How often do you read stuff you disagree with? You don't want to turn into an American who thinks everyone who disagrees with him is an irrational liberal/bigot/cuck who's out to destroy society do you?
How often do liberals, SJWs and tumblrinas read stuff that disagrees with them without resorting to namecalling, demanding safe spaces, and demanding an end to free speech by calling it hate speech?
>>8021173
It's fine if I'm reading something like Aristotle or Nietzsche or whatever, but reading for example the newspaper makes me break stuff so I tend to refrain from that.
>>8021194
Op included the word "bigot", implying the question was directed both ways.
>>8021194
>How often do liberals, SJWs and tumblrinas
Well that was quick.
>>8021206
What was quick?

>>8021194
yes don't try to be better than people you think are in the wrong, just sit there screaming about it
>>8021210
Your mom. To suck my dick.

>missing the point
>>8021214
Thanks for quoting the OP, but that doesn't help much.
Regularly. Can't live in an echo chamber.
I do read Gawker Media websites, Rolling Stone, Vice, and other left-wing tabloids, but only via archive.is.
>>8021227
I'm not trying to defend people usually included in said groups, but delimitating them as all stupid people and wrong about everything (which, by reflection, makes you right) is the toxic behavior, this splitting and 'taking sides'.
>>8021244
You're reading more into that post than is there, LOL.
>>8021244
*delimiting
>>8021244
There are actually some SJWs that I like, even if they're retarded and wrong about lots of things.
>>8021256
>that I like
Wrong attitude again. Don't ask 'do I agree with this?', ask 'why is this?'
>>8021244
>being this afraid of affirming your own moral, phyiscal, intellectual and spiritual superiority
ardently right wing but I'm doing a political economy degree
all of my assigned readings are left leaning and I pretend to be a Marxist when I write essays
>>8021259
You can obviously do both.
>>8021277
It would be better were I nothing and everyone superior to me.
>>8021215
This right the fuck here.
>>8021277
Nice rhetorical flair there faggot, bet you did great in rabbinical school.
I am superior to these "people" because I know I am, on an essential level.
>>8021284
Thanks for adding to the discussion.
Not a day passes without something being declared racist, imperialistic, homophobic, transphobic, etc. Exactly these people should read something outside of their echo chambers. It's those who demand that people should be more open towards each other segregate themselves.
>>8021292
This claim is true, and it's specifically based on reading materials that said people have written.
>>8021285
You now that appeal to sentimentality and intuition is also rhetoric right? Every discussion is rhetoric in some way.
>>8021297
Yes, that is why I've come to exalt violence.
>>8021297
know*
I'm not afraid that my eyes passing over some words will transform me.
>>8021313
You should be pleased by it, IMO.
I try to do that on a daily basis, it's one of the core tenets of my life. My opinions and ideas are worthless if they can't withstand the impact of every part of my life, including that which is opposite to them. I routinely read /pol/, /r9k/, SJW sites, the speeches of those politicians I abhor, communiques of organizations whose members I'd like to kick in the ribcage, the futile words our society keeps throwing into the maw of our hyperkinetic society, the immortal phrases of philosophers I adore and hate.
It's the only way you can do justice to yourself and your beliefs, otherwise you become a festering, piss-ridden hole of idiotic arrogance.
This is why non-American culture never catches on. Their bait tastes terrible.

Then why is anime so popular?
>>8021345
I would be if I wasn't a miserable bitch.
>>8021362
It's not mainstream popular. So, if you want a medium length straw to grasp, hopefully that is enough.
>>8021368
It's shown on multiple major TV channels regularly so it's definitely mainstream popular.
>>8021378
Congratulations on your popularity.
>>8021378
It's not shown on CBS at 8pm.
>>8021395
Neither are a lot of mainstream things.
>>8021431
Yes, a lot of mainstream things are not mainstream.
Well, since I'm on 4chan, I read plenty of shit that I disagree with. Doesn't bother me in the slightest. Some of it's actually kind of funny.
Anyone who gets seriously offended when they see words they don't like needs to reexamine their life.
>>8021173
Where you from, senpai?
>>8021173
Nice b8

>How often do you read stuff you disagree with?
Every time I come to this site.
>You don't want to turn into an American who thinks everyone who disagrees with him is an irrational liberal/bigot/cuck who's out to destroy society do you?
No. I'm actually terrified of the possibility, though. My own father seems to have a bit of the "if you disagree with me politically you're not only wrong, you're immoral" in him, and I resemble him in many ways already. Most of them good, but not always.
