Not the OP, but more and more it seems that if you are not 100% unequivocally clear, someone will attack you as if you agreed with a polemical point.
I think this is in part due to the "chilling effect". I've been there myself. I have to be super clear that I don't endorse nor necessarily agree with some point lest I find myself being equated with the worst of the worst...regardless if I agree or not with said point.
It's very sad actually.
- ovao 9y agoThat's it in a nutshell, yes. And I agree that it's sad, but it's something I only tend to feel compelled to do on very divisive political topics, so it's not too bad, really.
- saganus 9y agoAgreed that it's not too bad because as you say, only a few topics warrant such a reaction. Unfortunately... it seems like, as time passes by, more and more subjects require such careful treatment. I absolutely hate it...
