Twitter only posts feel exclusive. I think there is some sort of solution coming for that and I created a Twitter account, but finding what is referenced here is still problematic.

Conversations about religion used to be with folks who would listen to reason or have some sort of kindness or empathy. Now people are just throwing Qanan at religion and telling believers to STFU.

Conversations about white advantage go nowhere. Supposedly if the whites will do something, it will help but you ask what and get told to go figure it out, look it up. You make suggestions, and get to talk to a few people about progress, but still get so much flak back for not bowing to whatever the rules are about discussing white privilege other than yes, we are privileged, we suck.

I am a problem solver. I can understand the benefits of discussion in that process, but when every attempt to find a solution circles back to confusing assertions with no reference to further understanding, it seems pointless. So I get told to look "it" up when "it" is a huge subject with very little clarity.

So maybe it is a bunch of trolls trying to cause problems or a lot of DUers are new and just venting.
