I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Do you ever think the standard of English in journalism is declining? (or maybe this is Aquaman in his day job). There's another one in the subtitle - surely he can pitch with 'either' arm, not both!

People are using the "not a true journalist" line to excuse the violence against Andy Ngo. Think carefully before claiming journalists are a special class of people.

Let's take a quick sec to appreciate the fact that demands for government-provided health care, jobs, debt relief, housing, cash grants, etc. are coming from a party that used to say things like, "Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."

There is great power in being a victim, which is why every tyrant eventually claims this card and plays it.

Welcome to QOTO. I've never seen gab, though there's a lot of people on mastodon very upset about it. I'm guessing maybe they haven't ever seen it either. How would you summarize what gab is?

Yesterday while documenting an Antifa riot in Portland, Andy Ngo — a gay, Asian, independent journalist — was brutally attacked by Antifa for “being a Nazi.”
Leftist “journalists” celebrated this because they hate him for thinking the wrong things and for reporting the truth.

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted. That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

Unless it's a midterm?
I heard the same thing before the midterms from Trump supporters who were 100% sure Republicans would retain the house. I'm not sure it's something to be comfortably confident in.
