You care a lot about the choice of thread. I explained the reasoning, or as you put it, my "agenda".

My agenda was to see how people are choosing to unpack this term, guage the public opinion, see if people think it's a valid term, if it has multiple meanings or just one, to see if people think it's purely political-based or symptomatic of a more general trend in information consumption.

So far all of that has come up. Also, all discussion, even this back-and-forth right here, is intellectually stimulating imo and therefore fruitful. It may be me, but I'm picking up uneccsarily negative vibes from your rhetoric, stemming from the choice of where I posted my thread, something I explained unarbitraily.

Yes...! Yes...! I have been essentially stating the underlined. I have been continually stressing this. You forced me to make it abundantly clear in my last response. How was it hard to understand? Why was it necessary to restate?

Nevermind that. I don't care what you currently claim your agenda was as that was not your agenda:

The first paragraph of this post, and the second paragraph of this post says all that needs to be said when it comes to your intentions of making this thread. I don't feel like restating this a third time.

And yes, between you and me, it is just you. Not only are the negative vibes you are picking up completely necessary, the rhetoric stems not from merely your choice of where you posted your thread (which is the only reason I clicked) but from your intention to force politics into non-politics (which is the sole reason I commented on this thread). Something that I have been making very clear from the get go.

With all that said, I have nothing more to add to this.

If you ever feel like adding things, math, words, whatever it is, feel free to let me know :)
