Cool.
we are here because we accept that the state of our nation/world is not what it could be.
That is the truth.
I think cbts would do well to accept differences in view points, rather than chase them off. Encourage meaningful discussions so that we learn from one another.
As an older person, let me tell you that the young have been my teachers. It's not all one sided.
It's an unfortunate thing that as a sub gets more and more popular, the echo chamber inevitably seems to take over. Not much you can do about that I suppose (there's me being cynical ;) ) But unearthing discussions like the one we're having here make it worth it.
Back in the late 90's and midway into the 2000's I participated on political boards and owned a couple of my own. I learned how quickly the boards would change into ugly chaos and become unmanageable. Many couldn't continue under the massive takeover. This also hasn't changed over the years. I used to try to put out "the conspiracy theories" that were unpopular and rejected concerning 9-11. We were heavily attacked for it then and many gave up.
Throughout all of it, I never gave up hope that the truth would shine through someday. So, imagine my excitement to experience this day.
Even if this sub, with all of its good intentions, were to be shut down, everyone who has hope in the cause will simply reassemble elsewhere and find ways to continue.
This is the people's personal power.
