There is distortion between reality presented by left-leaning media and day-to-day reality. I do not want to go into specific and start flamewar (I am MRA). But from media it looks like America is medieval country with slavery, huge violence and zero civil rights.

We're glad you don't want to start a flamewar—the guidelines agree. But the best way to do that would be to withhold this comment in its entirety instead of making a claim without supporting evidence.

But you can't just say that then say "I do not want to go into specifics". Especially when your citation is "day-to-day reality", which is something that literally none of have exactly in common.

The media you read will not match your day-to-day reality, because it is impossible to match everyone's. That doesn't mean it is factually incorrect.

But I can say that. I spend several hundred hours arguing already. If you want some discussion, there are dedicated subreddits for that.
