Cane across this small gem

How do you even plan on achieving this, because in the best case scenario it is purely authoritarian and goes against free speech, and in the worst case it is literal thought policing.

What are yalls backgrounds?

Found this sub from a post in r/teenagers And while I do consider myself left leaning (I would vote Democrat, but they do have their own problems), it is really interesting to see the other side.

I actually grew up conservative (Iowa born and raised) and I was just wondering, what kind of backgrounds do yall have? What shaped your beliefs? What do yall believe in? Is there anything yall collectively agree on? I've been out of the loop of it for awhile so it would be interesting to see how its changed.

Now, to be clear, I am not hating yall. Everyone has a right to their opinions/beliefs, and who am I to tell you you're wrong.​ I think that discourse/ discussion is necessary part of democracy, and it sucks seeing the toxic comments yalls posts get. There are extreme people on all sides, and it really tarnishes reputations.

Feel free to ask me any questions yall have! I'll try to get back to this post, but its late at night so we'll see. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for the discussions yall! Feel free to comment/ share more opinions, but I won't reply to any until tomorrow.

America is a third world country in everything but wealth

Let’s put aside that a third world country was a Cold War term for a country not aligned with either NATO or the Warsaw Pact. The way this genius is using it he means impoverished countries (or developing ones) vs developed countries. One of the defining elements of this common usage of “third world” is wealth, which the US has an abundance of. Some of these usually Europeans or Canadians or Aussies writing this hilarious “America Third World” stuff have probably never even been to a “third world” country.
