It really seems to be a one way street atm, where was the skeptical thinking in Brexit, the NHS promises, the Tory budget, the rampant racism, the toxic media, the responses to Windrush, 10 years of a toxic government, enough Brexit data, and people still go for it? Wow. What do you even do there?
And for the record, I've been polite with people I disagree with, I doubt people are pure racists, the writer has good points, sometimes there is no "ideal" choice, there are areas I agree with in some Lexit and the work Brexiter actually has areas I agree with too, so I don't want to stereotype people.
But you gotta own your shit too. The reaction to "oh did you know x people are going to be deported" is one of "no that won't happen" actually... "oh, no I don't believe it". Well it's the law, so yeah...?
Exposing you to others is quite tiring, I have many activists on my Facebook (bloody lefties...) and it is hard graft. I follow the 3million and the pure nonsense of the UK and Dutch politicians around issues, wow, it really does take a thick skin.
I don't always have the energy but it was "refreshing to see this discussion about immigration w/o anybody being called a racist" yeah that was a response to a post of mine.
The huge shit fest of propaganda makes the job even harder. It is all coming down on non Conservatives/right to be "reasonable" in an assymetrical war of words.
/rant over.
