A recommendation for conspiracists/people who understand things the rest of us don't

[Deadeye]

It's quite easy to misunderstand. I was not referring to your original use of "interested in" I was referring to you use of "not caring " so you could apply the label of "a teeny bit psychopathic"

A common tactic to label someone as part of an unpopular segment and discredit their point of view.

Dude. Read my reply properly or, if you did read it properly, don't be disingenuous.

I mirrored your language (worry/care); you changed mine (interested/worry).

I'm not here to pick a fight; just offering an insight into how others see things.
You speak of common tactics, yet deploy them liberally. Perhaps just go back to the OP and see if you fancy reading an interesting book? If not, hey, that's ok!

Not just some bloke on youtube but ex president and contender for a second term, most powerful leader in the world.

So crazy in the USA they are having to mount an organised response.
Maybe we need the same sort of thing here, apropos immigration and other issues. Not easy as Tories and Labour have both been on the side of the crazies, to varying degrees.

Radio 4 today interesting, reflected the point I made earlier that we need to change the conversation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0023q08
Earlier progs in same series also worth a listen.

at the very least it will give you an insight into why the rest of us think you've been suckered in.

As I said before why would anyone care/worry/be interested in what you/they/them think?

Because you/they/he/she might learn something? Or is this some sort of riddle?

And, as I said before

"Well, self-insight is pretty useful for learning how to do things better, and similarly others' views for developing empathy. Feedback (in its broadest sense) is the greatest shaping force in the universe.

Also, if you truly don't care, that's a teeny bit psychopathic..."

But at least you now appear to have accepted that either you changed the emphasis not me, or that the words are equivalent so the diversion was meaningless.

Crikey. And you accused me of using "tactics".

Read it or don't. You'll recognise yourself in there. Whether or not you agree with the diagnosis is another matter of course.

Self insight yes, but you don't get that from concerning yourself with what others think

and similarly others' views for developing empathy. Feedback (in its broadest sense) is the greatest shaping force in the universe.

I don't think so

Just how arrogant can you get?
