I am a classic liberal and fiscal conservative...I doubt you are an authoritarian leftist...they are violent and racist, historically and currently as with antifa...I love my sensible liberal democrat and republican friends...but that is not the ideology being pushed by global leftist...I have hardly been blocked online...but more personal friends...who had no problem with my words until the last election and are now programmed to attack even though I did not vote for Trump...but you are quite correct...as John Lennon said, "If your friends don't like you because of your politics, then get new friends"....I am glad I have real friends here, as you...take care

Dark humor, prog rock, and afternoon tea are your best exports, dearest...I would be a honery cuss without those in my pocket...

Ahavati said:Wow. I am a liberal and proud to be leftist vs the conservative right here in America. But had no idea that I was only tolerant of other liberal ideologies. I have some really good friends who are "right-wing conservatives" ( since we're labeling ), and just as ( a vegetarian ) I can sit across someone eating a steak - I can also agree to disagree without losing my tolerance. I don't understand them; I don't understand why they voted Trump; I don't understand why some of them are opposed to gay marriage or pro-choice ( when it doesn't involve them ). But, they're my friends and have been for years so I respect their choices and opinions. Doesn't mean I agree with them because I respect them. But they, as I, have a right to live their life as they choose.
But make no mistake, I am not guided by anyone or anything outside my own moral compass.
I am the last one to advocate for facebook, particularly it's new AI algorithm getting it wrong. I mean really wrong at times. But I am in social media management therefore make the best of it. It sounds to me like you have a friend problem - not a facebook problem. It's not facebook that's blocking you, but your "friends". Some things are what you make them regardless of what others do. People block me, good riddance. The Universe pruned them from my life, and now I don't have to worry about a frenemy. . .

I am somewhat surprised at the wide angle labeling of all liberals vs some. They are't the ones sounding intolerant in this thread.
Signed
The Lefty pointing out how not mean this thread is. It is what it is - everyone's opinion.
And to me this is where conversations should start from
There is no ill intent in your words and there's no "gotcha trap"
Political dialogue has become for the most part more dogmatic on both sides with grand sweeping generalisations.
I can see why people voted for trump and why people are appaled by him
The amount of lies spun about him and words taken out of context is ridiculously one sided. However trump is an affect the symptom is the inability to draw a border aroung those like yourself who are reasonable, intelligent, articulate and lacking malice
And ANTIFA hyper radicals
Or black lives matter activists screaming fuck the police
On the opposing side there's an inability to draw a border around the conservatives that are in the same place as you without malice but have a slightly different conceptualization of society
And the religious fudamentalists
Or the neo-nazis
People have blurred the lines with adherence to generalization and interpersonal attack as opposed to a criticisim of ideas.
A lot of peiple get so invested in their ideas they become part of their identity; so you transgress someones "personhood" when you criticize the ideas and the bog down in dogma makes it adversarial instead of complimentary.
You can be critical of christianity and not hate a christian
You can be critical of trans ideologues and not be transphobic
You can be a feminist and not hate men
You can be an anti feminist and not be a misogynist
However the polarization has forced the radicals of either sidw to the fore with the help of social media.

Left right left right, always ends the same in a concentration camp or a gulag.

Nope; there's not.

The pendulum can swing too far either way.
I can see why people voted for trump and why people are appalled by him

This is where we separate because I honestly can't. I mean I get the mentality and all; however, this is not some mayoral election in a small town; but the presidency of the United States. And such should be held by someone whose morals and integrity are barely questionable. I say 'barely' because everyone who holds that office will come into question for some allegation or past experience. But, Trump? I mean the man won't even turn over his tax returns. He's filed bankruptcy six times. I won't go into the small contractors he swindled, from personal drivers to toilet makers, who all won in a court of law after suing Trump. I'm not going to reference his obvious misogynistic tendencies nor the character of his wife's modeling career. Which proved to me the same people who called out Michelle Obama's sleeveless dress "tacky" and "tasteless" for a first lady, excused Melania's nude photos as "art".
This is hypocrisy at its finest. "If I like you it doesn't matter what you do, I'll excuse it and forgive you. If I don't like you, I'll find a reason to condemn you, then weave the handbasket for you to ride to hell in."
The majority of Americans voted Clinton, who won the popular vote by 2.8 million votes. However, the electoral college votes. . .and that's all I'll say about that because it's a dead horse which may very well rise from the grave come 2020.

There is a different generation who, for the most part, doesn't even know how to debate without becoming personal. It's flabbergasting to me attempting to converse with such mentalities that become angry if you don't agree with their points so they attack you personally. Or blatantly ignore what you're bringing to the table for discussion. It's this mentality that is both prevalent within and toxic to society as a whole.
It's been steadily gaining traction since the mid 50's, when President Eisenhower, a Republican, encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," to the pledge of allegiance, which was written by a socialist minister Francis Bellamy in 1892, because he had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in any country without feeling excluded. And, despite Bellamy's daughter objecting to this alteration, it was passed nonetheless because, God.
So, as a writer, think about that really, really hard. Because your own words could very well become someone else's in the future, thus altering your true intent.
And, while the snowball may have started prior to the mid 50's, it gained traction and began rolling with that very action, enabling a Christian God to hijack a country who formed itself on the foundation of theft and murder to escape religious dominance. And some people literally think the pledge was written that way. . .they're clueless of history.
But I digress because, facts. And the toxic ignorant are always going to ignore those.

An anthology written by every person on the internet, ever. Surprised it’s not in the published authors thread.
Which is what makes it so hilarious when people on the internet act snooty or like they're above others - when clearly they're not. Unless, of course, it's something they want to discuss. Then it's okay.

People unhappy with the outcome of their lives will always seek to undermine what they perceive as a system trying to control them and keep them in check.
Or they will align themselves with what they perceive as "the lesser evil" and character assassinate "the greater evil" and those they perceive aligned with it.

I’m here because I understood there would be strap ons. That’s the title of the thread. I mean at least people would smile more if there were more rubber cocks.

And here I thought you were simply rolling your eyes at those who had ( or will have ) something to contribute to the actual discussion aside from the title. My bad. " "
