Any political idea that differs from someone else's seems to get you these labels. They really don't like it when you straight up tell them you are not going to continue the dialogue and call you one of these two things to get the last word.
First I didn't say the right wasn't extreme and the fact you can't see extremism in your faction shows your blinded to the truth. There are extremes on both sides regardless of what propaganda you want to believe or not believe. People aren't calling me out on my shit since it's just "kill yourself" or "Your and idiot" as retorts. These are the "intelligent" people you speak of.
I didn't start this as a way to convince you that your rose colored glasses are skewing your view or that your perception is wrong because that is your perception and honesty it isn't worth the work to change it for some random person on the Internet because that never works.
I was saying my perception and experiences with the people of the Internet and some irl have led me to see that extremism exists on both sides.
I am going to stop replying because I have already spent too much time on someone who really isn't worth it, that isn't just you, it is all political social interactions on the Internet. So I will leave you with this.
Any faction is corrupt or corruptible. There will always be propaganda for each one to indoctrinate those who have some aligning beliefs. Hell I fell for it for years as a registered Democrat. There are people who mean well in their own way on each side and those who mean to use those well meaning people for their own ends. On the other hand there are people who just fight for the sake of fighting. The people make it matter but in my experience they are the ones that hurt it the most by repeating the propaganda like it's the bible, on both sides. Know that these interactions are truly pointless and a waste of time.
The issue with your statement is I don't listen to or follow political sides. I just make my own decernments based on what I experience. Most political statements via the news or social media are propaganda for both sides so you have to parse the information to find the truth and I am not waisting my time on that. I base what I say on my experiences and interactions with the people of each party. Republicans have their issues and so do Democrats.
You are exactly the person I described in my earlier writing. Unable to listen and learn because you are stuck in your thinking and unable to see outside your box. I hope the irony isn't lost on you. My family growing up was Republican and I was Democrat when I got older but ultimately noticed they were both very flawed and decided to become centrist and unaffiliated for voting.
People who are "intelligent" about the issues fall in the same boat as you. Unable to see past their own hubris and Holier Than Thou thinking to see that they have fallen for their parties propaganda to see that they have been indoctrinated just like Republicans have. Republicans and Democrats are just two sides of the same coin.
You and the guy you replied to worded it so well. I am a moderate and an unaffiliated voter so noticing the extremes is easy. Their alignments are similar but their tactics are different. The right knows how to talk to the working class which is their strength. Anytime I have voiced criticism about the extremist left there is no conversation or willingness to learn, just demeaning redoric. Mainly how stupid I am or how I should kill myself. I don't blame them as I was once very liberal myself but noticed the fallicies and became more moderate as I got older. Their inability to humble themselves or try to understand someone else's thinking prevents them from really bringing anyone over to their side. It's a "Holier Than Thou" complex that makes them believe they are better than everyone, know better than everyone, and those who oppose them are inheritly evil. Unfortunately this is not how you recruit allies and not how the world work in general.
I mentioned a few ways the Democrats and Republicans are similar and the "open" minded Democrats just started trying to demean me. Not one Republican btw. Blows my mind the irony of these extremists.
I would usually agree but there was no barriers I am not sure about signage. While I think the driver should always be aware of where they are driving they honestly set him up for failure. On top of that Google had a decade to fix the route and didn't.
If there was signage, that at a minimum would make it his fault.
Just as communism has been proven to fail in the past so is capitalism. It has been warped to something terrible for the common worker. I think this communism thing is just a way for people to vent their frustrations with the current system. Honestly as long as their is a corruptible person in charge no system will work as intended. And unfortunately everyone is corruptible.
When I was a teen and early 20s I had such high hopes for the future. Now I have just kind of accepted the downfall of our nation when it comes to national politics. I limit my gaze to state and local politics since I can actually have a say in those. Honestly due to that limitation my mental health has become far better compared to when I was lamenting our politics.
I am pretty sure it is just showing politically charged content based on people watching other politically charged content. I feel the blame is misdirected at something that only provides content people will like based on their past.
I am not from the UK but I would think that both genders having support would have been a obvious move. Each has their hurdles and as a society which is created to support the people in it should support both. Equality in its truest sense.
Thank you for the information.
