I am a retired criminal investigator with 30 years of training and experience. Since retirement I have spent thousands of hours investigating world politics. I do not arrive at my conclusions lightly. How have you arrived at yours?
I try to know some about lots of different topics. When listening to others I consider their input and compare their knowledge of things that I am aware about. If they are correct on subjects that I have some knowledge on I assume that they have increased credibility. If I know that they are lying about even something as small and unrelated as Betta Fish I assume that they are full of shit and lying about everything. Unfortunately for the media and the CDC FBI TSA White House and the list goes on inside the government they have been lying on too much for me to trust them on anything.
Myself as a cynic by nature. I dive into everything I can learn. Have an open mind, and try to let the facts dictate where that leads.
Through life experience, and an understanding of his special freedom is as I look around the world. That is really what matters to me.
Sad fact as a human race. We just refuse to get along, and be happy.
Never stop digging!
@jaymaron I'm not interested in trash talk, and only interested in what's right, and freedom.
I don't care what anyone does as long as they don't violate my freedom.
I'm trying to change things. Not one up someone. I don't care about that. Trash talking isn't really my thing either.
Standing on freedom that is my only concern
unless you have done or are doing forensic investigatory work on any particular political figure or organization your "30 years..." is of little or no consequence.
Your "insight" into things said and done is based upon casual observation, common sense BS meter reading and in reality no more valuable or valid than anyone else who happens to be following the same political narrative.
Yes experience and training means nothing in investigations because you say so. Care to share your expertise? Looking at the history of your comments you appear to be just someone who regurgitates others and posts nonsensical platitudes that you think makes you appear insightful. You never have anything of value or insight to add to a discussion.
I would beg to differ. A significant portion of the population's observations deviate substantially from reality and are devoid of ANY intelligent foundation - those 'observations and opinions' are not equal or comparable to mine any more than a two year old's temper tantrum is.
Some people have better intuition than others with experience and common sense being a part of what we call intuition. That said I tend to agree that the original post is very strange. Humans are the most complex individual thing we know of and societies being built of humans are even more complex. Politics is the highest level of social organization and societies function, like all complex organisms, as complex chaotic systems. Meaning they are both irreducible and unpredictable. Political choices are always the lesser of two evils because power corrupts and the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I would never say that I have any special insight into things political. Sometimes it's easy to make a decision because one candidate is clearly worse than the other but that is as far as I have ever been willing to go.
