Having a good debate isn't screwy. That's not what's going on here. I think it's the tone coupled with the actual statements you make that makes you look so screwy.

Your argument here is that there is an "us" and "them" to the world, you apparently being gifted with the knowledge that "a true apocalypse" is being covered up by false promises from media, and "them" (everyone else) being slaves to the media (or the government, or rich people, whatever you feel to throw up in that moment). What makes me dismiss your ideas as nonsense immediately is the easily identifiable fuckery present when someone thinks they are part of a minority with the key to enlightenment-- and that everyone else is stupid.

That's a terrible way to go about things. I went through that phase in 6th grade when I discovered atheism. I used to blast paragraphs and paragraphs of bullshit nonsensical "philosophy" on facebook and more-or-less provoke people to the point of isolating myself as a total nut. And I was. Don't be that guy.

I wish I cared enough to put in a better effort to explain the problem here eloquently.
