As a right wing person, and also a person that has been a complete jerk on the Internet in the past, I’m committed to treating others with respect on this platform, I would encourage community blocking for things that you do not want to see, for example, I don’t want to see porn so I will be blocking those communities and you guys may not want to see my stories that I’m posting from a right wing news site on dank microwave taco, but it doesn’t mean that we have to block the person or be a jerk or block the whole instance that that person is on, please give me some feedback, as I am always ready to have a conversation respectfully with those that I do not agree with
My post had zero to do with politics, and you've brought it up several times already in this post for some reason?
My post was about people treating each other poorly for virtually no other reason than to be malignant.
This is getting pretty annoying on here.
Being that you can't figure it out on your own, let me spell it out for you.
The reason why he's bringing up his political views, it's because we conservatives are demonized by y'all, with your assumptions about how we behave and what we believe.
That is why he is going out of his way and being genuine with you that he will treat you with respect even though you both will disagree. I think that was pretty self-explanatory.
His point is to show you that just because he's conservative, that doesn't mean he's going to be a rude asshole to you because you don't believe what he does.
I am conservative as well, and after being on Reddit and just the internet alone and every social media site, we constantly have to prove to you that just because we're conservative doesn't mean we're a fucking asshole.
I'm still on reddit, reddit it's entirety is a left-leaning group think ecochamber. But I still use the website, and I constantly have to shift through leftist opinions even though I'm not subscribed to any political subreddits.
Quite honestly I would say it's something that conservatives have to deal with on every social media platform.
We have no choice but to coexist with you.
You claim to be tolerant, but your comment here shows the opposite.
You are projecting so much at me, saying I'm demonizing and being intolerant? I am really confused. I've not done or said any of that.
You and your friend are trying very hard to derail my post and make it about conservatism for some reason?
I really don't have anything else to say. Nothing about my post was political in any way, and I'm not going to further be pulled into this bitter loop to try to satisfy this need you seem to have to attack, accuse, and project all this hostility at me.
