I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?
Well, you are getting downvoted and it’s probably because “liberal” or centrist viewpoints are seen a bit like skeet shooting for some of the hard left on here. They seek ideological purity and are looking for a safe space.
But you know life is full of dogmatists eh. Some of them need blocking, and some of them need mocking. And some you can actually have a discussion with.
the root of ideological purity is personal insecurity
