Title: How polarised is the world? How polarised are you?
Post by: Philipkee on Sep 03, 2024, 10:24 AM
Discussed some topics on edmw and with people irl and I realise more and more it's harder to share topics

Not that we cannot chat but it's like people already have set mindset and biases to the point that chatting is more like a way to pass the the time than an exchange of ideas

Of cos I also wonder maybe I am also polarised

So more and more I stop discussing contentious topics with people cos they won't want to learn and to an extent I feel they recite propaganda to me so I don't listen which makes me think I am guilty of what I say others are guilty of

Any examples?? I'm quite open to many topics

I believe in the saying that every argument/discussion should be progress for all and not victory

Palestinian - israeli conflict.  Who is right?

Should we spank children?

Should we have nuclear power in Singapore?

Trump vs Kamala.  Who do you support?

Imo, no right or wrong on those topics unless you already have a fixed answer and intend to convince the party to side with you

1. Both are in the wrong because both refuse to give way.
2. No, because parents only wanted to enjoy the good sex they had. The child didn't ask to be born.
3. No, looking at how sg govt agencies always operate in a reactive manner.
4. Trump. there was peace during his first term.
5. To me our govt no good. Always resorting to low hanging fruits, such as increasing taxes and importing more fts without any other better solutions to improve the economy.
6. No good. Gst vouchers and other subsidies cause more price hikes.

1). I disagree but I agree the conflict will never end

2) Point taken.  I think spanking is correct when used judiciously but usually people go overboard

3). Agree with you

4). Agree with you but looking more at stock prices 😂

5). I think it is good but good is relative so agree to disagree

6). Agree with you and also the vouchers seem to be a blunt instrument than a sharp instrument

Just look at covid discussions in hwz edmw...

Just having a reasonable discussion only, they have to find under-handed and petty ways to de-platform us just to silence us...

Funny now they all scare to update latest mRNA jabs lolololol.... :s13:

My fren told me abt border conflict
It s one land
One group of ppl fr same ancestry
Of course they thk they have same rights to want 100% of that land
Either they exist tgt in peace or they self destruct in war (now)
So ppl stupid : game theory
Collaborate+collaborate : max total gain
Antagonistic +antagonistic : max total loss
Who gain: those who make weapons gain everyone else loses
Ppl who want to mk new wars gain cos nobody free to come n control me

Bff and me were talking abt kashmir pk vs India
He told me
Ur house ur "family" owned it since ur great Great grand Father Time
unfortunately along the ancestry one of yr great uncles had a rs with one foreigner
Foreigner bore yr family a heir.
They left cos of abuse n can't live on in peace

The boy grew into strong nation never forgetting that he has a stake cos great grand pa promised every male child an inheritance to his property.
His children comes back but the main house children non foreigner dislike them coming fr nowhere
Who wrong ? Both aren't wrong

Who gets the land ? Both should get the land
But !
Main family believed in a book called scriptures and
Foreign boy also have a scripture
Both scripture says they r heir to this land .
How to not fight ?
Everyday fighting no end.
The better child will stop fighting n move elsewhere but nobody is better

Palestinians u know who will support la sg not homogenous country and the woke young gen will support this and lgbt due to social media influence and western influence rather than the fact Hamas committed genocide first. Anyway none of my business i mouth say this right that right but they too far away from me don't feel any connections to them. I dunno why some ppl in edmw will so agitated /committed to spam propagandas even resort to harass and mass report others as if they have any connections :D
Nothing to discuss with the edmwers actually

Even before this woke bs movement, many in sg already heck care about politics and current affairs. Woke movement only worsen it

Those ppl are most likely to be losers irl who are overlooked in their everyday life. Nobody paid them any attention so they seek validation in forums

Just remember everyone is different.
On top so many countries in the world, so many races, so many religions,

The whole world is not yet One world and doubt can ever be, led by so many
types of leaders in each country influencing the people living inside.
