Yes, but it's also a microcosm of the world/internet today. One would never think a songwriting forum could be used to show the problem with politics today, but it can and does.




It ain't a microcosm of nothing. It is what we make of it.
It should be a place where amateurs mostly discuss an avid pastime.

I maintain an " internet cat box." It is a political forum that is defacto about Trump. I tell people what I think of what they think. They tell me I'm an azzho and when I get bored I click on something else. I am anonymous.

It is designed for arguments. It serves a function for me. I drop a "steamer" on someone (say what I really think) and leave. Well, maybe drop a few. Everyone there signed up for the format. Importantly, It prevents more than half of you all from hating me because of politics. If the people in the cat box hate me, that is an issue of no concern.

You should try it.



You didnt understand the statement. Yes it should be a place amateurs discuss a pastime. And that what it is. But what I mean was the hatred of the other side, merges into this space when politics are talked about. We saw lefties and righties getting hostile towards each other. The sides are becoming so far apart.

THAT is the microcosm of the world/internet, because its the same anywhere you go. Political discussions mirror each other
