What’s with all the downvotes?

Saw a few threads get blasted, and a de-federation post - did I miss the drama?

I will say this, why are any of us placing so much focus (and for some, outrage) on some very niche groups of terminally online leftists, when there's a been a very scary rise of fascism worldwide, especially in Europe and US, that is currently getting worse?

I won't be playing the game of what-aboutism. Authoritarianism is bad no matter where it appears. It exists on both sides of the political aisle, and it should be rebuked every time, regardless of how prevalent you think it is on your team.

@JasSmith @Phyrin @BrokebackHampton

Can you show me an example of a hard-leftist shoving their ideology down someone else's throat?

How about a Hard-Leftist that crafted, then got passed a law that restricts the choices of the hard-right?

Are there numerous cases of Leftists driving through crowds or maybe shooting up a synagogue, that I'm unaware of?

I'm not saying the Left is perfect, but I call bullshit on the equivocation of the 2 sides.

I think they're rebuking people for being hypocritical and not actually paying attention; like fascism really is the bigger danger rn, while most people in the US at least have like kneejerk negative reactions to the concept of communism

like it is not a "both sides are equally bad" thing
