    Maybe more than average, but it’s 98% pure shitposters. Pretty much all extremist forums are, and sorting out who is who drives the cops crazy.

    You’re right on money. Nearly all the violent, threatening, extremist shit talk is only that, talk. But then there is the 2% youre talking about, that comes after all the violent rhetoric. Ive heard leftist threat/wish violence against certain groups/individuals who i could be classified as. Im sure the threats and potential threats keep the cops very busy.

    My real identity isnt attached to my online self, especially on lemmy.

    Im not left, socialist, communist, anarchist or anything like that, a bit liberal though, socialist too a wee bit. Im very much not like an average lemmy visitor. My views on politics, religion and intelligence are in contrast to an average federated lemmy user.

    I wouldn’t ever want to be doxxed here because leftist aren’t just violent, but they are actively violent, and i would expect they would try to follow through with threats more than an average group.

    No, it feels like the attitude of some on the left is that any self identifying Republicans cause harm and deserve harm and that it is a righteous act to cause that harm…

    This can’t be only me that feels this kinda way? I mean, for one recent example is all the destruction and vandalism of Tesla vehicles because Elon worked with Trump basically… these people are mentally ill to vandalis someone’s personal vehicle thinking they really “stuck it to the man”. An example, someone randomly keyed my brothers tesla… seriously, some of these people are driven by hate.

    I dont suppose I have an argument particularly. I can tell my experiences for what they are worth.

    In 2015 I was in a traumatic car accident and a 3 month hospital stay, then 1 month physical rehab. I got a bill from the hospital for 250k, then a week later my insurance paid it. PHEW! So, I guess if I hadn’t had insurance id be paying that the rest of my life? Thats a terrible prospect. I also wonder, if I hadn’t had insurance, would i have got the same level of care in the hospital? I think maybe not… maybe.

    Another story, this was like 20 years ago, but I was in Mexico and my thumb almost got chopped off my a machete… anyway, I went to the little clinic, and we called the Dr. Because he wasnt there at the moment, but he came in 10 minutes and cleaned and stitched the wound. He gave me antibiotics and it all cost me… 10$ cash!!

    So, that said, if one wants good health care in America, one needs insurance.

    I went to Pueblo Mexico at 18 on a youths mission trip. We worked at an orphanage, we dug/built a well and helped with a couple bigger projects like “renovation” a barn. We had learned some plays and songs and puppet shows and we performed for/with the children. It was with my church, it was Christian based. It was an amazing experience, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

    I also went to Peru and sailed down the Amazon stopping at villages performing skits/plays/songs and prayed and fellowshipped with the locals. Ive done local out reaches too, providing food and services for the homeless.

    My Christian life has been about serving others. As it should be IMO. God provides literally every I need, anything extra I try to use to bless other people.

    That is Christianity. Not to toot my own horn, I dont need to, God will toot my horn :). Loving God and loving each other are literally the 2 most important things in this life. Anyway. If you read this, God bless you.
