I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    Reality has a well known left leaning bias.

    Conservatives and their politics do not have equal status. In this climate, “both sides” is toxic and suggest each is equally supported and viable. They are not. The right is an incredibly hateful minority end should be treated as such.

      I’d say it’s mainstream media-type liberal bias. Inclusive aesthetically, and occasionally sincerely too, but mostly shit.

        Now you’ve convinced me! I really ought to have been the bigger man when my mom called me in the middle of the night to tell me that Trump’s a martyr like Jesus and that the Democrats are performing demonic baby-eating rituals inside underground tunnels, and just let her keep screaming about me being a brainwashed woke communist because we just have little differences and we all need to get along.

        Haha, nope. I want scorched earth on every one of those conspiracy nut fuckers holding right-wing parties around the balls, since they went after my family with their brainrot. I don’t give a shit that a handful of people exist who don’t explicitly support Jewish Space Laser Marge or Venmo Bribes Clarence, because y’all still vote lock step to keep these crazy loons around because Roe v. Wade is worth killing for $300 extra on next year’s tax return.

          Is it miserable?

          Having your entire identity based on a political team?

          Constantly being angry and thinking the worst about your peers?

          Because it SOUNDS miserable.

            Probably not as miserable as it is to have to spend all your energy pretending to not see how your political ideas have fully doomed humanity to drive itself extinct

      And comments like this show that the left is just as hateful. With the usual “agree with me or your are racist…” or someother bullshit spiel.

          The right! Leaving people alone! Lol! Lefties want “treat every one well” and the right passes law after law removing rights from specific lists of people, starting with those they seem as politically weakest (trans, gay, poor, black). The party of “small government” sure wants a lot of social control laws.

          And yes explicitly, lefties want to remove any “right” to treat people “you don’t categorically like” badly.

          Fuck the right wing, seriously wtf.

          Stop being mean to everyone. Then no one would care about you at all.

            Let’s also not forget that the hate is justified and amplified by their religion.

          well the right thinks anything that makes you not exactly like them is a crime. Including thinking and having different opinions and ideas. Therefore they do adhere?

          I think you might be leaning towards the paradox of intolerance and the recent solution for it which has become very popular.

          A tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance.

          This philosophical concept seems paradoxical but actually it’s been solved via another philosophical concept. The social contract. Hate speech in almost every instance violates the social contract thus putting those who engage in it in violation of the social contract. It is not being intolerant at that juncture to remove that person from society. It is not intolerance but a violation of contractual obligation.

          And funnily enough, these bigots nearly always hail from “the land of the free”. Where “free” apparently only applies to their own ability to freely attack others and try restrict their freedom.

          You seem to be assuming a lot of things. I only called out the hypocracy of calling out the things the “right” is doing, but willfully ignoring what the “left” is doing. And you seem to be very aggressive, where there is no need to be. I do however agree with you on people needing to mind their own business. That would be the simplest thing. If you want to preach intolerance then go ahead. But people are becoming so damn polarized that it’s difficult to remain in the centre without being accused of going to either side of the spectrum. You do realize that being a centrist is a thing, yes? You do realize that one does not necessairily need to align with either the left or the right side of the political spectrum, yeah? You can kindly fuck off yourself.

        Did someone say agree with me or you’re racist? I didn’t see that anywhere. All I saw was calling a goose a goose, or in this case, a fascist party fascists.

          Calling the right leaning crowd a hateful minority while ignoring the fact that the left leaning side does the same is hypocritical.

            Someone saying that right-wingers are hateful bigots is now somehow the same as declaring trans people universally pedophiles, refusing them medical treatment, and openly advocating for their extermination.

            Yes, the conservatives in the “west” have started calling for a cleansing of Trans people out of society, but I guess Holocaust 2 electric boogaloo (and yes I am very consciously using that because the Turfs are now openly working together with Neo-Nazis to the aims of removing the “evil manipulative group trying to destroy our culture/race/sexual orientation”) is equivalent to someone saying bad words bad that conservative group…

              I wasn’t aware that things in america have gotten that bad. I always heard that people have been divided, but it’s really eye opening to see just how much. What can be done to combat extremist views?

            No there are not “two sides”. The right wing is a fkn minority. The rest of us want to carry on with our lives. Left center and some conservative. Bigots wanna bigot.
