This community differs from other MMA communities in that it specifically focuses on themes of leftism and left-leaning in general as they show up in the sport. Which they do, constantly.

Conservative nonsense will be stamped out. I also make content on this subject (non-monetized, I do it as a small hobby) that explores various leftist themes in the MMA world that I'll be posting there. You can check those out and drop videos of your own if you're into that kind of thing.

The hope is to have a few smaller conversations with like-minded folk, serving as a bit of an oasis from the traditional conservative MMA fanbase. I'll likely set up event threads to discuss particular events if enough people join, otherwise we'll just let it chill as a small group.

On the contrary, I'm not conflating two specifics. I'm speaking in general terms about the demonstrable public perception (read: billions of social media users who happily hand over their data vs. the palpable unease over data publication in all walks of tech discussion) and how it is innately hypocritical.

It is perfectly normal and useful to discuss societal contradictions. For example: "We hate school shootings, but we do fuck-all to stop them from occurring." That statement does not conflate two different vocal minorities, it purports to accurately describe the generalized societal contradiction at hand.

The rest of your post is completely off-topic.

There's something amusing about people feeling violated by their activity being made public, but not necessarily by corporations hoarding and capitalizing on that activity & data. I mean, one of them is out in the open. The other is pure abuse.
