In the UK there is some similarity between liberal and left wing ideas, despite them being distinct political groups. Liberalism was originally seen as very left wing, a lot of people are now arguing that there is more in common with right wing politics, small state and such.
I’d say my experience here has been much more left wing than liberal though, just my opinion.
This is kind of the derision that I’m talking about. (I am assuming that you are talking about the right wing). Whilst there is some truth to it, you disagreeing with them or their arguments doesn’t mean that it isn’t interesting, or worthy of discussion or debate.
I do agree that hate speech should be banned and that isn’t what I’m interested in.
I’m not interested in the MAGA point of view per se, I’m interested in a diverse spectrum of ideas and opinions that reflect a real cross section of society, where undoubtedly some of them will be MAGA people. Whereas there is a very strong left leaning bias here.
Thanks for this. Will definitely check out those instances.
I was rather annoyed about losing the headphone jack but now I don’t have one I honestly don’t miss it.
You can get a decent midrange set of wireless headphones for £30ish, the sound quality is indistinguishable from wired and I no longer have wires tying themselves in to bird’s nests or getting caught in things. I have an over ear pair and the battery lasts for ages.
Inb4, if you’re a audio engineer you can probably tell the difference but to an average listener the experience is the same, a lot of people like to kid themselves that the difference in sound quality is really noticeable
I’d be getting bored if it was an echo chamber of any flavour.
As I’ve said in other comments, I’m here to learn and part of that means exposing myself to people that do not think alike to me. I’m not hear to circle jerk about how right we are, maybe that was fun the first few thousand times, it’s just boring now.
Ideally I’d like to get involved with a broad spectrum of people that somewhat represent the society that we live in.
Maybe I should just get offline and go to the pub.
