I posted one comment, got 20 replies from people in less than half an hour. I never even said anything wrong or insulting. This is how you people act both in person and online. It’s sad. I’m lucky to have friends in real life, both liberals and republicans in my group of friends, and all of us can discuss without being mad at each other over some beers.

You people are not the people who will put change in the world. Do better. Community blocked.

Yeah, take your ball and go home. Notice you aren’t banned. You’re cowering to your little corner because you can’t actually argue your ‘side’ reasonably. You’re just whining that you think factual information is somehow biased.

There are people who actually tried to discuss with you. You ignored them and wallowed in your victim complex instead. You could block those who you feel are insulting you and engage with the actual attempts for a conversation, like any normal person would.

Why is it always people crying the loudest about no discussion who bail the moment they are confronted for their BS?

Also: No one gives a shit about downvotes or upvotes on Lemmy. Karma literally doesn’t exist here.

If you think disagreeing equals silencing, you should not be on the internet at all.
