No I respond to you as a clear anti Muslim poster (at minimum) because your posting history and your clear emphasis on certain issues. Let's call a spade a spade. You are inherently anti Muslim and clearly that's tied to some sort of cultural identity you have as a European. This isn't a one off for you, its actually a consistent trend.
In simpler terms we call it bigotry. No matter how fancy you dress it up or how many stories you post. The entire forum recognizes it as well. The rhetoric and language is pretty familiar and standard book.
You can toss all the links you want to sound sophisticated but you're still pushing the ugly ideology we've all seen.
The subject is the liberal media. Specifically the way that time after time after time they've used the tactic of uncritically broadcasting the stories of some bullsh**tter with a sob story if their story helps push a desired propaganda points.
The fact there has been case after case of these debunked never seems to make any difference. No matter how many fake hate crimes are revealed the liberal media will uncritically broadcast the next sob story without the slightest note of doubt or even of doing anything to verify the story so long as it fits the 'narrative'.
The bullsh**t artists used are of all creeds and colours and both sexes and the liberal media seem to have no shame about using them. That's why people call them 'fake news'.
But, the bullsh**t artists at Breitbart, Drudge Report, and Fox News are just fine, right? You
love those bullsh*t artists, they get English Pete's seal of approval.
You know why nobody takes you seriously? Because you're not interesting and bring nothing interesting to the table. There are a dime a dozen political hacks just like you on this forum as it is, and the only trait that makes you stand out is the sheer depth of your dogmatism. Everybody here has their more hackish tendencies, but you stand out as 100% pure hack. You spout nothing but pure white grievance politics, every post is something about how the liberal media is ruining everything, or how liberals are hypocritical simpletons at best or malicious deviants that are the scum of the earth. You don't care about discussion, you don't care about other perspectives or even the value of differing perspectives. You have no unique insights or novel ideas to share. You are here to broadcast your grievance with liberals and the media and nothing else, that is your sole purpose for being on the forum.
I'm only responding to you because TD is directly addressing your egregious biases. TD is somebody I tend to read every time I come across his posts since he consistently posts insightful commentary. There are others here on the forum from across the political spectrum I read to synthesize their viewpoints. I'm not content with simply circle-jerking to people who agree with me on everything, I want to get other viewpoints to inform my own and modify my beliefs over time. Even Trump supporters, I want to know where they come from and why they feel the way they do.
You, on the other hand, were somebody I put on ignore rather quickly, because I recognized there was little to learn from your perspective. I get a more informative grasp on right wing political opinions from people who aren't you; you're so submerged in your rage and grief with liberal and "liberal media" that you are incapable of thinking of anything political outside the framework of the conservative-entertainment outrage complex. You seethe over liberals telling "false outrage" stories about how some sympathetic individual was attacked by some right wing meanie. Yet you would reflexively howl at the pure evil of liberals if you read about another Fox News story on "the war on Christmas," or some eyewitness account about how a Trump supporter was assaulted while wearing there "MAGA" hat. Have such incidences occurred? Of course, and it's also true that Muslims have been discriminated and profiled and attacked solely because of their religion as well. But not every story is true on the mainstream media circuit, but neither is every story on the right wing media circuit.
That's the crux of your problem: you don't hold your own preferred media to the same standards. Fox News and Breitbart and the like have serious bias and narrative manipulation problems and yet you couldn't care less, despite how blatant it is. No, only "liberal media" bias is a problem, that is a clear and consistent message of your posts. Your standpoint on the matter is so narrow-minded, one-sided, and egregiously partisan that it makes people not care about whatever point you want to make. Why should anybody care to have a conversation with you about liberals and liberal media bias when you and your preferred news sources are such a blatant example of the opposite side of the same coin?
There is a kernel of truth in your messages, but you are an awful messenger to provide it. You make people less sympathetic to your grievances by being such an unremitting partisan hack who has ideologically straitjacketed himself to the point of drivel and frivolousness in his quest to rhetorically drown the left-wing in an avalanche of incessant, one-sided caustic diatribes. You are either a troll or so hopelessly deluded in your own self-righteousness that the substantive difference on the nature of interacting with you is negligible from the former.
