[@Abyssionknight]

I do think corporations played a part in creating the divide we see now, but that it's mainly the algorithm at play. The reason I think companies were involved is that I was an adult during Occupy Wall Street. People across the spectrum were all standing up in opposition to economic inequality and there was a united front to bring down the wealthy. Then towards the end of that identity politics suddenly entered into the equation, and that drove a wedge in the community, fractured it apart, and as the years have gone by people have stopped focusing on economic inequality and started focusing on racial inequality, and it's turned allies into enemies. Once that split happens the algorithm absolutely creates echo chambers that radicalize and create extremism on both sides, but when you go back to the source I wouldn't be shocked at all if companies chose to signal boost the racial economic inequality to take the attention off of themselves.

[@jokuvaan5175]

Yea. It's really strange to me that USA doesn't have party or much of politicians for that matter to represent the economic left. They just have economic right and even more right. Majority of Americans seem to agree that both dominant parties are corrupt but they are either too apathetic to do anything about it or they divide themselves over social policy stances and then fight over which party is worse. And this prevents them from fighting against the corporate oligarghy that has formed to Washington DC over the decades. Both parties are in corporate pockets screwing over the average people.

The MBT "holocaust victim bit" incident of 2022 :TrollDespair:

[@MrZer093]

Part of being apolitical comes with the notion of privilege to not have to be political. I’m gay. I sure as hell not only am not going to be voting for the people actively seeking political positions who say I am a terrible person for merely existing and as a result I am going to at least have a kneejerk reaction against the people who voted for such bigoted candidates. I’m going to try to understand but also IT’S FUCKING EXHAUSTING. If I had a nickel every time I had a conversation with someone who absolutely hates the LGBTQ community, I’d have quite a few dollars. Could I have had some kind of heart to heart with most of them? Probably. But I also have my own life to live and I’m not gonna spend every hour of my day trying to stop homophobes from being homophobic, especially when (say it with me kids!) it’s kind of a privilege to not have to have a heart to heart with a bunch of people so you can live a life free of bigotry. Basically, if someone says they voted for Trump, I just give them an ask why and then if I don’t like their answer I’m on my way. “I dunno, seemed fine. Didn’t really like Biden/Hillary” is a perfectly fine answer. Same with “my family said they were gonna so I just figured I would too.” MegaCapitalG said “I believe the economy comes before human rights” and I’m like “no”. Why? Because why is it a goddamn choice to begin with? It’s patently absurd because the notion of better human rights isn’t incompatible with a better economy and it’s bizarre to tolerate that especially when it isn’t like the left hates the economy. Also it comes with a massive lol because both the last couple republicans left office with a recession they sure as hell didn’t start with. They’re not even better for the economy. tl;dr: People saying Trump voters are bad aren’t evil. They just got hurt by too many of them. And also it’s weird how it’s a popular notion that the right is better for the economy

[@richarddrost5737]

I think something that's important to remember in these kind of things is that everyone has had a different experience in life. There will be a lot of people that voted for Trump because they wanted the wall because they are racist, but there will probably als be a lot of people that voted for Trump because they have had to deal with a lot of Mexican gang crimes ie. And you can say "well that's racist to think all Mexicans would be like that" but it's the same philosophy as that the left has, the experience with Trump supporters were bad so therefore they only get a small chance cause it's tiring to deal with finding out whether it's a rascist Trump supporter or not. People's experience in life has a giant effect on them and their views and while it's not our job to have to listen to everyone's story and try to understand everyone, it's also not our job to judge anyone for it either. P.s none of this was directed to you in particular, your comment just made me think of this.

@@Cybertech134 I was speaking more on preaching empathy and not actually practicing it. Love the sinner and all that. It's literally doctrine. Also churches still practice a the whole act of them being politically repressed while still being a majority voting block, it was still political suicide to be an atheist less than 8 years ago. I'm sure you've heard the argument of "gay people make us religious type uncomfortable therefore what about our feelings?" Churches with a disdain for the poor being especially prevalent in these cases, and while arguably un-christian, are still in line with and voting with the majority protestant block. I do agree that their voices about that are lessened, but I think that has more to do with the cultural shift left rather than a lack of trying. When the culture shifts right again those voices will become louder.

4:23 No, that's how _these_ algorithms work. Why do they treat political information, general education, propaganda, just the same as entertainment? When it comes to that, what you like to hear or see is not the thing by which to go since reality - albeit not necessarily clear as day - doesn't bend to your individual preferences: things may be (very) different ways at different times, places, or under any particular circumstances but your attitude towards the things generally doesn't affect what is (and where it does it's only one such circumstance out of many).

If you look at any extreme on each side you will find delusion, that is why you should judge each sides not by their extremes, but instead by how much they tolerate their own extreme. By how much they are willing to look away 🙈 "see no evil" at themselves as a whole.

I think a more important aspect to me and something I've learned in my mid 20s is the self care/mental health aspect of this. A lot of people with this extreme reaction to having to share a locals or a YCS with a Conservative tend to be younger or people who have not learned how to pick and choose their battles. If I got upset and moved to bar every Conservative from everywhere I went or barred myself from sharing the same spaces... I would not be able to live.

There has been that strange project where people were ask on the street how they stand on certain political topics, both on the names they support and the topics The conclusion was very interesting since people were in many points overlapping in their views no matter what side (democrats or republicans) they were on... which is strage since it normally fells so split However whats most interesting is the reason for why E.g. people on both sides were ask if they want a raise to minimum wage or free heathcare, and boh said yes While democrats reasoned that they want that because its just better for everyone Republicans said "Ofc i want that, it helps the people of the country. I voted for trump becuse our politics are stuck, and we need a criminal who ignores rules to put these things these comunists dont want into power. Trump can also help with the funding by taking all the money back which is wasted on those imigrants" Which shows very veeerry clearly that people dont think too differently, however some have been gotten convinced that the lies they were told are true, and that the problems originate from certain scapegoats In other words, many people who believe or parrot stuff arent evil or anything, but they have just been hit with so much missinformation that they believe they will get help from the person who will make it worse (Also on that note, it has been shown that the democrats do the same amount of nothing to push good stuff further, because they are also controlled by money, but at least they dont tag on a bunch of stuff which makes peoples lives worse for no reason, like immigrant bans or billions wasted on walls)

I do like this video mostly just because it helped me to get the f*** out of the annoying circle jerk of online leftism. It also helped me realize that while I do not consider myself to be a good person, I do generally care about the well-being of other people and believe that they should have basic rights no matter what they believe. Begrudgingly

In general, I think the tone of this video is EXTREMELY on the nose. I don’t know if I agree that everyone who voted for Trump was either tricked, a bad person, or bad conservative parents. The real problem no one talks about is “Who are our electors in the electoral college, and why isn’t that a voted in position?“ then follow that up with “if we don’t vote on electors, but they vote on the president, and the president elects Supreme Court justices, why are two of our three branches of our government out of our control as a population?”

Because America was never intended to be a direct democracy (at least not at the federal level). Once upon a time we didn't vote for Senators either - they were chosen by state legislators. All of these guardrails exist at the federal level to give states more autonomy in their decision-making and governance. The real problem is that the federal government has been given too much power over the years and that power needs to be returned to the states.

The YT comment section tend to be in the agreement that MBT is correct. The people in twitch chat however.... there were an alarming amount of people who were like "no your wrong you're white you would have no idea" and of course the "yeah but Republicans/ Trump voters/ Trump supporters ARE actually all bad no matter what" and it was very hard to watch because the entire point just went over their heads.

100% this, for some reason some people just kinda forget about individuals and treat people like they're part of some hive mind and that's their excuse for having 0 empathy towards them
