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.

      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.
