I don’t have much of a problem either way as I don’t think I’ll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That’s fine. There’s clearly a more liberal audience here and that’s okay. I just don’t want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.

Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I’m new here.

    Okay. Hyperbole much? I wrote some arguments. You didn’t counter any of them. You simply wrote an inflammatory post. I’m not mad at you, I’m just debating you. It’s fine if you don’t want to debate. But whatever the case, there is no need to throw insults at random internet people. Might as well assume the best and engage positively. It’s a new community here. I know internet flame wars are fun, but I think we should move beyond that.

      So you’re telling me that you’re not lying about the PhD? Is that really what you’re saying? You’re trying to make me believe that you went through probably 7 years or more of schooling, and you hold the opinions that Native Americans on the whole benefited from contact with Europeans, that we should all just pretend like racism doesn’t exist, and that learning about race and gender somehow “erod[es] many useful and productive enlightenment ideas”? I honestly have no idea how you have the gall to tell bald-faced lies and get flustered when people are angry at you because of it.
