The hate spewed on this board is a perfect example of why we are doomed.

I will always go out of my way to hold the door open for the same people that would spit in my face. not because I want anything return, but only for the fact that i'd rather everyone have as good of a day/life that I wake up to every day. karma is real. be kind to others and you will be paid in dividends, rather in this life or the next.

if you look at fellow man as your enemy, you are lost

It is Us vs Them.

The real "Us" is hopelessly divided and manipulated to be at each other's throats whilst the real "Them" continues to laugh all the way to the bank.

I don’t hate you. I don’t even disagree with every one of your points, just the vast majority of them. I don’t think your positions are tenable for the most part but I’d be willing to talk about them.

Your side killed a lot of innocent people during the summer of love. To use your side’s words, “Silence is violence.”

Get your house in order first. My side condemns all harm to children and wants to protect their innocence.

Until any of you condemn and actively eliminate the terrorists wing of your party, you’re all scum.

You consider yourself a liberal and that connects you with all that implies. You are connected by your definition to transgender lifestyle, gay lifestyle, suppressing conservative views, blm, hero worship of George Floyd, believing that DJT colluded with Russia to steal an election. Need I go on? How about aborting a child as it’s being born and saying it’s just a fetus. Are you a liberal?

I just had a Christian a Moderate to liberal friend on FB whom I have (distanced myself in recent years )from respond to a comment I made on a another friends wall. He's a massive never Trump guy.

we had a short back and forth, he mentioned this Alogarithims thing last night and found it curious he brought that up- but the subject on fB was about how the news media cna't be trusted, it misleads people and that's why people are tweaked half the time on things not even true.

I think don't where he gets his news, I know he mocks Fox News....

I watch Fox a little bit, I check their website daily, and I come here daily... so we get a wide range of sources flooding this site.

yes' we're both on social media thus the topic at hand.

The bottom line is, LIberals think differently from the get go

I realized I have my bias...from the get go

but we're all adults here...filter/think/then form a position on the issues.

He believes he's reasonable, I believe I am reasonable but dang it's like we're living in two worlds- it took him all but 2 paragraphs to bring up Trump saying "I don't care" in regards to bringing the country to together.

I said try perspective, YOu think Trump isn't ticked and sad over this????

He offered to buy me lunch...I said only if we don't talk politics...

that ship has sailed for me- He's a know it all liberal, age 43, a nurse in fact, his parents are both retired teachers.

You started a thread saying the right wing is what is wrong with conservatism spewing your own hatred.


Holy shite dude. Zero self awareness.

the fact this has equal upvotes and downvotes proves OPs point


I don't think it is so much algorithms as it is the leftists shooting Charlie Kirk and then celebrating for the past week. That anger is still a little fresh.

Given the events of the past week, it is a bit retarded to come here asking for unity and kindness as if conservatives posting here are the cause of the hate and division. OP should go to Reddit and DU and tell their fellow leftists to stop calling us fascists and Nazis, and then come back and let us know what kind of responses they got there.

The only thing the OP has proven is that they have no concept of tact or the ability to read a room.

Glad you posted. I'm going to assume you are a Democrat voter?

quote:

I think we largely want the same things and we have some differences how to get there. I'm for small government. Less regulation so housing costs can go down. Progressive income tax. Gun control. Health care for everyone and more affordable heatlhcare for everyone.


But while you support these things, you are also supporting, regardless of whether you want to or not, the following things:

Child Mutilation
Transgender Acceptance
Men in Women's Sports
Men in Women's Bathrooms
Sex Ed and Gender Studies for 5 Year Olds
Unchecked Immigration
Limitless Welfare

You also support calling your conservative friends Nazis, Fascists, Extremists, Christian Nationalists, Sexists, Racists, etc.

And while you may say you don't - Democrat Organizations at the highest level say these things, and all of the people in power in your party say these things.

If you continue to donate to, support and vote for this platform, then it is yours as well. It's that simple.

quote:

I think we have algorithms in social media that polarize us because it's more profitable. Anger gets more clicks. I'm a susceptible to it.


This is not an algorithm:
Donald Trump Using Tactics of a ‘Fascist Government’: Nancy Pelosi

This is one of the most powerful people in the party for the last 20 years repeating the same lines.

This is not an algorithm:
Trump’s Charlottesville statement was repugnant — no matter how you parse it

This was your president, who never backed away from the very fine people line. Not once, even though it has been debunked.

You know we can do this all day.

quote:

On this board there are people saying they can't live in the same country as me.


WHo did this first? Why is this kind of language now the problem, and not Nancy Pelosi a decade ago? Or Hilary Clinton with the basket of deplorables?

quote:

Some saying kicked out of the country.


Who wanted to kick who out first? Who wants to constantly hold their opinions as something that should not be revealed or used. What side has a problem with something so simple like prayer in public spaces like outside of abortion clinics?

quote:

We all need to be careful what the algorithms from big tech are doing to us.


I would never agree that this isn't a problem. But it isn't THE problem.
