A Surprising Trend I've Noted Recently in the Comments Sections of Mainstream Papers | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 41464754 Russia 06/14/2013 11:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was just trying to say that what appears to you naive and obviously unexperienced teenagers as new and revolutionary movement is in fact same old idiocy. Don't get me wrong I understand your feelings, when I was 16 years old I too thought that ideas and views I liked were extremely revolutionary and that new times are coming in 5-10 years. It's a thing of age, some chemicals in our teenage brains or something. Don't get it all too serious. It may sound banal but truly revolutionary ideas are very rare and hard to get and understand. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36555947 Everyone seems to be on the same page. If we go postal it will not be over nothing and we will not make the first move seems to be the attitude i see setting just below the surface. It's like one big mexican standoff. Give TPTB enough rope they will hang themselfs!! They always have and always will... You can set your clock to it. Humans are a stupid bunch...they never learn. Says something about evolution...We sure havent evolved, just the weapons of destruction... Now now we evolve. It's just 3 steps forward 2 steps back. Like a dance step. What stupid is we dont recognize or at least acknowledge the pattern so that we can break it. |

What a POS. You're getting stupidity from both the left and right, or actually your version of what we in the US label "RINOs." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 718510 United States 06/15/2013 01:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This election is proof of what you are saying. Quoting: Useless Cookie Eater Thread: Pro-Gun Republican Wins Connecticut District for First Time in 40 Years ...and if it follows suit....2014 elections are going to be UGLY for Socialists (and RINOS) SENATORS UP FOR REELECTION IN 2014 [link to www.senate.gov] Elections... LOL How quaint. You'll find this entire system is FAR too perfected to acheive it's primary mission of perpetuating it's own power structure to EVER be even remotely altered by a mere election... Oh sure, you can vote till you're blue in the face, and while you get the 'freedumb' of (s)electing this-or-that candidate, it makes NO DIFFERENCE who gets (s)elected, you ALWAYS arrive right back at the SAME AGENDA. Demoncrat, Republiscum, it matters not. The rhetoric, names and faces change - the course of the ship of state remains 110% right on track. Good luck with that voting nonsense... |
SaveUSa User ID: 37256203 United States 06/15/2013 01:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Whilst reading stories recently that have anything remotely to do with the government, on both sides of the pond, I have noticed in the comments sections of the DailyFail, Torygraph and (the baned paper starting with a G) a remarkable trend where the top rated comments are the views that you would see on GLP. Quoting: Tanos People that don't believe the lies, propaganda and everything they are spoon fed. I have truly wondered whether the population as a whole are actually starting to wake up. Of course there are still people who refuse to even question anything but the growing trend does seem to be an enlightened one. I've noticed especially now with Snowden and the blatant smear campaign going on. People have surprised me in a good way. Has anyone else noticed this? Yes. And it will grow exponentially in the coming months. Karma will be a bitch when critical mass is achieved in this regard. Within the surreal depths of "reality" lies the truth. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 19198791 United Kingdom 06/15/2013 06:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Funny you should notice that OP. So have I. In fact, everyone I meet in person - EVERYONE - now sounds like a rational 'conspiracy' wonk. It's amazing. With no prompting at all, ordinary people will just launch into stuff about 'the illuminati', ETs, how corrupt our authorities are, how disconnected governments are, how nazi the EU is etc,. I just listen and think 'WOW How come so many people just woke up and started questioning things?!' If I were TPTB I'd be getting a little worried and start watching my back. Oh wait. They are. But the only good way out of all this is to start treating all ordinary people well and ethically. Otherwise it's all headed for a global conflagration - and nobody, but nobody, will ever win that. Tears before bedtime time...make your mind up to start playing nice! |
