You dont make yourself very clear at all you just argue for the sake of arguing - your logic itself is entirely inconsistent you seem to just justify whatever you feel like under the guise of you being open minded

anyway its crazy every time I glance at this forum the same dudes being argued with clearly he has his mind made up
Theres a lot of hate in the world right now and I reflect on this forum a lot, for as horrible this place is it has given me a lot of insight into how things got to where they are now, and to the loneliness epidemic out there. I wish politicians would speak more to the youth and their issues, I am tired of hearing ancient ass oldheads preaching to a choir of other oldheads. School shootings are so normalized and Im tired of talking in circles about guns. I am very pro gun control (as in like, background checks necessary and no guns in public settings) but overall like, our youth feel like its worth it to kill each other. Whether thats for meme points (disturbing enough on its own), out of loneliness, repressed anger, to look cool, or out of a twisted sense of mercy. When I read these stories I see the faces of many of the people I acquainted with on this forum, and though I obviously dont have the answers I cant help but dwell and wonder what the solution is. Picture this forum in 2007 when we were kids, how do you prevent the pipeline into hatred? Idk, I was friends with Iban for a long time, and contributed to his alienation - an alienation that I very much believe influenced his life course into who he ended up.
I guess my ramble is to lead to this question - if alienation IS a major influence to the pipeline to a certain subet of youth, how do we maintain safety on the internet without alienating people we disagree with (no matter how valid)?
How do we maintain a safe and protected space for all without giving up on others? Is it even possible? If not, what do we do with those we have written off?
