I think you can add "racist", "sexist" and a number of other labels that are thrown around irresponsibly. Let's not forget both sides are at it. My observation is that the left used to at least pretend to operate on a higher moral plane, whereas even this pretence now seems to have been abandoned.
- circlefavshape 10y agoWorse than abandoned - the high moral ground has been turned into a weapon. Left-wing discourse on the web has become all about proving your virtue so you don't get kicked out of the gang. I've been a hard-core left winger all my life, and recently I got accused by one of my own peers of being a racist because I said that I think that Sly and the Family Stone's album "There's a riot going on" isn't funky. I shit you not.
