Sadly, I have seen no viewpoint shift among my acquaintances. Two days ago I had someone say to me that the terror attacks were Israel’s fault because they taunted the oppressed by having a music festival so close to the “open air prison”.

Sadly, I have seen no viewpoint shift among my acquaintances. Two days ago I had someone say to me that the terror attacks were Israel’s fault because they taunted the oppressed by having a music festival so close to the “open air prison”.
I am finding that most of the left is merely a collection of empty academic credentials and meaningless phrases without a rational thought among them. Nor a meaningful life experience in the whole lot. There are indeed to perspectives. One based on reality. The other based on a warped self image.
I'm afraid people's views are very greatly shaped by their base of knowledge. Leftists who watch MSNBC will never change, because they will never hear a disagreeing opinion or know of refuting facts.
I doubt that any of my Leftists friends have actually changed their minds about anything. Their current silence suggests to me that they are simply waiting until it is socially safe to push their Leftist ideas again.
At best I get avoidance of any related topic. I had one guy who is very left complain about crime in Philly the other day but quickly changed the subject when he realized that the next painful step would be acknowledging the policies that caused the crime. That's a no-go zone mentally. It is safe to complain but not safe (yet?) to look at the underlying cause of the complaint.
Mine are also shockingly silent! People who normally prattle on in favor of defunding the police , or how the unhoused need to live in (other people's) backyards, now just want to talk about the weather!

Maybe I just need a better set of acquaintances.
the left argues castrating boys turns them into girls , that's what your dealing with
You do, get rid of the current crop you won’t be sorry.

I think I read that MSNBC's rating are down 1/3 in the last few weeks. If true, that could mean that they are looking for other sources of info????

Not so mine. I’ve been gratified that leftist friends of mine, in the words of Tom Lehrer, “feel like Christian Scientists with appendicitis.”
