There's no a priori reason that one side of politics should go "too far" proportionate to the other.
Importantly, if you do assume such a reason exists, it gives cover for bad actors (of any side), who can then argue just as convincingly, I can't possibly be going "too far" because the other side isn't, and you're biased.
If the left is behaving reasonably and the right is not, or vice versa, have the moral courage to say what you observe.
- dnissley 8y agoI don't mean to discuss this in the abstract. The left and the right both have proven themselves to go too far and the end result is the same: genocide. The issue is that we have an indicator for the right (ethnic nationalism) and that we don't have one for the left.
