Here we go with the Tims trying to rally people to hate me. I noticed you didn't call anything I said a lie or wrong. No, you hid behind muH AnTi-SeMiTiSm 

The problem is the truth is hateful to YOU people. You hide behind a victim complex that says nobody is allowed to notice or call you jews out on your bullsh1t. 

I don’t want anyone to hate you. That’s your shtick, getting people to hate, not mine. I wish people would condemn your words and then ignore you. Other than that, I feel sorry for you. I don’t know under what circumstances you became deluded and filled with bigotry but they probably weren’t pretty. I hope you educate yourself and otherwise seek some help. 

As to your “facts”, pinning all of America’s problems on Jewish ownership and/or control of our institutions- they are so obviously bullsh!t to any reasonable person that they’re not worth exploring.

You are calling people to cancel me, here at FFT of all places. I know your jew tricks worked at footballgheys but not here. I'm sure most people here don't agree with me. Most have their head in the sand screaming greatest ally. that's fine. Slowly they will start to notice, ask questions. 

I 100% believe people like you are actively destroying America. Your terrible policies, and worse your constant attacks on free speech are disgusting.

 

I don’t want to force anyone to silence you. If somebody tried I would gladly fight on your behalf for your right to say what you want. I wish people would condemn and ignore you of their own accord. Thats what you don’t understand about free speech. 
 

You also have no understanding about Jews and Israel. As many who read me here are aware I am not exactly a supporter of the current government of Israel. But you appear to be incapable of considering Jews as individuals rather than a group, with individual opinions and goals. That’s part of the disease of anti-Semitism. I hope someday you’re cured of it.

As for the OP question: I honestly believe that the biggest threat to this country is that roughly half the nation now distrusts the mainstream media. This is about 20% the fault of the MSM, which has made mistakes, reported false news at times (rarely) and has tended to ignore reasonable conservative concerns. But it is 80% the fault of conservatives themselves who, especially in the Trump era, have used legitimate concerns with the MSM as an excuse to believe falsehoods and accept lies whenever it suits them.

Nonsense.  The MSM is overwhelmingly Leftist, by just about every measure.  It’s not even debatable.  That you can’t see it makes you lose every ounce of credibility.

These ignorant and hateful comments don’t offend me nearly as much as the fact that no one here has condemned them. I don’t believe that most of the posters here are anti-Semitic, so I don’t understand why you tolerate this guy and treat him like he’s a normal person to have a conversation with. 

every time you post, your stupidity offends me. 

Did it ever occur to you that people often ignore comments on message boards?..., or don't take them seriously?... or don't take the person seriously / think they are worth responding to? 

Notice how you were to only one to quote him? Crying because no one else quoted him to condemn him 

I rarely ever respond to Weepaws schtick.  Why do you get so butt hurt over cdub?

woah.  forget my last post completely and focus on this one.   I didn't realize you were so out of touch with reality.  Unless this is your schtick or you are trolling.  Every single part of your post is a fallacy.  

The biggest threat to this country was the deceitful  MSM and thankfully, more people are starting to open their eyes. It's closer to 100% the fault of the media (which is 80% liberal).  

Mistakes implies unintentional. Yikes.  Still have the wool over you eyes huh?   "rarely" report false news.... 

Liberals get fed nothing but lies from their media and eat it up, day after day. That's why you all supported Biden and his photographic memory and his super sharp faculties until the 11th hour debate meltdown. Then you lined up like sheep to support the candidate that was put in front of you. Not the one you ever voted for. Talk about a threat to democracy

Which primary did Kamala win?

and VP's are not voted for. Unless you want to use the poor argument that you voted for Biden AND Harris, even though Harris was chosen as VP AFTER Biden won the primary.

It really has nothing to do with the post you were responding to. But as I wrote at the time, the Democratic Party is a private organization. They can choose a Presidential candidate by any means they wish. If you don’t like how the candidate was selected, you don’t have to vote for him or her.

The "Fake News" moniker started by Donald Trump.  He said that his goal in using the term "Fake News" was to get the public to not believe any news story that was critical of him even though it was true.  Any time there was negative news he would just call it "Fake News" and if you repeat a lie enough times then people will believe you and that's exactly what happened.

Now anytime there is any negative news on Donald Trump his followers just say it's fake and they believe whatever news they want.

It is certainly a dark time when we have half of the public that doesn't believe in the truth.

china.... followed by DEI/woke 

Those were my two, and I went with China because it is a more tangible threat.

Whoever voted for global warming should have voted for China instead.  I heard recently that China creates more air pollution than the US, India, and Russia combined.  They are building a new coal plant every day or something crazy like that.  The climate alarmists' unwillingness to address China is yet another signal that they don't truly care, much like their unwillingness to invest in nuclear energy.  It's a cult built for thought control, not an existential threat.

Tim still thinks Biden has super sharp faculties.

I rarely spent time at FBG, but the one thing I remember about Tim there was his steadfast belief in the MSM, despite the overwhelming and obvious evidence to the contrary.  You are pissing into the wind trying to convince him otherwise.

Our news coverage has become propaganda though.  As much as I can't stand Trump and his schtick, he's not completely wrong about the media.

I actually have been pretty critical of the MSM in recent times and I’m willing to acknowledge their flaws. 

But in the end I don’t see any alternative. The idea that everyone will simply seek out their own news source and believe whatever appeals to them is unacceptable to me. We’ve already seen the awful results of that- today is the 4 year anniversary. There is, IMO, no alternative for a stable society to having news reporting that almost everyone accepts. Therefore the MSM has to succeed.

No one cares what’s unacceptable to you.

If only it was just a political thing. Our divisions are stoked by politics and media, but differences in education and income, the incredible rate at which new technology is emerging, and the coming social and economic storm that AI is beginning to stir up will exacerbate the threats we're already seeing.
