It's the purest echo chamber I personally have witnessed on the internet, but then again I dont go looking for extremist level echo chambers so I'm sure there are worse out there.

If you have an opposing view you will be attacked and eventually banned- people that disagreed with the Qanon/trump assault on the white house were banned if they pushed back against the crazies. (they had an active QAnon thread there that was their most popular & longest running thread if that tells you anything)

They have posts there that will receive hundreds of upvotes and nearly zero downvotes and vice versa. It's definitely not a forum for the educated, or those seeking diversity of thought.


this is pretty much the case for every left-leaning or right-leaning message board out there.

I am Phish fan so I get on Phantasy Tour which is a Phish message board, and its the exact same thing there except left instead of right.

Every politics board I ever checked out is extreme. Right or left, it's either one or the other. Middle ground or even moderate opinions are not allowed and are immediately and vociferously attacked and shouted down. I would also note that the posters on the liberal boards appear not to be any smarter or more educated than those on the conservative boards.

I agree 110%. All politicians just want to stay in office. They really don't care about what's right or wrong, they care about themselves. What we need is GOOD independent candidates.

This is why I never vote in elections. F*ck the right AND the left. They're both insufferable.

Amen to that. They're nearly all crooks. If they aren't that before, it doesn't take them long to be that after they are elected.

Yes, congress is a breeding ground for crooks. But you are right, some were crooks long before they got there.

Maybe this is about vaccine stuff but YouTube has been selectively censoring all sorts of things for years now. My assumption was it was about all of that.

At least it isn't littered with a bunch of bots and algorithms intent to distort reality.

The disclaimer is purely a CYA measure by the mask company to stave off products liability claims in the event someone was wearing a mask made by them and tested positive for COVID.


Yet the vaccine manufacturers are not responsible for any potential side effects from these rushed to market vaccines.

Weird, huh?

If the masks worked, we wouldn't have a single case in liberal run states.

But, alas, that is not the case.

But keep wearing your two masks if it makes you feel better.

Not entirely accurate. They can be sued for willful misconduct.

However, if you have an issue with the terms of the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, you can blame George W. Bush, since he signed it into law in 2005. Were you complaining about the PREPA back then as well?

Sure was. The less government involvement in people's day to day lives the better.

Just because Joe Biden is a fricking moron doesn't mean we haven't had others in the White House.

But you don't vote so you can't complain either way.

Bingo!

Oh, and fvck the bitter hyperbolic arguing about vax, mask & political bullsh*t on this board! Even our mods (TS & Boz) are sometimes instigators of it, even resorting to personal insults.



Btw: I get my Pfizer Booster Vaccine tomorrow. And I only wear a mask inside medical facilities.

Stay healthy, my friends.

I'm not complaining. I'm vaccinated and don't mind wearing a little piece of cloth over my face for the 30min that I'm grocery shopping, because even if it helps reduce the spread by .0000001% it's better than 0%.

Wait... so everyone who lives in a blue state complies, just because it's a blue state bro, you've gone so absolutist, there's probably no reeling you back into civilized discourse. It's fricking retarded to see how polarized some of y'all have become.
