Well, what are you here for then? I'm here to express my opinions (clarifying as necessary), and to try to understand other's opinions, maybe even learn a thing or two. Hence why I'm asking questions, and occasionally looking into the schlock videos/articles posted in OTC to see if I misjudged them. If you're saying that you don't want to explain your opinions though (are you?), I'll bugger off.
Also, if my questions are coming off as overly confrontational or interrogative, say so and I'll try to improve on that metric since that is not my intent. I am trying to be direct though.
1) Disagreement ≠ offense, if you're referring to me.
2) A common understanding of terms is necessary for effective two-way communication, hence my requests for clarification when I think a term plays a key role and that I might not understand how you're using it.
Again, if you're saying you don't want to do any explaining (?), I'll bugger off.
Not sure what you mean by this, or how it relates to what I said. Either you misread or I misspoke. Could you maybe rephrase and/or clarify?
I didn't say they did, so I'm not sure what this is in relation to.
I think this is related to my comments on the phrase "garbage humans," and is confirming what I summarized your position as, which was "supporting/voting for things I find morally bankrupt = garbage human being." Correct me if I'm wrong. I do agree that they are culpable, and it brings to mind Martin Niemöller and his confession of culpability in the Holocaust as expressed in his oft-repeated "First they came for the communists..." speech and blurb.
Now I said I don't want to debate what "garbage humans" should mean, and I hold to that, but I'm open to hearing what you mean by it if you're willing to explain, hence why I'm still engaging with this line of discussion.

...Page 9,001:
Those who strive for edginess over morality. They have made this the core of who they are.
Disrespectful, ignorant, and confident in their individualism.
The list goes on to even more dangerous eventuals when considering the big picture.
Those who either don't realize or pretend to not realize these traits in themselves or others.
Obviously it's not just one side of humanity that has the capacity to carry any of these traits, but there is only one side that I see as dangerous to themselves and others whether through promotion of laws and policy or direct action. It's not the right, at least as a whole. The traits seem to incur from a lack of confidence, emotional maturity, and/or wisdom. They're still humans. I don't feel that most of them see their actions as sinister. They've just been tricked over their life to believe in fairy tales.
Many of those fairy tales are dangerous and I see as the bulk causation of our lack of unity. Unfortunately, if someone is too lazy to look behind the curtains and see the wizard for who they are, than I have no sympathy for them in return. Nor should anyone in today's age of information access, imo. It's been going on for a while and it's extremely obvious. Yet, people will rabidly latch on to easily dissaprovable/over exaggerated/out of context/cherrypicked bullshit and cause social chaos in many forms in order to change the rules to benefit no one but the people pulling the strings.
I agree with a great many of the core ideas these people have, as do most people I gather. The ones I don't agree with seem dangerous to extraordinarily dangerous in either the short term, long term, or both. Their dangerous ideas are far more dangerous than I feel that they realize. Policies and laws, promotion of social, cultural, and human genocides, eugenics, ego over morality, so on while believing the oppsoite is ocurring. I feel that most of it is not grassroot beliefs, but propaganda and social sabotoge.
You have to understand that I don't go out of my way to hate these people. That would be a waste of energy and life. I've just watched a monster evolve over my life from hippies, granolas, and those who want equality into corpo tech overlords, grifters, propagandists, and those who want imbalance to serve their personal goals. Out of control, corrupt, and morally bankrupt. Those who praise false ideals or present themselves in manners they are not just to manipulate and control social policy, morality, and liberties. No thanks, none for me.
Am I saying that person is a Nazi? No, and it doesn't matter if they are or aren't. They know the platform. They know the policies. They know the lies and bullshit. They are culpable. I'm simply not going to play along or support it at any level.
