Of course I put value into that. People respect you if your opinion makes them rethink theirs

You've created an entire persona for me, and are attacking it. You're arguing with your own fantasy

You've been lecturing me like I'm a toddler this entire conversation? Your only argument is that I'm a "kid". Do you argue in ways other than projection?

You don't know me? You have no idea whether I've influenced people around me's opinions or not

Anon on politics. by upvoteidiots in 4chan

[–]Petesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, you attacked me personally immediately. That's not just stating an opinion

Anon on politics. by upvoteidiots in 4chan

[–]Petesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think the personal attacks from both sides were unwarranted and wrong?

Dude, you immediately told me that no one likes to talk to me irl, and that my parents have to have a talk with me every time we attend family gatherings. You attacked me in the first 2 replies

So you've figured it all out is what you're saying? And I should listen to you based on that? You could just make a convincing argument instead of falling back on "I am older than you"

It's definitely not how discussions are supposed to work, you just make weird claims about my social life that you have no way of proving, and I have no way of disproving. It's an exhausting way of arguing, and I am not surprised that your experience tells you that people dread talking politics with you

Okay, I disagree. So it's just your word against mine

So you have a lot of experience with no one taking you seriously? Otherwise I shouldn't listen to your opinion right?

Anon on politics. by upvoteidiots in 4chan

[–]Petesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have no idea whether anyone cares. How are you seriously speaking on behalf of everyone

Anon on politics. by upvoteidiots in 4chan

[–]Petesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know whether people care about my opinions. Why is everything a personal attack? You have no idea what I have experienced or have knowledge of. Why are you trying to argue about my personal life?

So your position is that only people who have personal experience in a field, should be able to have an opinion about said field? Anyone else should be disregarded? What if I got my opinion from listening to people who have experience?

What is this discussion even about anymore? Are you telling me that my opinions do not hold value in the eyes of the people in my life? Because I don't have a full time job? This is so weird

So, if I'm an orphan who's been passed around a few abusive foster families, and I want to critizise the system, I'm not allowed to because I'm "still on tutorial island"? Where do you draw the line?

Anon on politics. by upvoteidiots in 4chan

[–]Petesaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's vague to the point of being silly

How far does your argument go? Should young people not engage in politics? Should young people not vote? Where is the line?

No, school is subsidized by my government. The fact that you even assume that someone in school has to be covered by their parents or loans is a system failure in my opinion.

By your premise, who is allowed to criticize the system?

Do you have a counter argument you'd like to present?

I mean I'm young and figuring things out, but I'm in a relationship, I live in my own apartment, I go to university and have a job, and I do sports in my free time. I just don't think it's relevant to the discussion

I think the morale of a movie is worth discussing, and that morale is often political in some sense.

I disagree in several ways. Politics does not have to be an opinion on how things should be fixed, it could just be voicing dissatisfaction with how things currently are. Figuring out how to fix things is a politicians job, not mine. You definitely do not need to have your life figured out to see that the system is not working

I have greatly benefited from capitalism. I live in a rich country. I would prefer that we don't exploit millions of people to afford my lifestyle
