Nobody is willing to even entertain the idea that West isn't Best. Suggesting that whitey shouldn't rule the world is received as if you'd advocated cannibalism, and you will be condescended to and treated like an ignorant child even as they make it clear they know much less than you do about the subject at hand, if not outright ejected from the community. It's not just bots and manufacturing consent, either - it happens to me in real life just as easily as it happens online.
Anyone who isn't unconditionally anti-NATO and anti-American hegemony is a white supremacist. No exceptions.
Love this place, though. I think I'd go crazy if it wasn't for you guys. Glad I have somewhere to get this off my chest :soviet-heart:
This is how I generally feel too. I have a painfully lib co-worker, a chud co-worker, and a less painfully lib co-worker whose heart is in the right place. The third one and I often see eye to eye, to the point I've sometimes wondered if he's secretly more left than he lets on (but I think I'm coping).
The first one though, my god, comes out with the dumbest politically illiterate "taken from Reddit front page" takes and is also ridiculously smug about it. It does wind me up a bit sometimes but mostly I just see him as a loud idiot. I say enough to offer a counter to his talking points, but I'm also very aware of the environment in my lib/conservative workplace.
