  • I was a huge Signal advocate at one time and would try to get everyone to install it and use it. Man, woman or child, I didn’t care who it was. I was worse than a crypto-bro trying to jam BTC down everyone’s throat.

    I was chatting with a group of ladies at work and got a few of them to install it. When they did, Signal pushed notifications of them connecting to my wife’s phone.

    Needless to say, I got questioned fairly intensely about why there were other girls connecting with me on Signal.

    I wasn’t very keen on Signal after that.



  • would just get frustrated and throw things.

    Yeah. Most conservatives I know have short tempers and they get extremely carried away when they are in groups. I mean, it doesn’t matter what they are getting mad at, just as long as everyone is getting pissed off at the same time and about someone else or some other ideology. The key point is they believe they are victims of “the system” or “libruls” and not their own bad choices.

    It’s very similar to how Putin is constantly crying about how Russia is a victim of NATO aggression, actually.

    Just tell a person that their way of life is being attacked and that you have all the solutions.(Simplified Hermann Goering quote. Allegedly.)






  • Being a traitor an odd thing to try and define in this case. She really couldn’t be considered the ringleader in distributing misinformation and we probably can’t get proof of any bribery. If anything, she is a victim of state sponsored propaganda. “Victim” is probably too strong of a word here, but it’s possible.

    Regardless, the Dunning-Kruger effect is in full force with that one. If she is commiting crimes, she probably isn’t aware of it.

    I think our differences in views can be explained by my belief that propaganda is a legitimate weapon. (That could probably be debated until the end of time, unfortunately.)
