Everyone has preferences and filters for everything. Wether it’s their choice of steak versus fish, movies, books or blond vs. brunette. This does - or at least should - apply to social media interaction which is absolutely a socio-political digital battleground.

Was this written for my benefit? I feel an exchange I had this week that left me toeing the block button may have instigated this. Or perhaps, Venus retrograde in Leo has all of us dealing with similar issues with needing to tell people to fuck off rather than wasting our own time with "higher ground" diplomacy.

Man, i've been banned everywhere and it's mostly been avoidable had i used the block button instead of going back and forth. These assholes will comb through all of your old posts to find something to snitch you out for.

Arguing with them is worthless anyway

The notion that not only should everyone be allowed to speak, but that you are obligated to listen, is a poison pill that retards conservatives' ability to arm themselves in a war they don't seem to know they're losing. That's all.

The enemy isn't ever going to apply this principle to themselves. It's the same as gun control: they want disarmament *for you*. Figure out what fifth generation warfare is.
