question about safe spaces
In leftist spaces, right-leaning ideas are challenged. In right-leaning spaces, leftists are banned and leftist ideas are censored. Why are conservatives opposed to the free marketplace of ideas?
Serious question.
You're viewing a single thread.
Conservatives know in their hearts that they are a fringe minority when it comes to views on how to treat others.
Colbert was right reality has a liberal bias and conservatives need a safe space to pretend that the numbers are equal and that their arguments have validity.
Often times you notice conservative threads that are locked contain misinformation and outright lies. For instance they call the Russia investigation a hoax.
If reality pierces that bubble they are shown for the fools they are so they have to pretend that liberals are brigading in bad faith and not simply showing conservative views are simply invalid factually.
Thanks for the reply. This sounds a lot like how AM / Talk radio works on the right as well. Leftist talk shows actually bring on interesting guests, but right wing shows always cut the mic when the guest says something thought-provoking.
I would think conservatives would benefit from having their ideas challenged. It was the main reason why I started paying more attention to leftist ideas: they are actually defensible.
You see the same censoring on right YouTube as well. "so and so owns WOKE Trans non-binary sheep" but it's really just a clip that's cut off after their bad argument and before a logical rebuke destroys it.
That’s why there’s a comment section. These are hardly the same thing. Do you understand why they are different?
If you think calling people wrong in Youtube comments makes Youtube less likely to spread their bullshit, I have terrible news.
Who is censoring who on youtube?
Who are you talking to?
