Can we please stop it with the “my side’s getting shut down these days” sort of talk? Basically—and by the way, there’s really good social science research on this—we as humans are largely blind to that which harms other’s interests at the same time we’re hyper-aware of that which harms our own. (This is why yes, it’s obvious and objectively provable that the refs are biased against your team. It’s also obvious and objectively provable that the refs are biased against the other team—just not to you.)
Everybody speaks, not everybody listens. It is the way of the world, and it’s true whether the speakers or listeners are liberal or conservative or anywhere in between or something that doesn’t fall on that spectrum at all. Get over it.
(And now back to your regularly scheduled complaintfest.)
