This is great suff and I agree for the most part.

I have not been occupying right spaces online. Don’t have the time / energy. And I don’t really put in the effort to try to change anyone’s mind Online because people are change resistant online.

But

I do argue politely IRL for things that would help. Better infrastructure, trains, good jobs, love everyone, let people do what they want, and made in America. Still unlikely to change minds but at least making friendships with people different from me.

I guess my overall thesis would be: online discourse is has proven unproductive. I’m tired of reading vitriol and “other side is so dumb wow.”

Disappointed to see the echoiness of the echo chamber on Lemmy
