I’m kind of new around here
I am too. I don't know if you came from Voat but people were so defensive there. The slightest disagreement turned into calling each other niggers and kikes. On sites like these even if people disagree we are still a hell of a lot closer than anyone outside of here. I get sucked into the insult reactions too but I try not to.
Yeah are used to post over on Voat a little. Didn’t really fit in there, in the same way I don’t really fit in here. I’m actually fairly in the middle politically and don’t really hate any “groups” except commies. But I can say whatever I want here. It’s funny that you can only do that in right wing spheres. Left wing message boards can’t really exist except in a vacuum. Left wing ideas demand obedience and cannot survive when challenged, they cannot compete, so right wing message boards are the only place I can go. Ironically, even to say things against conservatives when I disagree with them. It’s taken better on conservative message boards. There will always be conservatives on liberal message boards but they were so beaten down that they become immediately defensive and bitchy if I challenge them because I actually am curious about their position, not because I’m disagreeing. I find I learn a lot just by asking questions. People like you give me a lot to think about. I wish my friends were as open minded as people like you. Because then I would still have friends. Thanks again
Glad to have you here!

I have exactly 2 people I can share my political views with in real life. Even my rightwing friends are so far from my views and so mainstream. It's a tough time for me. You spend a month or a year in a place like this and you aren't the same (for better or worse). You see things others never considered. Side topic: I'm not a nat socialist or anything but I've been rewatching "The Greatest Story Never Told" lately. It's 6 hours and a lot to ask but if you haven't seen it give it a try with an open mind. So many parallels to today.
Thanks, I will.
