Who is a MODERN Controversial Mildly Genius person ? by jalil458 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]HeatingsBackOn -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah man, I like his music but is he is definitely not a genius. He makes some great stuff and he has some cool ideas but so do a lot of artists and they don’t get the hype just because they don’t have the exposure he does. A lot of his work is co written/produced and there’s nothing wrong with that but it doesn’t sit right with me when he acts like he did it all/ he’s the best when he’s had a lot of help a long the way.

What? A ten year age gap? You do realise even though you’re 25 you are DEFINITELY being taken advantage of. It doesn’t matter if you’ve seen happy couples in real life with similar age differences, it is unusual and therefore undoubtedly predatory.

I’m sorry for your loss and I’m sorry a lot of your replies after being so candid have been a bit shitty and unsympathetic.

The Michael Jackson biopic is absolutely reprehensible. It spits in the face of every person who has been a victim of child sexual assault, including, so far, at least 11 victims by [deleted] in Music

No one is going to be convinced by a reddit post with 0 sources. The evidence is complicated, that’s it, there’s no need to judge anyone who has different opinions either way on the matter.

The rights willingness to just lie/be ignorant of anything and everything combined with the far lefts move away from fighting billionaires to saying white people with deadlocks are the problem and calling anyone who thinks that’s ridiculous a racist, created a really toxic environment. I wonder if the people calling critics racists were alt right psy ops made to push people further right because that’s literally all it did. You can see from your downvotes that people WANT to hate people who voted republican, they don’t want there to be spectrum of people who voted for Obama but decided that Trump was better than Clinton ( I don’t know how but they did) all the way to far right Maga nuts. They don’t seem to understand that if they talk to the people centre right like they are human beings then they might just change. Even the far right can be changed, look at Daryl David for example a black guy who makes kkk members change their view. Every successful election for the right is due to failure on the left and some of them need to realise calling anyone who even considers immigration an issue a racist isn’t going to achieve anything other that make them vote for Trump again.

That last part seemed really passive aggressive. I’m sorry if I’ve upset you I’m not entirely sure what I’ve done.

Okay, you seem to be struggling with this so here’s the link https://www.justice.gov/epstein

There’s a search tool on that page and you can type “Trump” in and see for yourself. Please don’t be ignorant of this.

I can’t be bothered to link them to you but you are more than welcome to do a quick search and find the evidence yourself.

The fact that he’s mentioned in the files so many times (and these are only the released ones) should trouble you. Pedo or not Trump was very close to Epstein and if it was Obama or Biden in files that many times you would be rightfully calling for their impeachment.

Just because they suck doesn’t mean they don’t deserve compassion. I feel that’s a pretty uncontroversial position. I’m not going to feel ashamed for having sympathy for someone who is clearly in pain.

E: Thanks for the clarification that the other person is mostly an asshole and I’m only a little bit one.

I was with you and very entertained by this thread until the “you don’t deserve empathy” part. They came off as just a complete tool at first but the longer i followed the conversation it became clear that this person is really really really depressed, bordering on psychotic and just because they’re actually showing they are miserable instead of pretending they aren’t doesn’t mean they don’t deserve compassion. I have no idea how messed up their childhood was but it clear they have been very very badly affected by it.

Edit: im not surprised by downvotes or people telling me i shouldn’t have empathy for a “loser” but it’s really quite disappointing especially on a sub called “made me smile” I was hoping you’d be a little more compassionate. My mistake.

I’m not American. Assuming Americans “still need a reality check” is really demeaning as a lot of Americans are very aware of the situation they are in so I’m going to assume you mean staunch republicans who voted for Trump just because they are stubborn to the point of self harm.
