[Dumb question] TRP vs. the World?

For one thing, I think it'd be a mistake to think that TRP and TBP are a dichotomy. TBP is just a sub dedicated to making fun of TRP, and TRP is just a fringe movement.

particularly Us people tend to be more blunt, direct, less concerned with offending peoples feelings and more concerned that people are trying to stifle their "free speech" than maybe people from other countries?

Sorry for not being more constructive, but lulz

Although seriosly, demographics survey on both TRP and TBP would be useful

Anecdotal evidence: I'm not from TRP (I can relate to some of TRP's topics but prefer to joke about those I reject) and I'm from Germany.

Talking clichés, on the one hand I perceive Germans to be more rude and more direct than Americans. It's Americans who invented political correctness. On the other hand, I believe that Americans in general show more support/less rejection of extremist positions.

Examples of positions that I as a German consider extremist. I allege that for Americans these are uncommon positions, but not necessarily considered extremist. Do Americans share my impression?

Church of Scientology. In Germany, it's not considered a church but a cult.
Creation as an alternative to evolution. No way this would be allowed to be taught in a German school, not even at private schools.

more concerned that people are trying to stifle their "free speech"

Denying the holocaust. It's not only looked down upon but considered a crime worse than assault. German legislation explicitly stifles free speech to prevent holocaust denial.

So I think, yes for the sake of stereotyping, Germany could pass for an example of a country that generally rejects extremist positions.

Sometimes I agree with TBP sometimes I agree with TRP, and I'm from Canada...sorry.

Edit: And I should add that my family is Scandinavian on both sides so I was raised with those values. Not the ridiculous "don't use gendered pronouns for children" values more just "don't let your gender limit you/it's ok to be a dominant female or submissive male/nurture plays a big part in gender roles/etc".

Nope, American here. I think the survey of the Blue Pill asked about nationality. I do agree with Red Pullers being American, though. It shows with the fetish for foreign women and disdain for Americans.

You can't really compare the US to Europe because they are both too diverse. There are countries in Europe where trans people get their surgery funded by the government and other places where gay people can't even have parades without getting beat up. There are countries in Europe where women do all the cooking and most young men live at home until they're in their mid 20s. In other European countries there are nearly 50% women in government and men and women share house hold and labor equally.

The US is more homogenous in a sense because it has national wide laws and media. But opinions are still just as varied as they are in the different countries in Europe.
