Back to insane asylums and psychiatric hospitals šŸ˜­

Honestly at this point mental health isnā€™t just a disability itā€™s also endangering the public. These people are completely unhinged and motivated by emotion and misunderstandings. (Meaning they cannot comprehend that everyone is welcome to an opinion even if they are wrong)

But I feel as though while the child is growing that their teachers/parents should be able to have their student/child subject to a psyche evaluation at any moment throughout a time frame that be discussed. But would this be the freedom that the US stands for ? There has to be a centralist ground to all of these problems.

Iā€™m pro Trump and can sit here and scream ā€œradical leftistā€ etc etc but Iā€™d much rather find a end game solution to this problem because itā€™s happened on both sides and itā€™s no longer a political/religious issue but a mental issue.


thank you. i'm so tired of seeing our country divided. the middle has been pushed further and further to either one side. And if you disagree with a liberal, you're a nazi. if you disagree with a conservative, you're a blue haird REEE nonbinary. I'm tired of that rhetoric.

Unlike reddit, bluesky, etc nobody turns PARD into an echo chamber by banning out all the users of the opposing tribe. There is a pretty enormous tolerance for a range of views. Instead we've seen a shift from three concurrent factors:

  • The average American shifted to the political right, more supportive of Republican mainstream positions, which are more popular and win elections. And embrace civil discourse and debate.
  • The left in America became more radicalized and militant and embraced extremist positions, and their fervor leads them to engaging in personal misconduct that gets them banned for content neutral reasons. Ex, threatening other users, calling for violence, posting gore, posting rage essays at mods and other e-drama
  • As the tilt favors one side, the other side naturally evaporates as they feel their arguments fail, and they retreat to echo chambers of their own, but since theirs don't occur organically they must be enforced by censorship


Banning people is far from the only way to create an echo chamber. There are countless subreddits that are virtually unmoderated and are among the worst echo chambers I've ever seen

A true radical leftist would never support a website supporting Blizzard games or RMT

a lot of centerists and right wing folks hailed him ask the king of free speech and 2a. in some realm of possibility he very well could have been used (sadly) as a martyr for some sort of civil war cause.

He was important enough for a lot of folks to get fired over their opinions on the matter and outshadowed a school shooting from the same day.


I dunno man that's a hard sell for me. You had shit dumb as Jan 6th and someone taking a shot at the president and I'd say I hardly saw anything revolutionary happen.

But on the flip side you can hardly expect a person who plans and acts on killing a public figure to be mentally sound to actually come to a clear conclusion on what their actions would actually result in.

He was quite literally leading the largest republican movement that has ever existed. Did he have some extreme political takes ? Ofcourse and so does every other politician. If you set his opinions to the side he was a stand up citizen who wanted to have open discussion via public debates and continuously preached for non-violence. Itā€™s the fact that he was basically the perfect target for a radical politically involved individual from the opposing side to go after.

Sad day for America in general following the subway stabbing.

This could not be more movie-like

Shooter is a straight white male with religious parents

Shooter is apparently MAGA (former?) who donated money to Trump's campaign in 2020

Ya I support Trump on his foreign policies also on the fact that without ever being a politician heā€™s trying his best to clean up the streets which hasnā€™t been seen in my lifetime. Itā€™s a different change and I also felt as though the central line was moving far too liberal for me to be able to agree with them. So yeah agree šŸ˜…

Did you ever consider that 99.9999% of people don't have any political concern about Blizzard games or RMT, much less the level of discomfort that would alter their habits and choices. Nobody cares lmao

That they have different addresses and you can google/whitepages them and see they are two different people. Do you understand why the media is supposed to refer to assassins by their full three names? John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Tyler ? Robinson
