as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.

edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don’t know the reason since i’m not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he’s still up for the candidate) supporters. don’t know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.

    Must be difficult to live in a country where you think 49% of the people there are so dangerous.

    You’re applying peer pressure, you’re trying to signal purity, but it’s not a convincing argument. It just means I’m less likely to listen to your following argument after you’ve said terrible things about me.

      At least 49%. I’d say that about 25% near the center are OK, but 75% of the people outside that center are batshit crazy on some important issue or another.

      It’s extraordinarily difficult thinking that a majority of the people are an honest, open conversation away from making a scene.

        On both sides, probably.

          Most of the right, and a good chunk of the left.

          80% of lawyers, 90% of politicians, 98% of salespeople. 100% of lobbyists.

      I really don’t care. I’m not American, I don’t live there. It’s on you.
