What are you doing when people follow you seemingly from an opposing side on key issues? Do you allow them to stay around? I often wonder at their motives
@slsandpet Always stay in with the outs. Otherwise you have a hermetically sealed feedback chamber
@shal2500 Motives though They could be there to find a way to report you
@slsandpet @shal2500 Or dog whistle for a pile on. They're stalkers not followers.
@DavidEl44221777 @slsandpet @shal2500 Cant be ruled out but defending one’s views is where intellectual challenge happens. We’re all capable of adequately representing our position, aren’t we? #RW challengers,one finds,have been misinformd by #MurdochSewerageCo.& imitators. Exposing biases is very important.#auspol
@CaraMia200 @slsandpet @shal2500 Yeah. There's nothing in their armoury of rationales that logic can't dismember. My attitude is 'have a go y'mug' but mostly I block because they're too boneheaded for any sense to ever get through.
@DavidEl44221777 @slsandpet @shal2500 That is sadly,too frequent Dave. ‘Bubble effect’ of tweeting only w/like minded people can be self defeating. There must be a rational conservative somewhere! They’re thin on the ground in #Twitterverse. Encountering many who simply ‘hate’ Leftists. They’re lost to #RWmedia.
@CaraMia200 @DavidEl44221777 @shal2500 Having a proper discussion is usually not possible
@slsandpet @DavidEl44221777 @shal2500 Pick the right ones but generally, it has to be said, adversaries are far from well informed. Remember, these are ppl attracted to #Dutton’s #Voice destruction on the basis of “Dont know Vote No.” A dispiriting fact,#LNPNeverAgain & their #MediaBaron allies understand. #auspol
@CaraMia200 @slsandpet @shal2500 At the risk of over simplification Fear always features prominently in their perspective.
@DavidEl44221777 @CaraMia200 @slsandpet @shal2500 It’s not over simplification, it’s purely and simple exactly what it is. #PoliticsOfFear It’s Fox derivative has direct lineage back to Roger Ailes and “The plan for putting the GOP back in the news” documentcloud.org/documents/5024…
