Oh so I can’t criticise the right because it might hurt your feelings?
I was criticising the rights handling of information and their apparent inability to take factual, scientifically backed information into consideration, for some bizarre reason. If I was criticising the right for being overly critical then I could understand where you’re coming from, however I am allowed to criticise your viewpoint just as you are allowed to criticise mine.
You seem to be mistaking the manner of my criticism to be a lack of rationality when what it is is a casual and unapologetic review of what the past two years have looked like from my perspective. You have every right to criticise me in an equally disparaging manner. That is your right as a person.
But what I find so interesting is your political viewpoint is clearly so hurt by me calling you irrational when it comes to information, and you evidently are seeing that criticism as a personal attack and if those words can genuinely hurt you personally and hurt your deep seated political beliefs then your world view really is pathetic and emotionally, not logically driven. You have every right to disagree with me just like I have every right to criticise you in any manner I wish.
It’s no great secret that the right handled covid atrociously and are still handling it atrociously, for example the suggestion of drinking ivermectin when there is absolutely no grounds to suggest that it in anyway helps and can in fact have negative effects on an already weakened human body.
And it is due to this sort of misinformation that a pandemic that many right wingers believe to be overplayed or a hoax is still ongoing and why many of those hospitalised today are right wing supporters. This is an unobjectionable fact. That is the irrationality I was criticising and if that flaws you so utterly and completely then you really have no credibility in this conversation because criticising one thing apparently means I’m criticising the whole right wing, which is irrational.
