I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying “woke”, “critical race theory”, ““grooming””, and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open.

You never see the inverse. There is no ConservativesofTiktok getting churches harassed into shutting down for the day or calling in threats. You don’t see cringey boomer memes on the left. And whenever I openly express those feelings, try to create that sentiment; I get shut down. Noone agrees, I’m often shamed and muted. I just don’t understand why that parity exists, it’s extremely isolating to feel so alone in this

    I think this is us convervative/liberal.

    Yes. It is.

    It doesn’t matter where you are… liberalism is purely a right-wing ideology - there has never been anything “leftist” about it. It’s very easy to check for yourself - simply try and find an anti-capitalist liberal.

    You’re going to be looking for a long, long time.

      why would I look for that. That is the extreme. left does not star way on the left more than right starts way on the right. Its like saying someone is not right unless they are against any social program or public property of any kind.

        That is the extreme

        No. It isn’t.

        Being pro-capitalist is extreme… which means being liberal is extreme by default - it has merely been so normalized for you that you don’t actually see how batshit insane it truly is.

        Its like saying someone is not right unless they are against any social program or public property of any kind.

        Do you require me to explain to you what left and right actually mean? I’d be happy to do so - and I can guarantee you that it will be perfectly painless.
