As an outsider watching all this going on, it seems the last thing anyone seems to want is a discussion; you're either on board or a racist. It's all very odd.
- godelski 6y agoAs an insider it is quite frustrating. The discussions seem to be just polarized to ends that are both ridiculous. "No police vs police should be more violent." "Open borders vs deport everyone and build a wall." Etc. The vast majority of people don't hold the positions on the extremes, but we talk like they are the representative voice. And look even at these comments. I said "These people are not the representative voice" and people are responding "But I know people that believe this! They aren't the majority, but they exist!" How is that the top response to my comment?! The comment is ironically the problem I'm specifically addressing. But I don't know what is unclear and how to tackle this. Feedback needed.
