> One side is advocating to be more aware of systematic racism and the other tried to incite revolt while rejecting the validity of our last election. One is advocating for a large discussion and the other is working against democracy.
On some level, you must be aware that the other side frames these issues differently than you do, but with the same ferver and honesty as you.
I happen to believe you're both spouting a load of ill-founded, partisan-driven, ad hoc beliefs, so I'm yet another point of view.
Oh, and "large discussion"? Most people who share your ideology at Google, Facebook, and the like seem much more interested in imposing their point of view on others than in any "large discussion". To they contrary, if we express disagreement in discussion regarding certain issues, they try (and often succeed) in having people like us fired.

- monoideism 5y ago> Turns out Republicans are the ones who are less likely to live in a bubble of conservative beliefs That's not surprising, given that liberal beliefs dominant our cultural landscape (eg: mainsteam media, Hollywood, social media, tech companies, colleges+universities, primary+seconday education, most corporations, etc, etc). It's pretty much impossible to live in a total bubble of conservative beliefs unless you live in a compound in a rural area. On the other hand, it's quite easy to live in a bubble of liberal beliefs in a typical large American city.
