But when all people do is make outraged topics about stuff on the Internet without doing anything more to actually follow through or live up to their convictions in any meaningful way, the world still goes off the rails, but the ride down just gets much more annoying for everyone else.

Being an Internet slacktivist who whines about political issues on a board where most people already agree with you just kind of borders on emotional masturbation. Sure, it makes you feel better, but what exactly have you accomplished?

That's ok, I like to follow up. And in all honesty, no offense, it sounds more like you just don't like the fact that people are talking about it because you vote Republican.

But I don't really have the time to join physical group meetups, not many people do, and last time I went to "debate" on Stormfront a nazi who looked like Santa doxxed me (very open-minded and logical people). If Potd agrees, good, they should, it actually helps prevents disingenuous people from spreading the idea to moderates that this is actually about the 10% of third-trimester abortions where the baby is ripped to itty bitty shreds in a very sad way and not just about controlling women and trying to keep them in their Christian culture where an organism with no nervous system is treated like a human being because "souls" and "God". Yeah, I think I can kind of help with that.

Guess I could go elsewhere, but eh, I have fun. :/ Here we talk about anything and that's pretty much why I come here. Say I start a YouTube channel, if I really wanted it to work out, I'd have to put a lot of time and research into making it because I wouldn't want to slip up and have to apologize. Leftist YouTube is really not as easy as it looks, I think in my current state a Nazi could throw a bogus statistic at me and just totally throw me off unless I literally spent all my time learning everything they talk about, which I can't do because I work 2 jobs, one of which is a software engineering job that literally attacks my brain. I would have to do a shitload of research. All Sargon has to do is skim headlines and rant.

Anyway if it wasn't for YouTube comment section arguments I would literally still be pro-life, thank fucking god for people who get their hands dirty. Now, those people flipped a vote. The guy who convinced me is not voting once, but 3 times. +1 from him, +1 for me not voting Republican, and +1 for me voting (Progressive Democrat and then Democrat as a fallback). Good on him. It was under a Family Guy video clip.
