ohhh
whups im kinda a lurker then
but ill try not to be
What's it like being right-wing in california?
I have a friend who is a right winger in Berkeley. I hurt for him when he tells me about the folks where he lives. especially when he tells me about the people on his dating apps.
I am that friend, and it's true
@PiT do you go to UC Berkeley, or are you just a resident of the area
I am an alumnus of UC Berkeley and work there as staff now
I think it is also worth noting that I seek out these sorts of right-wing discussion groups because I don't feel safe talking about politics IRL
🆙 | **PiT leveled up!**
@fhtagn has called the area where I live "Antifaland", and not without cause
"because I don't feel safe talking about politics IRL"
wow, it's that bad? I don't even mind talking about politics here in NYC
I can't talk about politics here, really
and my views aren't even as far right as most Republicans
That's probably because you're a beta tbh.
Alphas don't have issues.
That said
I think it's really reasonable to want to use Discord or something to discuss politics in PiT's scenario.
UC Berkeley is infamous.
Even without the violence there
They've always had a reputation for being far-left, and they're in a far-left area of a far-left state.
In NYC I could oddly politics going well
because it's very urban and there's like...
Over a million Trump supporters in one city
To say the least
Yeah, I can't trust Democrats on a good day; it gets worse when you have Antifa intimidating the Berkeley College Republicans...which the university administration acknowledged in an email to the campus community
hey folks. any californians here?
I see possible a couple up there in history
We are here, but there is not too many and for the most part we are busy with IRL stuff
One trouble is that a lot of people who were more active in the summer are now busy with college (or high school)
Or kicked as far as califorinan users go 😀
are you referring to the furry or the brony
A touch on @Snoipah 's question, to be right wing in this state really bites, a lot of my rights are on the fence in public places I should feel okay to express myself in (my high school).
Either you get into trouble with the Administrators or people just think youre a dick.
I have to be careful of what I wear/say around teachers too because if they find out I am indeed right-wing, they will be biased on grades.
For example, one semester of English nobody ever knew I was a Republican, and I had an A in the class. As soon as I did a presentation on 2A rights, in the second semester, my grade went down to a B- all after that.
The hypocrisy of the left, supporting Colin Kaepernick calling it his right to free speech, but oh no for people like me you are silenced by everyone including the media.
Its pathetic.
You're lucky if all you have to worry about is a bad grade. I have to work, so I absolutely cannot afford to talk about my political leanings in their company. My coworkers aren't SJW by any means, but normies are easily seduced into believing far-left talking points, like, say, supporting Kavanaugh against his accuser makes you a rape apologist.
It's funny(not in a haha funny) how people made jokes on 4chan about "hiding their power level" back in 2010, but now it's something you actually need to do or people will treat you like garbage.
That might be the ace in the hole for the right, because during the 2016 election the silent majority revealed said power level. The left believes that "if we keep people quiet about their opinion, their opinion will change" but the only way to change someone's opinion is letting them dig their own grave.
