No, that's not true. This place is perfectly fine. The problem is this place leaks all over the board.

This thread should be moved to the poliboard
Welp, that explains the ratios of the first 2 pages.
A political thread started on a board so as not to talk to people that generally follow politics because they'd disagree with you...

I see people turn on family, friends, athletes, and entertainers over politics. Too much FOX/CNN. Watching the sheep turn their lives upside down over a differing point of view is hilarious.
When one side decides that you conform or be excluded, it’s very reasonable for the other side to do the same.

Many LSU fans literally hate Joe Burrow now. It’s absolute lunacy, both the left and right “cancel” who they disagree with politically.
Well maybe professional athletes should just shut their fricking mouth and have a set of nuts and not answer questions about politics ...but no they want to interject so frick them if I think they are a POS libtard I will cancel them they are just people not gods.

Exactly. The OT is the poli board for leftists.

Burrow came out against women’s choice except in the most extreme circumstances.
I can respect that.

It does, because politics has spilled into everything so it makes sense, but that's not the point I was making.
I'm saying that this little place, is the sea of what makes up social media all over, is just a tiny island...and yet we get talk about it being a right wing echo chamber, when in reality for those of us that post here it's simply a bastion of free thought without the incessant left wing ringing we here literally EVERYWHERE else.

Because it is. You just said so:

In this thread people pretend to be amused by tribalism as they divide people into tribes.

I don't have a problem with a difference of opinion, but I can't be friends with people who excuse baby murder and grooming children for trans crap.

It used to be impolite to talk about such things. Now people won't leave it alone.
And so many people don’t realize how we’ve normalized making your political views part of your identity. It’s absolutely batshit and in no other country do people run around all day getting stressed out about those idiots on the other side.
If somebody talks politics I just let them and adopt the approach that I’m interested in how they see the world. Never takes too long before they start feeling stupid that apparently what they really needed was simply to vent about a bunch of pent up anger they self-cultivated through their overconsumption of the news.

I suppose you never stopped to wonder if it’s actually true that half the country supports baby murder and sexually assaulting children or if that framing is what you’ve adopted in order to indulge in your most base desires to write people off.
Personally I blame these damn superhero movies. People out here actually thinking the world is divided into the good guys and the bad guys fighting for global supremacy

Thread moved here from the OT. Not as if my presence changes anything at any rate. Anything else?

Makes sense. I try to stay away from liberals.

In this scenario, I am not the one writing people off. The baby murderers are.

Only bad guys are fighting for global supremacy. I just want the freest, most prosperous nation in human history to stay that way.

Correct. Average people. Not complete nutjobs, who will dismiss the idea of free thinking and independent thought as left wing propaganda.
If I disagree with the way we handle manufacturing, you will call me a baby killer. That's why it was posted on an off-topic board. It has nothing to do with policy, just life choices.

Fortunately, there’s an easy remedy for you: go outside and interact with your fellow Americans. The world would be a boring place if we all saw things the same way. Have the emotional intelligence and humility to acknowledge that a good and intelligent person might see something a little different than you and that’s OK.
This ^.
Economics does not care about your emotions or humility.
