This was from a comment waaaaay down-thread earlier this week, on a post about California Secession (a wedge issue backed by Russia). Thought you’d find it interesting.

    As usual on lemmy, I’m always the one being harassed for having a political opinion different than the “norm”.

    Absolutely not true. You are being called out for literally threatening to use violence against someone with a different opinion.

    I don’t think I’m arrogant or elitist (not in my wildest dream elitist), maybe a bit antisocial ok.

    A bit?!?

    Yes, I like to defend my positions and opinions, we don’t have to agree.

    Good. Then do it in a civil way.

    I also understand why other “commie” or socialist don’t want to deal with liberals at all, look at how I’ve been treated here just because I said i have a different political belief.

    Absolutely not true. You are being called out for literally threatening to use violence against someone with a different opinion.

    This is why we hate on tankies.
