Don’t be afraid to speak your mind, let’s hear the braves let’s hear the cowards, come one come all

I thought we were the human race, so why dont we all just come together instead of black, blue, white or whatever lives matter. I feel like people are starting to break apart piece by piece, some quicker then others. I feel like people are starting to hurt others more then usual which is even worse. I feel like BLM isn't doing what it should be doing and that's getting black people together, showing black people there's a better life then crime, but it seems that from what it looks like, they simply want war. Ex: when they took down the statue's, I agree they should not have been there but wouldn't it be better for everyone If y'all put it in a museum so that anyone who wants to see it can. I dont like statue's to begin with so yea. Another ex is stone mountain park in atlanta, from what I saw both sides were armed with lots of different firearms and I feel like both sides are at fault for that shit. I feel like that was unnecessary and uncivilized. I thought we as a nation were suppose to be United as it says in our name but what I see is bitterness, hatred, greed, unhappiness, morals going down so low they might as well not exist, people no longer caring about what happens and are deciding to be a giant asshole instead of listening or talking it out. Ex gang wars, the roits in all these cities, the rappers being killed, and all that other shit. I feel like what Martin Luther king did was a dream compared to the nightmare that we are facing. I have seen repeated videos of what 1 man could do if he tried to stay as civilized as possible while making sure his voice was heard, by being a actual leader and showing kindness, compassion and love to one another, but what were doing is far from it. It's just turning into a all out warzone and sooner or later something really bad may happen and I dont want that to happen cause I feel like we need a better solution to everything going on.

Slavery and enslavement are the state and condition of being a slave, who is someone forbidden to quit their service for another person and is treated like property.
Slavery relies heavily on the enslaved person being intimidated either by the threat of violence or some other method of abuse.
In chattel slavery, the enslaved person is legally rendered the personal property (chattel) of the slave owner.
In economics, the term de facto slavery describes the conditions of unfree labour and forced labour that most slaves endure.
Unpaid labor is defined as labor that does not receive any direct remuneration.

And they say slavery is abolished. I say it has a different name and has a different disguise and consists of different methods of execution.

DISCLAIMER!! These are my personal opinions pertaining to politics, I ask that you respect my opinion as I would respect yours.

I'm still young and learning, and I will admit that I was foolish to fully invest into the Right. In 2016 when I was only 17 I got really into politics and seeing how the Left was going insane, being offended by everything, trying to bring Communism, having very fringe political ideas, spreading fake news, etc, I joined the right thinking that they were the better side, and at the time they kinda were. I locked myself into the Right Wing echo chamber.

Lately, I've noticed that as the years went by, the Right has become the very thing they stood up against in 2016. They're constantly offended, they refuse to be open-minded to other ideas thinking their ideas are godly, they made this weird cult around Trump and they feel the need to defend his every action, and they also twist stories to fit their narrative and ignore stories that blatantly go against their narrative.

I've been subscribed to Right Wing YouTube channels for the last couple of years to get my information from, and I'm thinking of unsubbing. Those channels are: Paul J Watson, Next News Network, Brandon Tatum, Adam Calhoun, Sargon of Akkad, Lauren Southern, WalkAway Campaign, Conservative Twins, StyxHexenHammer, No BS, and Anthony B Logan.
I haven't been watching them lately anyway because I've noticed that they all regurgitate the same thing and tend to be full of shit sometimes (but not all the time).

But I don't know what to do or where to get my info from, it seems like media is a sea of liars.

I'm mostly looking to broaden my views and get out of the echo chamber. I am not leaving the Right to join the Left, I still think the Left is way worse than the Right. I don't really consider myself as Liberal or Conservative, here is my Political Compass:

Agree or disagree?

For me, it 100% always does change my perception of the person. Because size is power.

I just made my first Fiverr order to get tabs on a guitar solo that I've been wanting to learn. I only spent $5 for a 25 second solo and the vendor was fast and excellent. But when I was asked if I wanted to leave a tip I tried to give him a $2, but Fiverr only lets you give a minimum of $5 for tips. I think that's bullshit, I only spent $5 and I can't give him less than a 100% tip, I tip my Doordash driver no more than 20%. I honestly feel bad for the vendors too, because of this bullshit tip system on Fiverr I'm pretty sure a lot of vendors are missing out on tips because of this. I am going to use this vendor again in the future, when I do I'll leave a $5 tip since I didn't leave a tip last time. Or is this how Fiverr works and I'm just a Boomer Karen.
