It really is the new wave of non-consent culture, to think anyone has an obligation to engage with you online, simply because you wish to engage with them.
And it doesn’t help that some intellectuals want to equate blocking trolls and hate-mongers as “creating a bubble of shared opinions” or “making your online communities into echo chambers.” I get into spirited, even heated debates all the time online, and I follow many people who don’t have identical opinions to mine. What I do NOT do, is get into never-ending arguments with people who think they are entitled to voice their regurgitated ‘opinion’s on whether or not man-made climate change, the wage gap or transgender people actually exist.
As stated, if you don’t believe the facts on these issues by now, you never will. Just as no matter how many times you come into my timelines and try, you will never convince me that there’s a magical man in the sky who cares what kind of sex I have and whether or not I say “fuck.” If either of us is coming from those kinds of positions, there is nothing to discuss.
I will also delete any comment that I feel turns my timelines into an unsafe space for others who are already short of safe spaces. And you calling me a “social justice warrior” as if its a pejorative or using the word triggered sarcastically does nothing to convince me that you have any place within my personal space.
