I don't think people join the right because they are annoyed by leftists, I think they join the right because they see a bunch of people full of hatred and want to join in because of their self-centered misanthropy.
100% they just use being annoyed by leftists to hide their ideological view points. Just wanted to share this cause I thought it was funny.
Yeah, I probably shouldn't have posted that. I didn't get enough sleep and I'm grouchy. Sorry.
Youre all good, my upstairs neighbor were thumping bass till 5am so I feel your pain, about to take a nap before getting started on a Thanksgiving meal. My apartment complex's solution is for me to call the Police non emergency line to tell em to turn it down, cause in their words, "the police usually scares them." Not gonna use institutionalized violence to solve my probelms so I did an annoyingly loud loop over my guitar amp to tell them to turn it down.
I don't blame you for not calling them. That can lead to very bad things these days. Hope your solution at least pissed them off if it didn't work.
It definitely pissed em off, and my nap was EPIC.
People don't align with the Right because of shared political ideals, they align with the Right because the Right hates the same people they do and promises to punish those they hate.
They can scream and wail about "family values" all they want, but when they're lined up with neo-nazis, white supremacists, and pedophiles all praising their glorious leader (who, BTW, believes that there are "very fine people" among a group who chants "Jews will not replace us! "), everyone on the outside has to wonder what "values" they are really fighting for.
I think to a degree the left pushes people out though, as your lefty card needs to be spotless or it’s revoked.
Sometimes a person can say one thing wrong and they’ll be labelled an alt-right fascist, and not part of “the group” on the left, especially online.
Obviously that doesn’t make people right wing, but it is a problem that pushes people away from more left leaning views/groups. Rather than try to discuss and correct, people will berate and ostracise.
You think that doesn't happen on the right? There's a huge fight in congress now about which idiot is the Republicanest. They're all calling each other RINOs.
We eat our own.
Need to improve your diet and eat the rich!
Outstanding.
I consider myself a communist, I have been called a nazi or a fascist (I don't remember) by some people here because I don't share 100% some of their ideas, I'm still on the left, I still have empathy, I fully support individual freedom. But they are annoying nonetheless.
Ok, I'll bite, give me an example of "one thing wrong" that gets you labelled as an alt-right fascist.
Supporting Ukraine, or liking Stalin. Depending on which instance you're chatting in
Ok you got me, I don't see tankies as mainstream left wing, they're fare gone but wouldn't label them alt-right
Yeah alt-right maybe not, but they're called red fash for a reason
huh, generally i'd say not supporting ukraine gets you labelled as a twat and excluded from leftist circles
it depends, a lot of european politicians for example were recently voted out of office and replaced by far right dickheads in large part because of their anti-ukraine views... it's alarming how common this is and how much ground the left has lost in a lot of european countries because of not supporting ukraine, meanwhile the right used this to their advantage and went all out pro-ukraine (for example in italy with fascist girlboss PM and her coalition). i think this was also a contributing factor in recent finnish elections.
the right is uniting in eurpope for once, instead of hating each other, as well as taking advantage of anti-immigrant anti-LGBT sentiments in the population, meanwhile infighting in the left is causing it to crumble. it's a terrible sign
Tankies love Putin
and tankies are labeled as twats and excluded from most leftist circles
Saying you are against abolishing or defunding the police.
It's a joke, and it references a commonly heard fake argument from the right that they were left leaning once but couldn't stand the people.
I'm right because women are wrong /s
I will say, anger and hatred are very contagious. I mean, not so contagious that I could start being racist and homophobic…wait, yeah, right wingers are assholes.
Yeah, but voting left or supporting lefty positions doesn't get us anywhere close to Stalin currently, whereas on the right we have at least a Mussolini with a solid trajectory through Franco to Hitler waiting to get elected.
