Nobody Reads Anything Before they Start Posting Replies

[braalian]

Those that try to divert the subject, debate solely with 'whataboutisms',

This constitutes, like, 85% of the posts on these boards

I have come across this startling phenomena here many times now. I will post a link to an article I find interesting, along with a little commentary or opinion, then people start replying. It is quite obvious from the replies themselves that many people who respond did not read the linked article or my commentary prior to responding. They are responding to the headline. Then it gets even more retarded.

The leftists here will bring up Trump in just about every Politics or Current Event post, even if the linked article and commentary both have absolutely nothing to do with Trump. The leftists/Dems have defined the entire world and all of existence into a binary: you are a Trumper or you are a non-Trumper. Sometimes they will brave the flow and elaborate between Trumpers, Never-Trumper, and anti-Trumper. But the more they stray from the simple, the more stupid they look. So they tend to stay with the binary. Essentially, they are like animal intellectually.

So first, they figure out what side you are on. If they define you as a Trumper, then they immediately call out your Trump allegiance and accuse you of being a Russia sumpathizer ( or a bot). It is a Pavlovian response. At this point they cannot even help themselves. They just do it and don't know why. And they will respond like this regardless of the subject matter. You could post about menstruation and someone is going to bring up Trump. It is absurd and obnoxious.

In the final station of stupidity, the lefties will start hurling insults. I suspect they all have some sort of source from which they get these insults because they all look and sound the same. They are pretty lame too. If you think that having some anonymous nobody on the interest tell me that in snarky fashion that I am stupid, ignorant, gay, a homophobe, a bigot, or whatever, then you have got a long way to go in your endeavor to give me a Don Rickles style beatdown. a LONG way to go. I have stopped replying to that shit to a large degree. You can "own" me with your links to Daily KOS and Mother Jones all you want. I don't care.

true. ..
