Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

So you`ve gone down the rabbit hole then!
You`re reasoning/assumptionising is wacko.
The reason i don`t buy walkers crisps isn`t because in hate Leicester or Gary Spinaker, i don`t buy them because they`re crap.

Worcestershire sauce ones are decent

I`ve been wised up now Joe. Those heavily salted snacks might appear innocent but they`re backed by a George Soros subsidiary so i`m out.

Mad a hatter

Completely effed in the head. Frightening to think people like this can vote.

Enjoyable how it lost it on a 'i do my own research' slip up

From Kubrick to crisps, Chomp-sky like depth of knowledge

The maddest thing I think is when people like this try arguing with experts in their field like he has done on climate change.
There are often people who post on these pages that I kinda disagree with but are clearly well read and experienced in the subject matter so unless I wanted to do a tonne of my own research (like read academic research and primary sources) then I just leave them to it as I’m out my depth.
We live in an age where people can pick up their phone and watch some videos and think they have an understanding of extremely complex subject matter.
Takes years of hard work to be able to critically analyse published research yet millions of dolts think they can sit on their arse and watch a few YouTube videos catered for what they want to believe, and they think they are a knowledge source in this field.

In one corner, there is someone who has sacrificed an incredible amount of time, money and their personal life to get a PHD, study an incredibly complex subject for 8 years, submit a peer reviewed thesis and be a recognised expert in their field.

In the other corner we have a drunken cat-murderer who has admitted to being arrested numerous times and forcing his child to do PCP with him. He gets all his information from Youtube.

It's a tough one, it really is

Do you support restricting who can vote then? Or just giving an opinion?

There’s millions like him. It must be insanely frustrating for the people that actually know their [Poor language removed].

Tbf, I think Jimmy was saying we should round them up and liquidate them

I doubt they come into much direct contact with them though, they are probably too smart to engage with someone like GOT's Father of the Year

That's the way I read it, yes
