Being enabled to shut conversation down is becoming a real problem but being enabled to say what the ****** you want regardless of the consequences is just as bad and its the very thing thats brought about all these 'safe spaces and a broader PC climate.
Yeah the internet has alot to answer for from both sides.
The extremes from both ends are shown in all there glory and smashed together creating divisions and verbal and ideological wars.It magnifies Political differences and creates monsters.
I still find it weird tbh.Being able to access the opinions of billions of people you’d never have crossed paths with.
People get balls of steel when they’re behind a keyboard.
I do try and make an effort to not say anything online that I wouldn’t say irl and realise that it is absolutely futile to get into silly arguments on the internet with people I don’t know.
