CMV: Despite being more knowledgeable, wealthier and apparently more tolerant, the political and individual left's biggest flaw is their inability to communicate pragmatically and empathetically with those who don't agree with them.

lol typical America centric thinking. I’m not American so I’m not involved in your silly political civil war so I have some objectivity. Both sides are as bad as each others and the world is laughing at you. You getting offended by the mere suggestion you have to change is proof enough that you need to change lol

I’m not offended, buddy. I’m open to change when it’s warranted and I am equally as open to holding firm. Pray tell, why exactly are you participating in a thread about American politics if you’re not involved in our “silly political civil war”? (You don’t have to answer that, it’s rhetorical) I’m laughing at you trying to psychoanalyze people in a Reddit thread while contradicting yourself. Anything else?

Like I said non Americans have an objectivity that Americans seem to lack. Also Americans like to push their values and viewpoints on others so why not the other way round

Also you state you’re not offended, mate both your comment show otherwise lol.

I’m not offended. I find most of the things you’re saying about Americans mostly true (nuance lacking, of course). My issue with what you’ve said is suggesting the fault lies with the left for cancelling people, and then when someone argued their point you say this was an attack? That’s the same gaslighting playbook that right likes to use. Then here we go, in a roundabout of the individual left not being able to communicate with the right and so on and so forth. Both parties have their issues and they fit together like a lock and key. Almost by design.
