Is /pol/ able to have a level-headed discussion with someone who has a different political view than them?
Why do a lot of you just reply with "cuck", ((())), "shill" and other buzzwords, memes, and shitposts instead of engaging in a debate?
Has this place become a hugbox? What's the deal?
>>77953192
Nope.
(((OP)))
FUCKING
I love arguing with autism.
what is there to debate? Jews are evil incarnate and liberals are just good goys unknowingly bringing on the jewish downfall of civilization through their cuck ways
>>77953192
You're ignorant and have no practical knowledge of what you're arguing against.
Would you like to argue against that Fuccboi
>>77953192
(((OP))) is a cuck shill LEAF.
>>77953192
>hugbox
No.
Echochamber.
Find the door, please.
So here we are, waiting for the theme to discuss to arrive. Any ideas, OP?
>>77953192
Your cynical outlook is disenchanting. You should view it more upon as free bumps to keep your thread relevant.

/pol/ is full of angry children (and man-children) because they're failures at life, that's why I'm a reddit missle

The deal is you're a faggot

Are you happy?

Up to you
You might have better luck on a heavily moderated board in reddit where the "wrong" opinion gets you permanently banned.
real talk though... if you can't hack it here, there might be a chance that uh, you know.... you might actually be wrong. Sorry about violating your safe-space.

Thanks friend

>Is /pol/ able to have a level-headed discussion with someone who has a different political view than them?
No, if you have a different opinion than them than according to them you can only be a Jew, Muslim or paid shill.

Reddit is worse though, but I didn't argue that this place didn't value free speech at all, in fact, it does.
But if I were to post something that goes against the /pol/ meta, instead of you seeing an ""intellectual"" debate, there a better chance of you being shitposted into oblivion. Case in point are some of the replies already, and I don't care if they're ironic or not.

>Posters here are not very mature. I'm going to imagine most are 15 - 20 years old and vent anger through racist memes and echo their foolish sentiments. It's to make up for social/personal shortcomings and insufficiencies. They're mainly parrots of irrelevant web personalities like Gavin McInnis who don't put any critical thought into their political viewpoints. If they hear something that conforms to their particular prejudice, they just regurgitate it and feel like uLtRa eLitE underground REBEL INFORMED political thinkers, when in reality they are sad little children or man-children with nothing going for them, and who exist and know who they are only by trying to knock others down. It's sad for them, really truly sad
unlike all those sophisticated, mature boards like /b/, /v/, /mlp/ and /sp/
T. A fucking (((leaf)))
>>77954331
is because all the shitpost like BTFO, people now ignore or just make fun of those so discussion is not possible any more
>>77954636
>>77954636
I guess so, instead of it being de jure censorship, it's de facto

>Is /pol/ able to have a level-headed discussion with someone who has a different political view than them?
No. It was at one time before the shilling, sliding, and trolling slowly overtook this entire website between 2012 and 2015.
>Why do a lot of you just reply with "cuck", ((())), "shill" and other buzzwords, memes, and shitposts instead of engaging in a debate?
Because it's easier to keep people divided, manipulated, and on-edge when provoking replies based on an emotional, kneejerk "sense of urgency lest you be wrong" level rather than an intellectual, slow paced, "plenty of time to think things through with rationality" level.
>Has this place become a hugbox?
No, more like a cesspool.
>What's the deal?
This is just one of many websites being shilled by several corporations, individuals, and (I know this is hard to believe) government agencies in an attempt to manipulate, monitor, and psychologically profile internet users.

Why did you make a thread if you have nothing to talk about? Perhaps the problem is you, not everyone else.

As much as we all hate neo-austrailia, his non-stop shitposting is actually kind of a service to this board.... it reminds us just how stupid people can actually get, even as we retreat here to this "fake world" to engage in real talk in order to avoid dealing with the "real world" that is full of fake talk.
/pol/ has always been a joke. Only now that reddit invaded, it's not even funny anymore.
>>77955133
The topic is in my post, and as you can see, I am engaging in the conversation with people in the thread as well
>>77955529
Yeah, it's really deep
>>77955797
As opposed to other threads currently up on this board? I guess so
>>77953192
Because it is impossible to reason with idiots who cannot reason proficiently. We are moving towards an ostracization stage that will backlash on all progressive sympathizers. Shaming is a powerful tool as we've seen them dismantle our civilization by hiding the truth with disingenuous logic (rationalization).
We are running out of time spinning our wheels with the enemy in their detached from reality, self constructed logical arguments (yes they use logic to rationalize).

Thanks for helping push up the standard with your unique insights.

How can you bitch about pol being a "hugbox" or echochamber, when this autistic leaf shilled for Obama for months on end?
You're just a whiny little bitch
>>77956289
No problem?
>>77953192
Because we don't want to debate lefties anymore. We have literally BTFO of every emotional arguing point your side has ever made. Also, we are waiting for the debates so we can get some more dank memes going.
>>77954331
>refuse to engage us as soon as your feelings get hurt and promptly bow out of the discussion
>b-but you're the ones avoiding the issues!
Don't play this bullshit game, you're just trying to turn the table on us because your arguments fall flat whenever you don't have a parental moderator figure to eliminate people that don't agree with you 100%
>>77956512
This. We need to stop them in their tracks and call out this passive aggressive rationalization bullshit for what it is. Talk shit, get hit. Alpha wolves are done letting the pups play.
