    It should be surprising and induce anger. The conservatives want Apathy among progressives and the normalization of disgusting behavior. This is outrageous and the perpetrators should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible

    There is a propaganda technique which uses phrases such as “water is wet” or “news at 11, sky is blue”. It is done to disarm outrage. You see it In nearly every single article about corruption in every way. It is so successful even the working class repeats it. Im not saying you’re a propagandist or anything. Jerry Springer had a talent for normalizing the trashiest immoral behavior, just to make himself a few bucks.

      The fuck? No. Conservative politicians tend to want you outraged, it’s how they get you to agree with their harsher policies.

      You are free to feel however you feel, and unfortunately for you, so am I.
      Which, if you’re wondering, is unsurprised.

        What is it with this toxic attitude where people always try to get in the last word, even when it adds nothing to the conversation ?

          Like you are doing right now?

          He did add something, he stated that Regardless of your comment, telling people how they are supposed to feel, they still felt what they originally expressed.

          Then you got angry for some reason? Idk, its what i observed.

          I get what you where saying, but if this is your usually comment style you will find even your allies opposing.

            He stated his opinion. As did I. I did not get angry. I stated an observation. One shared by many. This forum grows more and more toxic by the day.

              Can you please explain/quote what he said that you find toxic?

              The only toxicity i see here is you calling them toxic.

              I agree thats its sadly the way a forum grows but they did not act out of line at all.

                I stated my opinion. They re-stated theirs in a childish manner.

      Jerry Springer is a prime example of the rule that our society seems to have that, at some point once you’re rich/powerful enough, you are not allowed to fail.

      The show was a complete train wreck, that just begged to be watched, and that was his rebound career. After he got busted cause he paid a prostitute with a city check while mayor of Cincinnati.
