Consider the source you just linked to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Callaghan
Nope, I will not. These accusation real or not, have absolutely no impact over what the people he is interviewing have to say. I'm not literate enough to name it, but I'm quite sure your reply is a form of intellectual dishonesty.
No, just a suggestion you don’t use a sexual predator as a source or send views to his YT channel. Surely if what you’re saying is true, you have other sources that back up your assertion, right?
You are being awfully defensive. I didn’t even criticize what you were saying, I just asked you to consider the source you were linking to. But hey, if you want to rock the “I support sexual predators” thing, you do you.
Dude reread this whole thing. When did they say they support sexual predators? Do you even notice what you're doing?
They were trying to learn about what makes folks disregard Jill Stein as a third party candidate as a viable contender for president of the US.
If you were intentionally trying to make them feel dumb and yourself feel smart, this would be an excellent strat, but I'm inclined to think you don't believe you're doing that. You probably wish to educate people about things you know. All I'm saying, is this ain't the way
Again, super sorry if my tone sucks. I'm specifically talking productive discourse. I don't think that includes branding someone a sexual predator for sharing a link to an interview. We've fully jumped the shark here
I've noticed lately there is this sense of superiority going around of good sources and like think is all that matters and bullying is completely acceptavle forms of proving you are morally superior.
I don't get it. I don't get the outcome they expect but I think it is likely more about their own dopamine and sense of self they are trying to protect at all costs.
The world is rough and it's easy to just be dismissive and cruel especially when you are sure you are doing it for the right reasons.
I think maybe you’re not even responding to the right thread? This was someone posting to a video, not asking questions. And the video was sourced from someone who has several sexual assault complaints against them.
Alright you're not being honest and you clearly don't care. That's fine. I'm sorry to have bothered you
And you’re delusional and won’t admit when you made a mistake. Have a nice day
