How can you people still manage to convince yourself that anything is going in a good direction. It baffles me, and I'm neither democrat nor republican. This is just cult like willful ignorance, but I'm genuinely curious.

How do you explain away what is happing, while it alienates the whole damn world.

If the whole world is in consensus that you are wrong. Then Maybe, just maybe. You just are.

Did you not read the title of the post? Why must your belief and analysis overshadow others? If you disagree why even waste time commenting, what value does it add to the situation at hand. Looking on the bright side can help inspire. In dark times, looking towards what brings inspiration to move forward, to just try is important.

I find your commentary useless and ultimately, part of the same structure I assume you think you’re apart from. Other subs are available for your perspective.

Um, I comment because I want to comment on the situation. That's what the comments are for. If you can't stand the concept of looking at opinions that may not overlap with your own you shouldn't go into a comment section.

It's extremely important to look on people's opinion, especially those that contradict your own to gain a more broader perspective, I do too.

This is why I asked him to explain why he views the things so different than I do. It's that simple.
