Is political discussion still possible with the internet around ?

no matter what topic you always end up with people generalising or derailing a topic and people mixing up facts with opinions.

I think it is possible but one has to develop a thick skin. The thing is, we just never know who we are dealing with online. There are even many governments in the world now who employ people to cause confusion on social sites. Telling truth from fiction is becoming more difficult.

@Wraithorn its like in that simpsons episode... we used to have a few controlled news outlets... but now we have everyone spew their bile camouflaged as news

@AngelofFail Yeah. It seems that constant mental manipulation has become a really big thing now. Actually it has probably always been a big thing except that the internet has opened up the playing field to everyone.
