Tommy Explains

But isn't blocking people basically the same as disabling comments? Actually worse, because then you can't interact at all. That creates echo chambers and never challenges your beliefs. Opinions are a bit like muscles and bones: if you don't put pressure on them, they get lazy. All of us need to be challenged sometimes, wouldn't you agree? None of us has all the answers. I certainly don't. 🤔

Not if they're just trolls trolling and most of the blocked ones are

Ah, fair enough then lol. I'm also a bit of a troll so you might have to block me too, but I troll everyone. Where would the world be without trolls?

What if it has no text or dialogue in it? 🤔 #sneaky

Not possible; liberals can’t keep their mouths shut.

Isn’t the whole point of online politics discussions… to discuss? It wouldn’t be very interesting if one side never said anything

Arguably true. But neither can the rightwing tbf. I'm not sure I see a huge difference in that here. If anything, this place is heavily biased in favour of rightwing content which I found surprising.

Comments disabled example

Honestly I'm this tempted to just start downvoting everyone who has their comments disabled lol. What's the point of posting your opinion if you won't even let anyone engage with you dammit? How is anyone ever supposed to counter your arguments? All they can do is upvote or downvote so you get points.

When you get to the counter, just pay for your purchase and leave quietly. No arguing with the cashier, Karen.

Why not? You accept that they hate their job and take it out on you by treating you disrespectfully? Karen’s keep service workers honest and pussies and punks let themselves be treated poorly.
