Yes.

Even though it's a gaming forum, they're very politically active. During the Trump years, some unhinged members admitted to performing medical malpractice on Conservative patients.

As time went on and Biden took office, they somewhat softened up. But I do find it very interesting that when the topic of AI comes up, they are DEATHLY afraid of it. It comes as a total surprise, since you'd think left leaning people would be all in for progressive new ideas like technology, but they treat AI as if it's Donald Trump/Hitler in the flesh (or exoskeleton).

People on the Right always understand people on the Left better than the other way around.

I get the idea of "trying to understand the enemy" but I don't see any point in doing that since they are obviously biased. I mean racially white serial killers are statistically irrelevant when compared to blacks...

It is true they are biased and there is a good chance you'll just get pissed off watching and engaging with them. But still I think it does provide a valuable perspective on how these people think and how they believe they are suffering in White societies. Ideally I would love for ring wing creators to eviscerate the points users like the Jamaican makes and drown they out so to speak.

Edit: Here is an actual comment from one of the little victims in the comments of that video : "Thank you for this video, it's spot on. We've been taught to empathize with whiteness, but white people haven't been required to do the same for us. I think it goes back to the idea where Black people weren't considered people - once that dehumanization becomes normalized, they don't know how to deal when they're forced to confront the reality that we exist and have our own lived experiences - rather than take us seriously, it's "wokeness", "forced diversity", or "pandering" instead.

You will rarely get honest responses from the left.
