The Assault on Objectivity

[Meclazine for Israel]

There is one reason no one references Atlas forum posts from other threads in their discussion.

Because ultimately, it is full of subjective opinion that even the people posting realise is ultimately garbage and can only be supported by someone else having either:

(a) the same opinion; or
(b) an opposing insult to the opposite argument (more common on Atlas).

Politics is a difficult one to discuss using an online platform. We have not set up a very level playing field, because if you post something that is objective, chances are that someone will be offended because it contrasts with their subjective view of how they want to live their life.

The 'easily offended' have taken over.

For example, everyone to the right of Chairman Mao is a right wing fascist at Atlas.

Some really dumbass analysis that you dont even have to argue against get's spewed out. It's self-evident that it is dross. And that is why it is never referenced in future discussions.

Objectivity in this place is not going to happen.

The forum is subjective analysis of a very subjective topic.
