I am VERY opinionated about a lot of things. I often wish I could just sit back and not be so staunch :(

    The 2010s definitely had a lot of missteps and over-corrections when it came to pulling the country more left and it’s a shame. It’s led to statements from politicians like AOC saying things like “woke 1.0 is dead” and similar and that’s really understandable. There should be more grace and education in leftists spaces for sure.

    Then there’s some topics, like recording people having sex without consent, that I thought was a pretty agreed upon crossed line. I thought consent was something we all agreed should be respected more in our society and our country. So coming on people willing to play devil’s advocate for knowingly recording someone without their consent blew my mind with FishFace and other users here yesterday.

    So yeah, I clash with some people like FishFace that are willing to “both sides” topics that don’t need it because it’s really frustrating and offensive. Add in that I’ve got ADHD justice sensitivity and I can be real stubborn about topics like these.

    I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s ok shrug

      I in no way defended you lol. I said you’re funny in a “I find their dogged determination to be wrong, amusing” sort of way.

      I might have been more charitable if we’d started off with the civility you just demonstrated, but that ship has sailed for the foreseeable future.
