> Try to be more compassionate of others and assume better intent. Again, that's a fair point and I will do so, but that's completely missing how people on my side of things are being driven to this. I can't say something like "I had covid so I'm not getting the vaccine." on Facebook without having an algorithm shadow ban my post. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/may/29/facebook-whistleblower-who-exposed-vaccine-hesitan/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/may/29/facebook-wh... I can't post my opinions here without being madly downvoted. I post legitimate evidence of the censure of my opinions and am downvoted. Youtube removes any videos critical of the Government's handling of COVID, and state governments gives beer and ice cream to people willing to take an experimental vaccine. This post will be downvoted into oblivion. When people on my side can't have a conversation with people on the other side, how are we supposed to maintain positive outlooks?

  > the brazen nature of you tribalism What tribe am I in? Am I republican? Christian? Anti-science? Anti-vax? I'm actually neither of those. What tribalism are you assuming of me? Could it be that I just have some contrarian viewpoints and have noticed those systemically squashed over the last year and a half. > ... your inability to see good in others ... is what is leading to your feelings of social censure? This idea completely washes over the very real fact that tech Cos and the Government are censoring alternative opinion.
