Heres what I dont get yeah.

These, I dunno, what shall we call them thats PC? Nutjobs, yes, lets go with that.

These nutjobs, who think covid is a scam, global warming is fake, racism isnt real, all that jazz, they mostly tell us not to trust anything, the media lies, the media peddles lies, so my question is, if everybody lies and nobody is to be trusted, how and where do you get your information? Your knowledge, if everything you read is a lie, how do you know whats the truth?
It`s called having intelligence....but it comes in different forms.
There`s nous, common sense, being streetwise etc etc
You could be very intelligent in your own field but totally lacking in the ability to suss wrong `uns or predators out, thereby making you a "mark" and susceptible to all kinds of tom-foolery against your person.

It was a rhetorical question, if you had any of these "nous, common sense, being streetwise", you would have got that.

Some people get very offended by this when you point it out
@Jebus_lives & @Lobster Johnson - I`m trying to answer both of you at once and @verreauxi in a way by proxy - if you want to debate with a bit of civility and without childish wind-ups we can do it.

It’s called being a *offensive word for female genitalia*, actually
 
He’s got Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos on his payroll now. So yeah, surrounded by horrendous people. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the guy needs to be sectioned.

Ye is obviously off his meds and out of his mind at the moment, it’s obvious to everyone.

Fuentes is a scary proposition though. I’ve seen him on various YouTube streams, and the Louis Theroux doc, and think he could end up very popular.

He’s very young, seems smart and articulate. Knows his arguments, and has got good rhetoric. Not to tip my hand too much (!) but the guy can even come across quite personable and likeable.

He can dress his points up in reasonable-sounding language, until you realise you’re in full conspiratorial, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, nazi talking points.

If someone like him gets any serious political power, the U.S could be in trouble.

I’d hope that Ye interview might be a problem for him, as he’s clearly attached himself to Ye for clout, and came across really badly just nodding along with the madness and saying “I agree with Ye” every 5 minutes.
