Why is American political discourse so infantile?

Leftists are children and everybody else is too afraid to say that.

The internet has allowed the common man to share his opinions with the entire world. The common man isn't very smart.

Stop using words that hard, bitch. Had to google TWICE. Im way too lazy for shit like that, bro.

Younger generation getting their shit heard over the media and the media eating it up.

It's mainly because of Television, which is a visual medium, not a textual one. I HIGHLY recommend Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, really just an amazing book.

Because the media panders to the group of idiots that are able to be easily swayed by such stupidity.

Not sure why the butt is a source of sexiness. It's where poop comes out. And the captcha is annoying, always.

Me:
>Billions of people live on a dollar a day. They'd all prefer to live in Europe or the USA and if given a means to arrive there, they would. We can't take all of them. It's better to help them in their home countries. Allowing economic migrants into our countries is counter productive if your goal is actually to help more people.

The left:
>YOU WANT DEAD BABIES. THE BLOOD OF DEAD BABIES IS ON YOUR HANDS.

This was actually the #1 talking point in Europe after that dead baby photo was pasted everywhere. There was this BBC radio show that blew up in some conservative circles.The host would ask every single called "Do you support more refugees?" and when they said no, he'd berate them in a very smug voice saying "Then you're for dead babies. You like dead babies."

It was the most insufferable thing I've ever heard.

That's the left for you. They boil down their arguments into emotional soundbites and repeat them ad nauseum.

Internet homogenizes otherwise nuanced political opinions.

Because everything has already been said and now we're just repeating ourselves.

Also I'm an assman but that looks fucking repulsive.

The idea is drive supporters away from your opponent rather than attract them to you.

I might just check this one out, anon.

Feels > reals. That's why.

That's actually quite a recurrent topic, Sartori's Homo Videns or Huneeus' La Cultura Huachaca (if you can read Spanish) deal with it too.
