sad people on similar worlds

QuestionWeaver always blocks anyone who he doesn't believe is a rabid and unquestioning loyal Trump supporter. Join the club. That way, he creates his own echo chamber where only people who agree with him are allowed to post, and he and katielass can talk to each other without having to worry about reality slipping in.

You shared your opinion on the internet? How DARE you!! Don't you know you're supposed to cater to everyone even if it goes against your beliefs and what you think? 🤥

He does that i think to customize SW for a more enjoyable time here....

People get off on blocking here too much, IMO.

Sometimes I think it's symptomatic of the current political climate, but it's also an SW thing, since it's pretty much open here, without defined communities, i.e., safe spaces for getting and people who want to be comfortable with others who think like they do and have a safe place to throw stones and insults at others.

Having said that, I actually like the guy who blocked you, even though he and I disagree about politics usually.

I'm sorry you got blocked. It feels bad, even when it might be a good thing in the long run.

can I pass a comment on some peoples replies as I already said in my original post it is a forum and people will offer different take on a question we are not automatons and all think differently I all for reasonable discussion but when people become offensive or block you they instantly lose there argument

Sometimes I wonder if democracy contains the seeds of its own destruction, in that its normal right of free opinion with the responsibility not to be merely offensive or destructive is subsumed by a self-taken right not to be insulted or offended, with those two verbs' own meanings converted from "gratuitously attacked" to "told a differing opinion".

"Bubbles", as you say; also the strange notion of "safe spaces", "trigger warnings" on set texts and bans on guest speakers, demanded by some students in some universities to protect their own possibly-bright but delicate minds from difficult topics, while denying the more robustly-brained the opportunity to make up their own minds.

The "I'm always right so you are therefore wrong / stupid / evil even to hold differing views" attitude is nothing new to humanity, but the rise and power of "[anti?]social media" has made the rise of such repression and division so much easier and more prevalent. Perhaps socially more dangerous too, by being so insidious.

The big difference is that the binary-age repressors and divisors are not small numbers of national leaders, but large numbers of ordinary people leading ordinary lives; not strutting openly on stages and in governmental auditoria, but hiding behind bedroom curtains and nick-names.

Perhaps the spirit and intention of George Orwell's "Newspeak" (in [i]1984[/i]) stalk us even now...

You seem to be too naive for the internet
