Is that you're awesome. 

I'm far left, but I do believe that I encompass a better understanding of my Political stance than most of my sway-colleagues that debate over the Internet do. You know? The ones that will argue with you all day long, bitterly, and over insignificance? I've witnessed some of the most inhumane statements by people from the ideological right. That immigrants need to go home, or worse; be exterminated. That their country is better than anyone else’s, and anyone else apologising should fuck off somewhere else. The list is utterly endless. Yet it's the same on the left; I've seen grown people that wish for better community talk about snapping someone on the Political right's neck or 'burning them in the same way their pals the Nazi's do'

A human is a human

I've come to realise that a human is a human and we'll all behave angrily at sometime when our needs aren't being met. Politicians haven't been meeting our needs as of late and I feel that's why we're desperately clinging onto our Political sways more than we usually would. I feel strongly left and normally vote for workers, poor people and community, and I have been feeling more so because of the recent controversy across the globe; it's not only limited to America. We're having it in the UK and I keep hearing about unrest elsewhere.

I bet though, if we sat down and discussed our favourite beers together we'd mostly agree. We could go for a walk in the woods and discuss the birds chirping and the fresh air that feels SO good on our lungs; we'd share our childhood experiences and reminisce in our early twenties and laugh and joke about our stupid mistakes. Yes, we'd find out that we agree on a lot of things. We could venture into our favourite pool hall and compete against each other all night, laughing and joking at how one is worse than the other. Later, we would head off to the local bar, drink our favourite lagers and enjoy the local talent, both agreeing that the dark-haired woman in the corner is the prettiest.

Eventually, though.

Eventually, on polling day we could enjoy the walk together to the booths, discussing our favourite football teams whilst we notice there's not a cloud in the sky. You joke excitedly about this new platform, Steemit, as I eagerly listen with ears wide open. People are smiling as we skip merrily onto our civic duty without a care in the world. After the deed is done we don't mention our Politics to each other because we know that there's far more to life than the division of our ideologies. We are layered and a culturally diverse people. I'm white/Caucasian with a very poor family history, and you are African American with Middle Class roots. Of course, we're going to be ideologically divided, but that doesn't stop us; we understand that gives us far more to talk about than not.

***

Back in my parent’s day they didn't talk about who they voted for our how involved they were in Politics. I'm in two minds about this because I can see a good side and a bad side to it. On the positive side, it encourages people to stay together rather than be divided once more, by something else that labels us and segregates us from something that we all have in common, our human nature. On the other side, it keeps people less Politically active, and I know through power-to-the-people experience how mobilizing the masses to speak out about injustices creates amazing movements and puts pressure on governments to enact change.

Judge me not

You may have judged me already, knowing that I am very lefty in my Political ideology, but I fear people misinterpret my stance in the left. Being left, I'm sure all of you are aware on here, is not being Communist or Marxist or Totalitarian, some people on the left are that way because they want or need better state care for their disabled son, but they still believe in the death penalty, and other things on the right. I bet if we all laid down our ideas and thoughts you'd find that most of us cross over, and what I've been saying for years, is that we are mostly similar. Not the same, but similar.

Myself? I believe that everyone is inherently good. That most people want good for each other and that the sways that have struck a vast ravine between us as people are in our imagination. There are no people seeking to destroy the other. There's just people trying to help in the only way that they know how.

Steemit challenge!

I challenge you Steemit. If you're a lefty, get to know a righty, and if you're a righty, get to know a lefty and then make a post of your findings! It would be an interesting experiment, right? :)

Now there's a fly in my room and I have to go and beat it with a stick so I'll leave you to your thoughts. Good luck, and good night.

Love to hear what you all think!
