The reason I ask is that some silly anti-Democrat memes disappeared from a discussion I started. While I can't know for sure what happened to them, I doubt the person who posted them had a change of heart and deleted them. While I didn't appreciate the memes, they represented the views of the poster and I don't see any reason they should have been moderated. If I don't defend views I disagree with, I would be giving up the right to my views. What are your thoughts?
I don’t take it personally. Being called “woke” or “liberal” doesn’t really bother me. Usually, it comes from people with pretty extreme political views, so it’s mostly a reflection of their own perspective.
I consider myself fairly middle-of-the-road, politically. Some of my views lean left, some lean right, and I've voted for 3 different political parties over the last 10 years (Conservative, Liberal and Labour). I try not to be too judgmental of others, except when it comes to those who are extremely intolerant or consistently show a lack of empathy. Having said that, I often feel a bit sorry for them, tbh! Stuck in an echo chamber that only amplifies negativity, can’t be a nice place, mentally.
