Do the left ever go to uncensored forums to challenge their world view?

[Gospeedracer]

The woke seem to love echo chambers. Welcoming questions seems to be a right wing trait not a left wing one. Woke professional educators mostly respond to Questions with attacks relying on fear and intimidation to discourage the use of logic and reasoning that could expose their questionable rhetoric that could never hold up outside of an average heavily censored environment.

Please let me know where you go to actually debate people with opposing views if your A SJW.

Yes all the time because my views hold up to scrutiny

No my GAG bubble is my safe space

[Syntosi]

As someone on the left, I find plenty of people to argue with on this very website. I also reject the idea that it is the leftwing that avoid challenging their worldview. Specifically because the right wing always isolate themselves into their own small groups to the point where they have their own little social media sites and forums and such where they can talk with others that shares the same ideology and views.

The left does not have that. More specifically, it does not NEED to have that since this is the type of behavior mostly associated with cults and other groups that relies on isolating its members away from contradicting opinions and facts.

After all, even you single out "professional educators" as a group that has left wing ideology. You know, as in schools and universities that is public and open to anyone seeking higher education. Likewise left wing people are more likely to interact with people from other countries because they are more open where as right wing people close themselves down and only interact with their own narrow group.

Its honestly telling that you specify "uncensored forums" because you can't accept the common public forums and therefore hide away in the corners of the internet while justifying this as normal because you are avoiding "censorship".

What I am trying to say is that maybe the left would challenge their worldview if the people who weld contrary beliefs did not run away and hide because they can't defend their beliefs in an public forum.

@Syntosi Or perhaps we just don't like arguing and see it as a waste of energy.

The right doesn't generally doesn't hide they are banished and censored. Nothing you just said makes any sense. Do you know the difference between Being exiled and hiding. You hide in general discussion forums that banish people with opposing views while accusing the banished of hiding. Your mind is to far gone I'm afraid.

[Syntosi]

@Ariesman81 Yet here you are. You are not very good at following your own advice now are you? This makes this interaction twice in a row if I am not mistaken. Granted, it does reinforce my argument that the right wing isolates themselves to their own groups and avoids confronting their worldview so thanks for the assistance.

[Ariesman81]

Yeah... I've got this problem of wanting to share wisdom with people who refuse to listen.

[Syntosi]

@Gospeedracer
Oh please, you have to go pretty far to be kicked off places like reddit and such. Its also not like they are hunting you down either, they simply have community guidelines and rules that anyone can read and follow including you. Things like not posting misinformation for example. Why do we get to define what is and is not misinformation? Because we won the culture war and you lost so you are playing by our rules.

But once again, that means you are the people hiding in the woods and avoiding challenging your worldviews, not us.

[Syntosi]

@Ariesman81 I have seen your "wisdom". I am not impressed. I mean seriously, you are even a proponent of the Christian "family unit" bullshit which is just insane.

[Gospeedracer]

@Syntosi Misinformation is really anything that you can't refute and threatens your world view. This only serves a cult based on lies. Truth needs to be tested by holding it up to scrutiny. That is the scientific method used to further human knowledge. You are a moron voided of commonsense.

[Syntosi]

Nope. Generally speaking, misinformation has already been refuted before and does not deserve to be recirculated ad nauseam. Even if that was not the case, its not hard to just not post those very specific things. The people who get banned for posting misinformation dont just accidentally do it, they have to put in some actual effort and do it intentionally.

Also you should probably look up the scientific method because that is not how that works.

[Gospeedracer]

@Syntosi you said "the truth is what I say it is because we won the culture war", Isn't that kind of like when the church said "the earth is flat because if you disagree we will kill you", right? Is that how your science works?

[Syntosi]

That is quite the strawman considering its just as valid as saying the founding fathers won their culture war and that is why you have democracy and freedom.

[Gospeedracer]

It's your argument if you think it's a strawman then why don't you clarify this point for me.

[Syntosi]

That was not an argument, it was an explanation of why something happened. Why would I need to clarify it?

“GAG is my safe space”
Frankly, no not at all this isn’t a “safe space”.
YouTube channels with a particular lean you can comment “safely” or Quora or Reddit though GAG is most definitely not a safe space for Right or Left.

I talked publicly of how I changed from Trump supporter (2016) to Center Leftist (mainly Progressive who is open minded to voting Republican candidates in the future). I talked about variety of issues from the policies I expected from both sides, which policies disappointed me / policies that rejuvenated me and what keeps me hopeful in a negative online forum.

Look, I’ve been named called from “bot” to “commie” to barking commands like “go back to China”…. Yet I stand tall here. I’m not going anywhere and I will continue to stand up for what I believe in because I love this country & all its people.

RingOfFire was a guy who blocked me because he got tired of my posts, one Trump leaning individual deleted my opinion after I answered why I wouldn’t bet on Biden investments curing cancer by 2031 AND why I wouldn’t bet on Elon Musk getting humans to Mars 2028 in waves under Trump, I said I’d rather keep the money than make a bet that will surely lose on both ends explaining in great detail.

I’m not in a safe space and I don’t care because I’m voicing my concerns, my true beliefs, and my stances whether or not they go against the traditional Right or the traditional Left I piss off both sides from time to time.

[msmissydc]

I wonder the same about the people I specifically go to that are up for discussions. Only reason to stay with leftist is, to keep discussions factual. Right winged people never get their facts right. Like literally never! Its like they are cursed to not be able to use facts.

[Sevenpointfive]

of course they do. free speech forums are made for just that. you might look and get attacked like an idiot, but most of the time the stupid are ignored.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Usually its the right and extreme rightwing people who hide in the safety of their echo chambers.

[Gospeedracer]

No they are banished or exiled. Try and post something Extreme right wing then, If you ever tried you would know It will get taken down in less then 15 mins and most other places you will be shadow banned or completely banned.

[Avicenna]

Nah, when they leave their echo chambers they donut to spew leftist propaganda.

[BarryLiverstone]

Steven Kenneth Bonnell II And David Parkman do

[Gospeedracer]

I don't know who Steven is but I have never seen David Parkman debate on a forum of any kind let alone a unrestricted one. I think I've seen him respond to somethings without getting any type of rebuttal which is not anything close to resembling a debate.

[BarryLiverstone]

You can Google who Steven is. I am surprised you haven’t heard of him

[Gospeedracer]

His face looks familiar to me, Do you go to Uncensored forums to debate? Actual far right and left debates are rare but the ones I have found the right seemed to answer Question directly and the left avoided answering questions and mostly relied on subject changing type tactics.

[BarryLiverstone]

I can’t see how an open debate between a far right and far left person would yield any value. Both would be more concerned with sin winning the debate and tactics than actually being good faith.

I have seen debates between people on the right and left and some are more entertaining than others.

[Anonymous]

Clearly some of them do, sadly a lot of them don't
