I don't concern myself with those who can't do their own critical thinking.
What you do is not critical thinking at all. I don't think you've ever read up on that. What you do is not in any way better than Trump and his minions do. It's just polemics with no substance whatsoever.
Critical thought is when you take a random shitposter's orders and don't make your own decisions.
Sure, make the world your own.
I'm not claiming to be doing any critical thinking with any of the posts I've made in this thread. I'm saying that anyone reading that shit should add that opinion to their personal collection of information and make their own decisions on what to do with it.
For example, you took that information and decided to piss and moan. That's your choice, I'm not judging.
Most other people, with the "common sense" you speak of, nodded and kept scrolling.
In any case, if you find yourself in america and you hear somebody fucking around at your window and maybe you're not white, you can decide what to do with all that gathered information you've been collecting.
