Have you noticed the people on here that live in an echo chamber of their beliefs, are also the most misinformed?

[Anonymous]

Mainly people that delete any comment that challenges them. Just yesterday, a person notorious for deleting comments, told two lies!

#1) This person said the LA fired were started by power lines, contrary to what Trump said and Trump and his supporters lie and shouldn't be trusted.. blah blah. Trump never gave an opinion on what started the fire. When I kept correcting him, he would delete my comments.

#2) He said Trump is responsible for the deaths of the 67 people in DC. Why? Because he supposedly fired hundreds of FAA officials and NTSB officials. He also said the control towers were understaffed because Trump fired controllers. All lies! When I pointed this out to him, my comment disappeared.

The reason some of you look so stupid, is because you don't wanna have an honest debate! You only wanna hear from people that agree with you! This person also claims to be a "psychologist", which I definitely question! If he is, that's a scary thought, because he probably needs more treatment for his mental health than his patients do.

Republicans block me all the time. I occasionally block people, but only after they admit to being racist, or if they delete my comments first.

Also, it's not "supposedly fired." He did. We have ample evidence of who he has fired. https://apnews.com/article/trump-firings-prosecutors-dei-federal-government-2042969d1855feb2753b6237f1022666

Also, he is trying to blame this on DEI and Obama, when it's clear this is a result of the controller doing the jobs of two people.

[NimbleOcelot]

Oh, new update, it was Trump's fault, now with more concrete evidence.

[Asker]

Once again, "been understaffed for YEARS"..."Staffing levels PROBABLY weren't helped by Trump's freeze". You people need to learn the difference between fact and conjecture.

[Asker]

Also, Obama threw thousands of applications of well qualified controller's away, because apparently they weren't the right color, or race, or sex or something like that.

[NimbleOcelot]

? Did you even read the FAA report I linked for you? The actual report is sourced. It's not conjecture.

[NimbleOcelot]

And now I need your source. Anyway, the FAA report blames Trump, not Obama.

[Asker]

And can you tell me if "hundreds" of FAA officials were fired? Or how many controllers were fired? 🤔

[NimbleOcelot]

I. Linked. The. Report.

[NimbleOcelot]

Read it.

[NimbleOcelot]

I also linked the firings in my very first comment. Read that too.

[Asker]

Lol Jesus Christ, did you actually read your own link? All it said is their isn't any evidence it was DEI related, "contrary to what Trump claims". Somehow that means it's Trump's fault? Lol It never mentioned anything linking Trump to the actual accident. Again, they've been understaffed for YEARS! It didn't decrease under Trump. Next time, read the actual article and not just the headlines. The FAA reached NO conclusions as to what caused the crash.

[NimbleOcelot]

"An internal report from the Federal Aviation Administration found that in reality, the tower’s staffing at Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to The New York Times. There was only one air traffic controller to handle both helicopters and planes in the airport’s vicinity, a job usually assigned to two people."

It goes on to say that yes, this has always been an issue, but Trump conlated it.

[Asker]

Now you're making shit up! The report never mentioned Trump. The "journalist threw his own conjecture in the article, "staffing levels PROBABLY weren't helped by Trump's freeze". Which, of course, the staffing levels at the DC airport haven't been decreased under Trump, so that's not even a valid argument.

[NimbleOcelot]

Now it's time to read the first one I posted for you! If the FAA is short staffed, why is Trump firing people? Also don't ignore that these were abnormal conditions, even taking into account that they've been short staffed for years. Why is Trump not allowing the FAA to hire people if they are short staffed?

[NimbleOcelot]

I will say, since I should remain biased, that this might not be entirely Trump's fault (although many more things are), but he still is indirectly responsible, and instead of admitting to it, and trying to rectify it, he blamed Obama and DEI. This is not how a president should act. However, most republicans (and in some cases democrats) don't seem to realize this, and they will look down on someone for admitting and owning up to a mistake.

You at least will try to read and discuss what I put, and I thank you for that. And i should add that I did overlook part of the article. But at the end of the day, Trump trying to make an executive order to say it's someone else's fault is an issue. He's the president. It's his responsibility to fix it.

[Asker]

He fired 240 federal employees, none of which were controllers. You already said it was "Trump's fault", because an article (you didn't even read lol) had it as a headline but I proved you wrong. Anything else you wanna argue goes against my original question. In other words, quit while you're behind.

[NimbleOcelot]

I've already admitted that I've made mistakes in my argument, but Trump is still responsible, as he is the president. Instead, all he's trying to do is cast blame.

[Asker]

That's fine, you are definitely entitled to your opinion and I respect it. We kind of got off track lol Let's part ways as friends? 🤝 😊

[NimbleOcelot]

Sure. I might get heated sometimes, but I only debate with people because I want them to look at both sides.

[Asker]

I didn't think you got out of hand. Trust me, I've had wayy worse experiences on here, as I'm sure you have. I rarely get political though, that's why I get pissed when the few times I do, I get comments deleted or blocked lol

[NimbleOcelot]

Exactly. Most of the ones I've gotten bad with though we're ones who pretended to put up an actual debate, only to figure out that they were just racist the whole time.

[Asker]

I hate to play the "sex" card but I do feel I get treated differently as a girl when I get political, not by most guys but a few. You didn't do that ONCE! 😊 You debated me like you would anyone else. And yes, I've seen some really vulgar and racist stuff on here, though rarely and I often wonder how they can still be on here? Because I'll see them on other questions afterwards.

[Anonymous]

we should ask the admins to do something about these echo chambers

echo chambers on Reddit are already radicalizing a lot of ANTIFA thugs to commit riots and violent protests and even murder

[Anonymous]

When you're stuck in the republican carousel of lies it's hard to distinguish fact from fiction I'm sure.

[Kaneki05]

Just block them, let them live in their own deulsion.

[Dargil]

People believe what suits them. Contradictory facts are all some sort of "... ist".
