I personally think its better for people to talk irl to make a real difference
People rarely do that now.
I work in public sales and the amount of people who dont know what simple tech is is astonishing
people are more susceptible to irl convos you just have to put in the effort
They discuss with like minded individuals in their own echo chambers as opposed to contending with those who have different political opinions.
The ones who have time to sit around and follow politics on social media 24/7 are the ones who care.
im moving to a super small town in 2 days... i bet ill deal with alot of people in person
H3h3 taken down rip
Because at this point talking politics with people who don't share your views is social suicide.
It was never a SMART idea
Its actually frightening how little the internet has affected conservatives
thats not entirely true zy it depends on your approach
And most liberals
People will delete you, cut you out of their life, and slander you incessantly if you dare to voice an opinion they disagree with.
Well, it's not in all cases @Naveronasis .. But in many, unfortunately. It's subjective to who you're speaking to, and whether or not they're reasonable.
9 OUT OF 10 PEOPLE I asked dont know what antifa is nor social justice warriors
As someone who has canvassed for an election campaign i seriously think talking face to face is more effective
The sad fact of the matter is that a substantial percentage of the population is **not** reasonable whatsoever.
The censorship kicking up over night hardcore is insane
people get the most defensive when you imply they are wrong or try to convince them of your side, but if you ask questions and get them to explain their belief, then explain your own without trying to undermine their position you can have a very effective dialectic.
Fair enough.
normies arnt that connected i agree with Eros
its because people online now are looking for victories not conversations
Most people dont give a fuck about your side bc theyre working 50 hour weeks and slacing to get home to do chores
People have been petty and politically violent since the dawn of man. The difference now is that society is very dependent on electronic communications, and due to convenience, society allowed the vast majority of it into the hands of a few thousand people in San Fran.
A big part of the issue is that even a lot of conservatives are irrationally hostile when conversing with liberals.
Some people don't seem to understand that calling them SJW snowflake fags to their face isn't an effective method of reaching common ground with them.
@AnthonyLaCosaNostra exactly
There -has- to be mutual respect and civility.
Lol working america doesnt give a fuck about most things the "internet" freaks out about
/\
@Zykritch bullshit
the left is violent
And they just laugh at companies who react to it
Not all of the left, Contro.
Some of them.
A large portion, sure. But not every leftist is a radical Antifa member.
agree not all of the left but the majority of the alt left
The right is violent too, by those standards.
the right has been violent but recently how violent have they been ?
