There’s some real scary anger going on going even here on substack. I actually made a reasonable comment in a more liberal substack chat and got asked why is was even on a “liberal platform”. These people are self righteous delusional fools. I saw one rant by a member that used the f word so liberally regarding the national guard in DC it was clear how liberal the dude was.
Agreed. Our experience has been that some Liberals are capable of holding a conversation, while others have an innate desire to dominate cyberspace, albeit without much success.
The knee-jerk responses are almost gone - but we do have a spurt of them occasionally.
We are curious where all this is going to lead - hopefully to a more conducive environment for a conversation. Social media is a great tool WHEN it is used the right way - anonymity be damned. There will always be friction in a free speech environment; how they deliver whatever they are trying to say says more than what they are saying... :-)
