I used to think left.

Then I used to think right.

Now I am not sure even moderates do. It's so fucked.

Culturally we have lost the ability to listen or grow. We have isolated ourselves into bubbles of like minded people and forgotten how to have heated but civil discussions.

That's what I love about saidit so far. I can argue with all the far right anti-semites and they are surprisingly better about taking it and arguing back than even the more moderate on sites like reddit.

Because they do not use the censor's baton. Why are you surprised that those who have suffered banishment for freedom of words are more tolerant of words?

They don't really have the censor's baton. If they did, I bet they would use it.

Perhaps. Perhaps it is the nature of the baton to draw in those inclined to the sin of sadistic abuse. There are many fewer inclined to sadistic abuse found among the [insert leftwing slur here] as there is not the opportunity to partake.
