I see a lot of people perpetuating diverse thought in various posts here but I also see a lot of hateful language and bashing. I personally have never found a safe space to discuss my ideas without feeling discouraged, put down, or egnored all together. And I've spent a lifetime trying to understand how to get people to interact with my words at face value.

I don't enjoy taking sides, it makes me uncomfortable and often find myself acting as my own devil's advocate because of lack of intelligent input directly relating to what I've said.

I try to take value in both the good examples and bad that I get from people and can often find both in open and closed minds alike but not often do they understand or see the value I do in themselfs or the conversations I try to have. (Let alone me to any degree, but I see that as their flaw and keep trying to do what I know I do right)

This has left me a cast out from every group, but I feel this has given me a unique perspective. I would be surprised and delighted to see people take genuin discourse of ideas seriously, and hope this is the place to cultivate it.

I do see a bit of an echo chamber here, but I also hear your plea for intelligent response and hope this shows in time, with the right opportunity for open dialogue.

I'm not really political, I've been dealing with a great deal of my own problems and my brain power has always been directed at survival, not desire or even interest. So I can't speak to your particular fights with right, left or what have you.

What I have gotten quite knowledgeable about is interacting with people without bias, despite peoples refusal to acknowledge this trait. And the thing that I see usually perpetuating peoples negative thoughts about each other is the blinders they have up to shared traits with the ones they complain about.

Most or all the negative ideas people place on me and argue with me about have proven over time and hindsight to be problems they had with themselfs. The fix to this is quite simple but not easy. Looking within you can be more clear and honest about yourself, this makes what they think they know irrelevant when you are busy progressing past pretty arguments your focuse can be on enacting change outside of the back and forth system that has you trapped bickering with each other.

I realize there are details about politics that are likely lost on me, and so in some aspects my opinion is likely a little naive. But sometimes a new perspective can be enlightening, even from the mouth of children focused on little more than what is right in front of their faces. Sometimes its what's right in front of our faces we lack sight of when we are busy arguing aganst someone else's point.

They're hypocrites, that's why.
