I voted for McCain and Romney but apparently Im a huge leftist now because I dare criticise the right in any way. Oh well, I guess I better start watching MSNBC now. ROFL.
I mean there is criticism and there is calling people a fascist. Big middle ground there. |

Dude. Where did I call anyone a fascist? My whole point is that there are extremes in BOTH parties and that fascists are one form of extreme on the right. Thats it. Somebody stated earlier that there was "no such thing as right wing extremism". If you pointed out that communists occupy a similar position on the left I doubt many on that side would get mad of feel insulted, as it probably doesnt apply to them. For some reason right wingers get really upset about it as if you are talking about them personally. |

Because our friends on the left have overused calling all right leaning folks racists so now they resort to calling all fascist. It’s insulting, I’m not sure why one wouldn’t see that.
As an example, I freaking hate the woke crap, doxing, etc., that goes on with the left side. If Joe Blow business owner down the street is a racist jerk, who gives a crap? Let him live. As long as he isn't hurting anyone, he is allowed to be an a hole. That's just life in a free country. We don't have to all like each other, and we don't have to all be kind. Is it nice to be a kind person? Sure, it's how I choose to live, but my way isn't the only way. And that's what I find annoying about some of those on the left. They feel like everyone has to live their way, or else. Come to think of it, so to those on the far right too. So they share that one. lol Our nation does not survive if we cannot find a way to keep the politics in the center, and shut down the extreme sides. Social media and the internet have completely destroyed our ability to do that. The only people who have voices are the extremes. |
Same could be said for the neo Marxist left. I would love to see them disavow that faction.

Saying there’s no such thing as extremism in one direction or another is like saying there is no number higher than 214. If you don’t understand that political thought exists on a spectrum and want to redefine terms that people of all political stripes have used for years, you’re free to do that, but you may feel a little less frustrated if you realize the vast majority of people are using those terms differently.

I’m sorry you just heavily implied it. My problem is most people do not even know what a fascist is and that’s dangerous. You have many that call people fascist just because they are a republican and that’s crazy. As the other guy said it’s become another boring way to avoid a real discussion and simply call people names. Just like the people that say antifa is anti fascist because it’s in their name. Yeah yeah sure. |
