    Yeah I just stopped taking any comments on the fediverse on this topic seriously. People on here are often the extreme left or right it seems. And to have any nuisance gets you yelled at by both.

      mostly extreme left but you are also right there are extreme right views.

        To me it demonstrated what I was already suspecting, that the far left is just as susceptible to misinformation as the far right. They usually have good intentions (apart from tankies), unlike people on the far right, but they are just as easily misled and painfully unaware of it.

          i think at this point the term useful idiot can aptly describe the far left,good intented but some how causing more harm than good.

          Don’t get me wrong,the far right is also the same,only i consider the far right crazy to begin with and there are also useful idiots there but just more pronounced in the far left.

      Which makes tye problem worse. For many people, the default reaction to strong resistance is to double down in one’s own beliefs.
