    I don’t think I’m unique at all, in fact I know I’m not. Humans are pretty predictable because of the fact we are not unique.

    However your assertion that I’m contrarian because I’m not supporting the dogpile, is simply an assertion that my position is anti popular in it’s goal. And further you are assuming that the group think going on right now is the popular opinion amongst general society.

    And while I would not be so bold to claim that “all of the media” is on this dogpile, I would ask if that is more a reflection of the media you choose to embrace, rather than the sentiment of general society.

    Finally I’m not going to fall for the trick of claiming I’m some flakey fence sitter because I “failed to choose a side”, because I never claimed to be on Kissinger’s. I just don’t like this dogpile, it seems disingenuous to me. So someone needs to call it out.

    I pointed out the huge amount of group think going on with this subject right now because the only opinions being expressed, and certainly the only being supported in this circle are those whom advocate to portray Kissenger as the devil.

    I already said I’m not a fan of Kissenger and I disagree with pretty much all of his policies, but that opinion notwithstanding, the level of vitriol going on at the moment is nothing more than dogpiling using populist pandering and someone should at least call it out.

    In the past few hours the feed has been full of this crap.

        And you’re the cliche regurgitator of other’s opinions without adding content to discussion.

        In case that was unclear. You’re the type of person who interrupts a discussion to go “oh yeah what that other person said”, because you think it gains favour, cannot add value to a discussion and feel the need to be heard for you own self indulgence.

        Are we done with irrelevant posts yet or should we go on?

          Did you get that quote from somebody who had just been listening to you talk? And then misunderstood and thought they meant the other person?

            Unlike yourself I don’t need to take other people’s words and regurgitate them. Nor do I need cheap parlour tricks like inserting what I wish to argue against as the premise of my argument.

            That was kind of the point. Sorry it was too nuanced for you.

            Let me simply.

            You are adding no value to this discussion because your comments are irrelevant and superficial.

      You have an insufferable personality and you’re not as profound as you think you are.
