Right, I’m among those. The problem is I work and am friends with a LOT of political or activist types. I refuse to virtue signal or jump into hysteria that people are engaging in. To many, it’s suspicious that I don’t say much or join in. The dude that used to post and say all kinds of political and activist stuff is now silent. I think our silence speaks deeper than the loud ones.

Well I do think the media and political propaganda, including on social media, has gone into overdrive.

Why do some still think this is the right left game? Back when I found ATS it wasn't like this. All ya'll do is take sides. OBAMA!!! TRUMP!!! Same team my fellow humans. NOTHING has changed, business as usual. THINK!!! where have the realists gone? Down with he FED! Please respond if you want to start an unbiased, truth based dialogue about the real world. NO brainwashed righties or lefties! PEOPLE ONLY!!!
Arguably 80-90% of the people I know personally are pretty brainwashed along these lines. The ones who aren’t seem pretty quiet right now unless you get them alone and mostly in person, or a few drinks in them.
Exactly, a few of us just keep our mouths shut and are ready to watch the world burn. Somewhat content in the hope that what comes out the other end will be better for all.

That too is a false binary and a bubble of your own. Plenty of left leaning people who are very aware, and have been so for decades.

There is a left/right game. Neo-cons and globalists are the uniparty, but there are still traditional conservatives.
I think I already got targeted at my last job hardcore for posting, as a liberal, heavy criticisms of Clinton and the dnc during the election. I worked under Democrat campaign folks.

It surely does, silence is often times confused with lack of intellect, it is in actuality the exact opposite.
Change the subject, tell a joke or inquire about actual, important, personal events with those close to you.
Either way, continue to hide. Lest your "subversion" be misconstrued as "wrong think".

I ask because the term you used referred to a "traditional" group of people. We need to break away from that fake ass traditional sh!t. EVERYTHING is screwed up. WE are better than this. Or maybe not?? Maybe nature will just work this virus out? WE need to evolve. Other creatures don't lie so much...

Arguably real leftists or liberals. But those words, like conservative, have become too laden with baggage. My view is that once a word becomes laden such that it divides and triggers people, obscuring convos, it’s good to consider dropping them.

Tell you what.
You joined ATS today. You made the requisite five posts and then made your first thread. However, of your five mandatory replies, all were the exact same thing, but for one, and then for your first thread, repeated again almost exactly what you repeated in those earlier replies.
Are you a bot? Are you a ''one note samba"?

This is exactly what I feel. Usurped and Hijacked minds once again. History repeats itself, does it not?
It would've kept repeating itself if we'd have elected another Bush or Clinton.
Trump put an end to BOTH
