You're upset that your friends have different political opinions than you? And you're blaming Facebook for this? Why?

- frabcus 8y agoIt's not difference of opinion that is the problem - it's often quality of argument. Political discussions generally these days are very low quality - not actually trying to work out the best policies that will work best for society. Just posting memes. Little listening. Each side in an echo chamber. People unable to explain why they think things.
- 0xffff2 8y agoIs that wrong? I have virtually no interest in politics. It's unlikely that I'm going to remain friends with anyone who expresses particularly strong political views, left or right. I just don't care, and find it too exhausting to be bothered most of the time. If the only place I see/hear those views is on Facebook, it might be easier to drop Facebook than to drop those friends.
- shrimp_emoji 8y agoHow do you do it? I find myself so wrapped in what feels like a fundamental struggle for our future, which could be so amazing or so horrible depending on the glacial shifts in collective will and which I may be able to influence if only I ignite enough low-bandwidth arguments. Posting is warfare.
