The problem is, the loudest from both sides are the only ones heard today. The most extreme from both sides make the most noise, and that's the main problem here.

And if anyone dares to say anything against the general consensus from both the extreme left, and right, they're shot down and insulted. Called an idiot, a fascist, a racist, that they have no idea what they're talking about etc etc..."We are right, you are wrong". It's draining, it's not worth the hassle, people just can't be bothered with it, so they either adopt the - 'if you can't beat em join em' approach or they just stay silent and try to get on with their lives the best they can. Im sorry, but the extreme left especially are not willing to reason, they're not willing to debate, they're not willing to accept any kind of opinion that may differ from their's. Examples being - A black man is arrested by a white cop = Racist! (sometimes it genuinely is, granted). It doesn't matter if the black man is guilty or not, the circumstances are never brought into consideration, the white cop obviously singled this man out because he was black, and that's that. And if you don't holler 'racist' too, if you dare to ask questions you're deemed a racist, a white supremacist. It's bollocks quite frankly. Another example - The Trans argument, a woman is a woman, biology doesn't matter, if you identify as a woman you're a woman, if you dare speak out you're a misogynistic pig, a transphobe, you have no idea what you're talking about and so on. There is no reasoning it seems. Nothing is up for discussion anymore.

I have never, and could never support the Tories, that will never happen. But i do agree with Elon's tweet, my support for the left in the past 10 years has wavered somewhat. The very thing the left used to stand for is becoming the opposite, free speech and expression to be precise. If the smallest thing offends, it's cancelled, banned. It goes against what THEY like, so it most be gone. This is what the Tories used to do throughout history. They didn't like something, so they banned it.

Trust me, i agree with more of what the left stand for, or used to, than i do the right. But if i dare to speak out against them, im scum. This is how hundreds of thousands of people feel now, and at the end of the day it gets us nowhere!
