So I finally found places like thedonald and parler and other .win sites where I still don’t have friends but I feel slightly more included, I get upvotes, I don’t get hated on like I have all my life just because I have a differing opinion on life and society to others on social media.

That’s all I seem to do wrong is have a “bad opinion” and that gets me hated. I feel so alone right now and I’m guessing so do millions of others and now I’m seeing the last few places I felt accepted being removed.

Am I a bad person? I’ve not hurt anyone, I may have said/wrote things people don’t agree with but I never attack someone, I never try to cancel someone, I love discussion and going back and forth with others to find out the differences in opinion we all have in this wonderful diverse world. I love people, race and religion doesn’t even cross my mind, I don’t want to see harm brought to anyone. I just want somewhere to go where I don’t feel like an outcast anymore.

I’m very lucky I’m not suicidal because this world we are being dragged into is going to kill so many others like myself, I feel so sad and worried of what is coming. I just wish these big tech companies could show a little compassion towards those like me who just want to fit in, want to find friends, want to feel accepted.

We have all learned that this world is a very diverse place and we have all learned to accept that’s how it is but now those exact same things we have learned are being used to attack a single group of people. People like myself. This goes against “accepting others” and “hate crimes” because I feel so hated and unaccepted right now that I’m scared to even talk and now I’m even being gagged from talking.

A wise man once told me “opinions are like arseholes, we’ve all got one”. Is their arsehole worth more than mine?

tldr; I’m depressed and lonely and big tech are adding to that loneliness and I thank sites like this for helping me feel not so lonely in a very desperate time.

We are the downtrodden. We are the dregs of society. We are the workers that constantly toil so life can go on. We are the cogs in the machine that make it work. We are the ones that kill or die to protect. Society will never like us and will always think we shouldn't have a voice because they feel that we should do as we're told; just like you do with cogs in a machine. In this place, though, you have friends. They may not have the best bedside manner or they may fervently disagree on something that you hold dear but in the end, you will always have friends here.

That’s the thing, if a war starts I’m a fit, strong and healthy construction worker so I will be the guy thrusted onto the front line to fight for these people, I help build this wonderful world and I will help defend it whenever the time comes. What will they be calling me then? They won’t be able to fight with their limp wrists and messed up way of thinking, they need us more than we need them yet we are shunned away from society.

Hang in there. I know that's a cliche thing to say and doesn't really help the situation, but it's the truth. For the first time in a very long time, conservatives and libertarians have had enough. They will soon have no choice but to listen to us and if they refuse, then we will make our own society apart from theirs. Just wait a bit longer and things should start falling into place for us.

I really hope so.
