I’m supposed to search for evidence to support your assertions that disagree with my post

Reposted from Average Rando (not) on twitter

It’s not just me saying so. Google “carney elbows down”. Lots of alternative and main stream media analysts are talking about the reversal. Some seem like I support the change, but they still note the contrast.

My assertion is that people are saying the same as me. A simple google search confirms that so I have you the Google search. I mean I AM guilty of hyperbole by saying “kowtow” but a lot of analysts are agreeing with me that his elbows aren’t up. And I don’t mind whether you agree with my opinion.

I don’t have the time or energy for a debate. That said, at least you didn’t yell, swear and misspell numerous words 😂

Good thing I’m not looking for a debate then. I express an opinion I believe is rational in the hope that people pay attention and don’t idolize a politician and assume they do no wrong. If you look at the same facts as me and come to a different conclusion, I’m ok with that.

No idolizing here, just an appreciation for getting shit done.

But trampling indigenous rights and the environment to “get things done” isn’t something I value.

This hasn’t actually happened. It’s hyperbole at this point

Dude, the burden of proof is on you when you make an assertion. Also, I don't know if you've noticed, but Google's serving algorithm-based results these days, so what one person gets in their results won't necessarily be the same as yours.

I stated an opinion, I didn’t make an assertion. Or that’s how it was meant. And let me know if that Google search doesn’t work for you. Or don’t. I’ve expressed my opinion. If you don’t agree that’s fine.

And the second page (skipping CPC since I dgaf what they say)

Yes, that is consistent with what I’m saying. I expressed an opinion originally and later made an assertion that others agrees with my opinion, which I supported with a suggested Google search. I’m not sure why you aren’t following this. As far as algorithms, here’s my first page results.

And that part where you made the assertion is what I was addressing, duh. And if you'd just done exactly this right from the start, no one would have had to point out to you that it's weird to expect other people to back up your own point for you.

Classic.

Social media is very frustrating because much of it is emotion without nuance. That's why I really like the panels on Power and Politics and the interviews. One can learn a lot more about what could potentially go wrong and what's probably ok. Sometimes what we fear is valid & sometimes it isn't.

Agreed. I watch P&P daily and generally find it to be quite balanced.
