s like arguing you should be happy to have 1 arm as some people have 0.

I have spoken to lots of republican voters (my company is based in the US) and they all say the same thing.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

Nope - the aggressive way you talk about fellow humans who don’t hold the same views as you is what makes you seem morally superior.

18.11.2024 13:46 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

And it’s people with your attitude to other human beings that will keep genuine liberals out of power.
Your unshakeable belief in your own moral superiority just stops any progress.

I used to think the same, but try talking to the normal people who voted for him, not the 5% of nutters who are most vocal on here.
Choosing their own money over a woman’s rights is depressing, but it doesn’t make them misogynist.
You’re seriously saying you don’t care about winning back power?

18.11.2024 10:05 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

If nobody is saying it then how do you know it’s misogyny?

I have spoken with Trump voters who said prices were basically their only driver.

Do you think that calling everybody who voted for him misogynists is going to make them question their beliefs, or entrench them?

18.11.2024 08:50 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

That’s not the message I got from people who voted him.

The depressing thing is that they cared more about how much it cost to fill their cars, than the rights of the women in their lives.

Isn’t this nice, I’ve seen posts about cycling without the first 20 comments being from people claiming we’re cockroaches.

Turns out x isn’t representative of the population, who knew.

There is nothing to debate, either you used language wrong or made a wrong assumption.

I was just trying to find out which it is.

Then I realised you were a crypto bro which means logic and reason aren’t your strong points, so there is no point in continuing.

Bye.

Sure, but that’s not the world at large unfortunately.

Racism has become depressingly subjective

Not true - if you’re called a racist you’re not going to get a job etc.

It’s just that people have tried to change what racism is.

15.11.2024 16:31 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I don’t think they are.

Nobody in 2024 wants to be a racist, so rather than changing their behavior they just convince themselves that their behavior is not racist.

15.11.2024 14:57 πŸ‘ 6 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I believe the problem is that they have a definition of β€˜racial hatred’ and we have ours.

The problem is that for them unless they’re literally using the N word, then nothing is racism.
