Comment on Are there any good, apolitical right-leaning podcasts out there?
lvxferre@mander.xyz 8 months agoLook at the implications of what yourself is saying and then you’ll notice that your two comments promote right-wing discourses, through your irrationality. What you’re saying effectively is the same as saying one of those two things:
- Right wing discourses are highly convincing for rational people, unlike left wing ones. OR
- People are a bunch of irrationals who can’t “sieve” discourses based on rationality.
This shit is not a taboo dammit. You can - and should - sieve through the statements of any political discourse, between what’s true vs. false or moral vs. immoral. And when you do this with most right-wing discourses, you find so much babble that it’s easy to discard; or at least irreconcilable moral premises. It’s safer than you’re pretending that it is.

Yes, I do. However, please focus on what is being said, not how - I’m saying that treating right-wing discourses as taboo is harmful for the left, it’s shooting our own feet.

It tends to help more with trying to communicate with someone who is slow by spoon feeding them info. It doesn’t always help, case in point, but sometimes.
