Can you give us a sense of his personal life. Married? Divorced? Single? Type of job? Length of employment?
Bc I get the sense that he’s desperately lonely. And combined with a less than accomplished intellect (there’s a legit question as to whether he’s capable of abstract thought) you get someone susceptible to this brand of vapid thinking. Makes him part of the crowd who’s “in the know” and are the only ones capable of seeing the world for what it is without doing any of the heavy lifting.
def deserves it, I’m 33 now so it was long time ago. This was around the time where most of the 2p2 pols were libertarian and i picked it up there I’m pretty sure, it sounds great when you are 20.
perpetually single since 18-19 as far as i know, hes 31. He works in a typical office job, smaller office less than 50 people i think. sometime after he left UA i helped him get a job at the company i work at now, he got let go a few years after that when AT&T shutdown work for half a year and we lost about half our staff or more. He was in the first group of people let go though due to some problems he had with some other people that worked there at the time. After that he bounced around to some lower paying jobs, landed the contract job with another wireless company that talked about earlier, supposedly didn’t get renewed because of obama care, got brought back later again for a year long contract, now works the last 2-3 years for an engineering company that does analysis/drawings for wireless install through a connection with someone that used to work with both of us.
edit: I have no doubt that it comes from that, i’ve suggested lots of things to him but he thinks im a moron so…
yes in all seriousness, i have suggeste in the last few months even in the last couple of days he should see someone. I think he told me “i dont see someone to tell me who i am”
in all honesty i think he was mostly here to get a rise out of me and i blocked him on facebook and cell 2 nights ago after he dropped some homophobic slurs and laughed about it so not sure he will be back
I think it’s good to read these things just so you can know your enemy.
From the beginning, he had no respect for the truth. Years ago, we’d call him a troll. Now, we just call him a conservative.
These people are simply not worth engaging on an intellectual level as replies imply that you have respect for their opinions. You’re actually working to respond and debunk their arguments while they have no interest in your efforts. They post one sentence. You post an essay. They ignore your essay and post another sentence which you respond to with an essay. They post a sentence on a different topic and it goes on and on like that.
Any response beyond ‘lol go fuck yourself’ is a waste of energy. You might think you’re dunking on them but they don’t care about being right or wrong. They care about triggering the libs and that’s exactly what they’re doing when you get suckered into replying to them.
