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.

    People on the left are not just following a team. They have actual independent thought. The right is a hive mind.

    These kinds of blanket generalizations don’t exactly suggest much “independent thought.”

    Nor does speaking about “the right” as if the U.S. is the only country where a political right exists.
