I'm tired of hearing people cry about being offended from every little thing. You're literally being offended right now by a drag queen gay looking mockup of Putin, that Putin banned because it pisses him off. Grow some skin.
And there it is. I knew someone would say that. If you see me as a crying offended sjw with thin skin, then there's no point in having this conversation. I laid out my differing perspective without being harsh or judgemental, all while feeling no offense.
Personally I'm tired of the right wing talking points that dismiss any different perspective as weak. I'm tired of communities like Lemmy becoming more divisive, with users seeing each other as enemies and not giving others the benefit of the doubt. I'm tired of typing out long comments that I put thought into, hoping people will respond like decent humans, and getting brain dead insults and defensive arguments.
I'll make a deal with you, I'll grow thicker skin if you grow some empathy.
Not the one you replied to, but I've read all your comments and they are well thought out and right. Just seemed like you deserved to and maybe needed to hear that.
I really appreciate that. I know it's not the most popular opinion and it really isn't a big deal, but I'm honestly surprised by the response here. I've been losing hope that this was a good place for open discussions, but maybe I just need a break from social media in general lol
You think I'm right wing? You offend me!
I mean... yeah. Are you not? I don't usually hear people on the left call others too sensitive in that way. That's pretty much verbatim what you hear on Fox News five times a day every day
Why do you watch fox news that much?
I didn't say how much I watch fox news. Because I don't watch it. Why do you ask pointless questions?
