Honestly its just when asking questions about the political beliefs people hold close to their identity, especially on forums where they are already defensive, you have to do the work to phrase your questions in particular ways that don’t make anyone feel as though they are being disagreed with. If they feel like they are talking to a political opponent, they don’t feel motivated to answer well, or answer.
I mean, you can do whatever you want, but I’ve found you can’t get decent answers in places like this unless you do the emotional labor to make the people you are speaking to feel comfortable.
I can’t tell if you are just angry and on a weird internet tantrum or a communist who made this account to do a bit
Can’t tell if you’re just outta anything smart to say or just want me to confirm whatever little paranoia you got
I can’t tell why you commented on a day old comment to start an argument with someone who doesn’t really care that much.
I can’t tell why someone who doesn’t care all that much wants to keep replying to me
I mean I don’t really care about the topic you are speaking about
But I am bored
honestly mood
I can tell, 70 comments in the 3 hours your account has existed lol
I made it to ask a question, it did not go over well. My friends tell me I speak suspiciously, this may not help.
