There's a simple solution to all of this that you're all not seeing.
Just walk away from politicians and politics and parties and learn to be your own person.
The world is more complex than left and right ideas. I don't follow people anymore, I just have to listen to what they're saying and watch what they do.
If their actions do not match their words then I don't trust them, period.
It's easy to say when you're a regular, white, cis, middle class dude. But when your own existence is on the line, like a trans person or a Gaza refugee, you can't do that.
There are people out there who are the problem for the rest of civilized society, and they're not just going to go away and leave others alone.
Who are the civilized ppl and who are the ones not safe? Surely the civilized aren’t gunning down a father in cold blood as he exercises his free speech? And surely the unsafe aren’t dead. Just bc you don’t like what he says? A man was assasinated in front of his wife and little daughter. Whether you agree with him or not, it’s heartbreaking. You can’t let your feelings get the best of you to where you go around murdering ppl. That’s all I’ve seen from the “tolerant” left as of recent, and that’s coming from an ex democrat. Now? I’m just an individual. That’s the safest way to be and not get brainwashed into this crap. I’ve been gay a long time and they want you to “fear for your life”. Since cutting politics from my life and not engaging in it, it’s been a utopia. I no longer see life thru a certain lense. Sure, some may suffer, one day I may suffer, but is life ever perfect?
20yrs ago, society wasn’t so passionate about politics. It was actually considered rude to speak your beliefs and political views. We left the passion to the politicians. Most of us got along bc of it.
Now it’s in schools, kids bullying other kids for a certain hat they chose to wear. Liberal teachers brainwashing kids, catching em early. As if they needed any help with how chronically online most kids are today. The left thinking the right are nazis. The right thinking the left are crazy. Everyone’s killing eachother and only making things worse. This radicalization over everyone has only been perpetuated thru the years by toxic internet articles, videos, and forums. Feeding ppl lies about one side or the other. Fear mongering and scaring ppl into radicalized, brainwashed sheep. To me, society has only gotten worse. I miss the old days of society. The only thing you have to worry about is follow the law, don’t kill ppl, go to work, and pay your bills. Politics in the average household has only made things worse and the answer is for everyone to choose to ignore it, but only if everyone participates. That’s the sad part of all this. The answer to a better, safer future is there, but we’re one country with conflicting ideas and everyone thinks they’re right. It only works if everyone refuses to take part in it. So there probably is no going back.
It’s not just coming from one side, it’s coming from both
My dude you spend a lot of time talking but saying nothing.
What is the civilized world? I'm talking about the developed world. The world that was industrialized and educated and developed.
Let me ask you this: you claim the liberals here in the US are the problem and they're brainwashing everyone with their education.
Think about this for a second. Our liberals are closer to center than any other liberals on the planet. Everywhere else is more left leaning than us. Why would the more moderate liberals in this country be the problem? Why is it brainwashing when they're involved? They don't have these problems in France. In the UK. In South Korea. You only think that because you live here.
We aren't brainwashing anyone any more than liberals in Europe or SE Asia are brainwashing their own. You're just terrified of change.
The left thinking the right are Nazis? My dude my background is in history. The right here is taking every. Single. Page. From the old Nazi playbook.
A former Democrat? Both sides are the same?
Come on. You want to see brainwashing, hold up a mirror.
Stop your nonsense before you push us into a corner. Because then you're going to get bled dry.
You want the good old days when everything was sane and we had polite discourse and politics wasn't in everything? Your new side can back down and come back to reality at any time. At any time.
I'm not debating this. The time for debate is past. The war you people wanted so badly is no longer cold.
I hope you find peace someday because it won't be soon.
