[bizarre tariff diagrams. I straight up have no clue what you mean by any of these]
tariff is tax on imported good. you import good, you pay tariff. foreign party not pay tariff
goal of tariff is reduce import. tariff not really work

Isn't it the case that every single presidential election that has happened since I was born, the losing side always says the other cheated? I can remember this going back to like at least 2004. They can't ALL be rigged.
............................. ............................. ...........right
they are all rigged in the sense that the two-party system is fundamentally at odds with democracy and the people who could change it, i.e. the people we elect, benefit directly from it and will never do so

i don't critique conservative echo chambers because they lack critical thinking and social awareness. i thought liberal echo chambers would be at least 10% better but it's not. it's like an identical copy of the radical right except they dye their hair more frequently.
okay. lol
they walk on eggshells around you because they know one wrong opinion will terminate their friendship or send you spiraling into a psychosis
well they don't actually. but alright. if you say so mr forum user
i could be your friend in an alternate universe. i would never treat you differently for your political votes or opinions, i would value your opinion regardless of how much i disagree with it. even right now i harbor no animosity toward you or see you differently for your beliefs.
we are in the middle of a conversation where you're intentionally being inflammatory and presumptuous about my interpersonal relationships because I disagree with you. so I don't believe u really. I wonder if maybe the disconnect here is that you think being superficially polite is what kindness is
however, your belief that you must segregate from people you perceive as 'hating your existence' would worry me immensely.
well let's open this one up to the floor. can we get momentum or thearmyguy or someone to share their thoughts on my gender and then let us know whether they want to hang out with me and all my other gay and transgender friends
it's not clear to me why you edited out about half of that middle part, but I'm not going to delete my responses

I think you misunderstand the situation frankly. I'm not excluding kindhearted people who care about me and want to have a real friendship with me. conservatives don't like me either. and it's not because of my policy views, it's just because I'm weird and I don't act like them. nobody gives a stuff about policy, as a matter of fact conservatives frequently agree with leftist positions when you discuss them without the various buzzwords the RNC rotates through on a monthly basis. but what they emphatically do not want is for me to have access to estradiol, to marry a man, to have the gall to ask that I be referred to by a name that I like. etc. these aren't matters of framing. at best they are woefully propagandized, at worst they truly think their personal Ick Level should determine how other people live their lives. either way that's not my responsibility to correct

the family members and former friends I alluded to in the first post I made in this thread weren't cut off because of their thoughts on taxation or gun rights or whatever bullstuff you're imagining. it was because they think that I should be prevented from doing the things in my personal life that will make me happy. things which, notably, do not have any effect whatsoever on them or anyone else. I'm not interested in having a relationship with someone who can't so much as stop themselves from giving me a dirty look when I mention a romantic partner of mine. I'm just not gonna hang out with people who think my life should be worse because they think it's gross. your misguided insistence that the poor widdle reactionaries just wanna be fwiends isn't going to convince me that I actually shouldn't require that the people I choose to have interpersonal relationships with hold a basic fundamental level of respect for me as an individual

one day maybe I'll meet some of these earnest and well-adjusted republicans you seem to know. but until then I'll probably hold onto my policy of not spending my life with people who believe that I am a symptom of moral decay

i like how you label me as a Annoying Orange guy/republican when, if you bothered to read my previous post, i am not. though at this point it's really not surprising that you will lump anyone to the right of you as all the same people.
is the implication of this post that it should be important to me exactly where you fall on the political compass? like I said, I don't really care what your fiscal policy preferences are in this context, the only thing that matters is how you feel about the other parts, and calling me a "cigarette" does make your position known. so why should I bother with identifying your exact political ideology before writing you off? does it matter whether some random richardhead is a registered republican or a lifelong libertarian?

if you had a child who wanted to voted for Annoying Orange, would you kick them out?
no because they're a child bro. what do u mean by that
your social life is an echo chamber of your own design. are you really so fragile and insecure about your opinions that you must isolate from everyone that disagrees with you?
actually i just dont hang out with people who Don't Like Me. the republican party is openly and excitedly hostile towards transgender people. it's not like a secret plot or something they regularly pass or try to pass laws that actively make my life, and the lives of people i care about, worse. it is one of their core policy positions. and you can't be down for that and also be my friend lol
if you're so proud of who you are, why are people's opinions allowed to undermine you to the point where you must cut them out of your life? it's almost as if you're afraid that what they're saying is true, and you're subconsciously terrified of the truth.
yea anything can be "almost as if" anything else if you're talking out of your ass. how many LGBT events do yall attend? ever been to a drag show? isn't it funny how it's only when you reject conservatives that you create an echo chamber. like do you think anyone in Annoying Orange's cabinet is gonna have blue hair and pronouns? would that be based or what?
you're like those bullies in high school drama movies that always surrounds themselves with a clique of subservient underlings who are always there to validate their stuffty opinions. the common themes in these movies is that the bully's friends usually realize that their friendship is superficial and betray the bully, learning that being themselves is more important than validating someone's insecure narrative.
you literally know nothing about how I interact with other people outside of this forum. I don't think we've ever even talked one-on-one. this is a lot of inane conclusions drawn from one piece of information, ie, that I don't like Annoying Orange voters. i have a lot of meaningful relationships with friends and indeed even family members who value me as an individual, which republican voters, without fail, do not

i dont have 2 cut anyone off for voting for Annoying Orange because anyone who would consider that is already not in my life. skill issue @ everyone else. love the way republicans are always like "it's just a difference of opinion" but also famously kick their own children out for being gay or trans

I have had a difficult time keeping up with these updates since July, as there is so much happening every day at this point. Also, I have the general sense that no one here really cares all that much so I am kinda just talking into the void but now there's two days in a row of coordinated attacks by Israel in it's neighboring country of Lebanon, where they targeted and blew up electronic devices.

this is one of the things that saddens me the most about the idea of dying suddenly. who's gonna tell all my online friends what happened to me.
oh my god same. I'm not that worried about dying in general but I'm terrified of everyone having to wonder where I went. i have to set up something to make sure people can be notified somehow lmao

this is like half of what this thread was about
https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=328264.0

to answer the final question posed by this thread, no i have not. people who randomly disappeared like this, no. gradually losing contact is one thing, and I've certainly reconnected with some people like that before, but not anyone who's vanished. I think that's just part of having a social life on the internet. some people don't treat these relationships with any kind of significance really, they don't see a problem abandoning people they know online out of the blue. I think it's sad but ultimately this is the way it is. you just have to trust that the other people you care about do actually care about you, otherwise everything sucks forever
