The important thing is that you found a way to feel superior to both sides.

Meanwhile moderates on both sides think all of you need to desperately touch some fuckin grass.
Seriously I am very worried about the mental health of like 97% of the people on here.

I don’t feel superior to either side inherently. I’m just sitting here in the middle seeing how absolutely brain rotten both sides can be.
Neither side can apparently see how fucking insane they sound because they both think they are objectively correct about absolutely everything at all times.
I’m not sitting here going “you’re both wrong” I’m sitting here going “will both of you please shut up and listen to the other side once in a blue moon for the love of God”.
I’m not even an “enlightened centrist”. I actually lean left, but because I’m not “left enough” I get downvoted for daring to call some of these delusional fucks out on their bullshit.

Look at you! So trusting!
At least 102% of people here need more mental health support (margin of error at .5%)

Here. Everywhere. The whole damn planet is in desperate need of better mental health support.

Yeah, it’s just Reddit 2.0 over here now. A left-wing echo chamber.
I stick to tech and plants on here, and use it less than I thought I would.

I would argue it’s worse than reddit in terms of the average political leanings of users. I have seen overwhelmingly far far left users around here. The few reasonable moderates I’ve seen are getting downvoted for incredibly normal comments. Then I recently found the conservative sub and that place is just a mess. Even in their own space all the posts and comments are downvoted.
I am genuinely concerned for these people. Shutting everyone down and running away from people you disagree with doesn’t make them magically disappear. It’s just creates more division and less understanding at every turn.
It’s not even just a problem here though. Even in my own family the far left thinking and shutting out all who even slightly disagree leads to problems. I tried to warn them that Trump was probably going to win and they didn’t believe me. Being in California and surrounded by deeply blue/left people 24/7gives you a warped sense or reality. The bubble is so big around here that many people don’t even realize they are in a bubble.

i think it’s gotten considerably worse since the election, which is to be expected, from both sides.
I need to go make a eudaimonia post i think.

Oh yeah, the conservative sub is ridiculous too…but it’s contained. The left shit is everywhere around here. It’s like oxygen.
Majorllama@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I got sorta yelled at on here for “only attacking the left” and I was like… I can’t attack people who aren’t around now can I?
I have seen like one or two "right"comments in the sea of lefty circle jerkin that’s permeated this entire site. It really is as abundant as oxygen around these parts.
I’m still gonna stick around and attempt to engage in meaningful discussions from time to time, but I have already had comments deleted and been banned from subs for saying very normal and accurate things. Now I’m not surprised that I was banned from the Vegan sub instantly, but still. The mod abuse and censorship here seems even worse than reddit which is honestly kinda impressive.

im worried about the US voter populous, they seem to have left any semblance of intelligence where they were born.

I’ll have you know at least 20% of my shitposts have been posted while I was outside.
So there!
