I know, I get it. Echo chambers are bad m’kay?
But hear me out. Most of the interactions I had on there were essentially me fighting against the news for about 11 years. Most of the people I argued with were reactionary and repeated everything on TV. It was frustrating and it was awful.
I gained little insight into what was going on by interacting with them, and in retrospect, I could’ve been no better off here. And honestly, I feel less on edge about current affairs being around people who get it. I’m one degree removed from crazy.
I’m glad there are spaces on the web where I can get away from all of that nonsense. So, I guess, in a sense, thank you for being here.
Pshaw. I mean, I hate saying anything bad about the left at all these days because of how much worse the right is.
But “they have independent thought”? “Not just following a team”? You’re out of your mind. Or maybe you’ve never met a lefty.
I think it’s a matter of degree tho. I get what you’re saying, and in many respects you’re not wrong, but there is WAYYYYYY more ‘falling in line’ on the right than on the left. Like wayyyyy more.
For sure for sure.
