Political threads


What’s with all the left -right-left- right political threads on a movie forum?
Don’t we get enough of that nonsense everywhere else?

reply

All the threads currently on the first page of GD are entertainment related - except for this one.

It's improved from what it was - when every 2nd post was something politcial. With that and what's still trending, it was too much to take.

Yes, we sure do; but the world is full of angry, isolated and socially maladept people. There is a line in the movie, Avenging Angelo, when Anthony Qinn says to
Sylvester Stallone, “Beware of the one who is in pain, and wants YOU to know it!” That describes the bad energy that permeates these venomous “political” topics. They have as much to do with actual political discourse as jerking off has to do with sex.

Plus, it’s a full moon tonight, so . . . HOOOOOOWWLLL!

Well, that's what General Discussion is all about, and one of the places we can vent.

I partially agree, but then there's people where arguing politics becomes a borderline obsession. Sadly, some folks can't have a decent, civil debate.

Politics bring out the worse in people, especially when its online and anonymous.

I'm sick of seeing Trump and Clinton up in the trending section all the time! I'm also sick of posters like brux making everything political and calling people names.

It's the postmodernist's dream! EVERYTHING is political. It's a normal person's nightmare, of course. Especially in a nation of nitwits like the U.S.

What's funny for me is I don't go "everywhere else," so when I see some yahoo who wants to spit nonsense about lib-tards, I often want to speak up. I don't go to other forums, and I never wanted to use MovieChat for my own political leanings, but the Wrong Wing just keeps Trumpeting how great things are while making HRC and Obama out to be inept crooks. Kinda hard to look the other way when the children are behaving badly and say they are in the right.
