Why do we get so riled up about politics?

[Syne]

Blaming and finger-pointing to a particular class of people all the time solves nothing. Rather it only absolves yourself from some imagined and guilt-inducing transgression.

Try saying that again but with a few specifics this time. Who's blaming and where? What class of people? What transgression?
As written, it's a meaningless post.

LOL You do it so much you've ceased to be conscious of it.

"Tell that to the leftists who want big government, and it's handouts, to solve their problems."

All leftists what big government, to force their priorities on others, and handouts, to redistribute wealth. These are their political platforms.
So what was ambiguous about that?


Or is the accusation just another sad deflection to avoid clarifying your meaningless post?
You probably don't even know what you were trying to say.

Who said anything was ambiguous? You're clearly blaming a certain class of people for something just like I said. Like that solves anything. Are you still denying that's what you do?

Where do you imagine the "blame" is there? And where do you imagine a "solution" is proposed?
Again, you're going to need to be more specific... if you want anyone to know what you're going on about.

The blame is right here:

"Tell that to the leftists who want big government, and it's handouts, to solve their problems."

And I said you haven't offered a solution to anything. Learn how to read.

Tell me, where do imagine blame is being placed in this exchange?

I'm literally saying it's leftists "believing that politics solves his problems."
No blame, and I did not see anyone ask for a solution to anything here. Why, are you looking for someone to solve your problems? @_@

You blamed leftists for wanting govt handouts and big govt. You also blamed political fervor on leftists who you accused of using politics for religion. I told you blaming a class of people all the time solves no problems. Are you claiming it does? How?

You seem to be confusing facts for blame. Otherwise, tell me who wants bigger government and wealth redistribution. Tell me who celebrates the murder of someone they merely disagree with politically.

Seeing reality for what it is does solve a lot of problems. In this case, not pretending that all the ills of the left are just some blame game (a projection itself) would allow some self-reflection in addressing them in a useful manner.

Blame is the act of assigning responsibility, fault, or culpability to someone or something for a negative outcome, mistake, or wrong action. You are blaming a class of people for something you see as wrong. What does blaming solve? What information are you providing that helps us learn something constructive?
