Asking College Students if They Know Why They are Protesting

[shack]

That is astonishingly uninformed.

Biden and Trump may be frontrunners, but you have RFK Jr., and Cornel West running as independents.

Any other choices are too trivial to be considered realistic.

You can vote for a slug as well, but Biden or trump is still the binary choice.

Try staying within the realm of reality, not fantasy.

It is a pathetic joke that they talk about holocaust remembrance while committing genocide against Palestine. 35000 killed including 15000 children. The infrastructure bombed into mounds of rubble. Blocking aid and killing journalists and aid workers. To say "never again" while committing these atrocities is the ultimate racist hypocrasy

It was your post that I called off-topic, which was referring to Oracle's post, not Larue's. You can't even keep track of what you are saying anymore. This is once again an off topic post.

My post dealt with the binary question discussion that you and JlaR were engaged in. How could it be off topic. You can't even keep track of what discussions you are engaged in.

There are never binary choices in a democracy because there are a multitude of opinions on any topic.

We are talking about choices, not opinions. They are not the same.

Regardless they are choices available for the voter.

TBH, I don't care who your choice is or what your opinion is. The point is that the American choice, for all intents and purposes, is a binary one. Any you just agreed that they have the choice.

They are NOT joking when they say "Never again". Do you think that they were joking or were they "deadly" serious?

 

[JohnLarue]

That is astonishingly uninformed.

too funny

you were asked

A. what is the value of an informed protestor
vs
B. what is the value of an uninformed protestor

and you replied 'we need both' and later 'the value of a protestor, remains the same whether or not they are informed'

however in the same thread you dismiss Shacks views as uninformed, clearly implying his view as worthless

you are a bullshit artist, who thinks he can always self justify his bullshit and that is of zero value

There are no binary questions in a democracy. Binary questions dont exist.

does night follow day , yes or no ?

the question is the same in Canada as in Communist China

 

[JohnLarue]

There are no binary questions in a democracy. Binary questions dont exist. There are a multitude of opinions, on any topic, always. Protests are also a fundamental democratic tool.

To answer your question, the value of a protestor, remains the same whether or not they are informed. Therefore A and B, have the exact same value and how informed they are, has no bearing on their value, in a democracy.

When you go to vote, you are not questioned whether or not you know about the issues. You may or you may not. But you get one vote the same as everyone else.

When one goes to a protest, their presence counts for exactly the same as someone else whether or not their reasons align with the original reason for which the protest was called for. Whatever the reasons, they are all valid reasons for one to be there.

Now if that is not a straight answer, then what is?

you confuse rights with value

they are not the same

high school test questions requiring selecting A or B as the correct answer occur all the time in a democracy

binary questions appear on the tax return you are required to file

1. did you sell a primary residence in 2023 ?
yes or
no

2. is the information in your tax return truthful ?
yes or
no

3 if giving testimony in court
“Do you Swear that the evidence you shall give the Court shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
yes or
no

4. do binary questions exist in a democracy?
yes or
no

answer : Yes

Sheep have this habit of following each other while vocalizing "Baaa", because only a sheep can recognize another sheep.

uninformed protestors have this habit of following each other while vocalizing "Baaa",

we can recognise an uninformed protestor if they answer the question, 'what are you protesting' with' "speak to the organizer "

I expected something better from you instead of a juvenile response lol

Even scarier, some may become the leaders of the future.

What should be scary for you is the knowledge that nobody under 30 backs zionism and now its just really old people supporting it.

No wonder zionist try to shut down the free press so often.
Al Jazeera in Israel.
Tiktok in the US

You mean the way you can't even understand the basic science of climate change yet keep protesting it?

Nobody expected that to mean 'never again to us, we'll do it to someone else first'.

The students are smart and know why they are there.

So, with Al-Jizz being banned in Saudi Arabia, you are now claiming that SA is a Zionist state. Looney Tunes.

I did not say Shack's views as worthless. I said they were uninformed because he was wrong.

what is the value of a "wrong" view ?

you think you can talk your way out of stepping in your own bullshit
what is defiantly worthless is your disingenuous views / opinions

 

[JohnLarue]

That has nothing to do with democracies or political opinions. Your example is both inappropriate and fails a sanity check.

no no
you stated

There are no binary questions in a democracy.

a plain, blunt and all encompassing statement

questions are not defined by the political system of a country
binary questions are asked every day in a democracy, several examples have been provided

Your example is both inappropriate and fails a sanity check.

translation: Please stop cornering Kautilya using Kautilya's own words

your opinions ae worthless if you can not defend them without your pretzel/ bullshit logic
pretzel/ bullshit logic which you can not keep track of

protestors who are uninformed about the cause , diminish the value of the cause
paid protestors who are uninformed about the cause are defrauding the public for monetary gain
there is likely not a law against this as law makers could not have conceived anyone being so irresponsible
the source of the funds may be a different story

 

[JohnLarue]

It has the exact same "value" as someone who is "right" or factually correct.

wrong

3 if giving testimony in court
“Do you Swear that the evidence you shall give the Court shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
yes or
no

answer no and your testimony is worthless and prohibited

2. is the information in your tax return truthful ?
yes or
no

answer no and you will be audited, fined and possibly jailed

 

[JohnLarue]

It has the exact same "value" as someone who is "right" or factually correct.

i think we have uncovered the root of your problem

you do not distinguish between "right" or "wrong" since they, according to you have the same value

i.e. self justification for any bullshit you post

you are not very bright

if you can’t see the biased and assume that he likely edited out the comments of people who actually knew what they were saying out then you need to reassess your critical thinking skills.
