Please tell me this is satire. Because I don't think being calling eachothers bullshit out on the internet is an issue. The problems begin when people take actions on it. You talk about 'attacking' but I can give you 2 examples from 2019 where right-wing extremists literally attacked. Those ideas were perpetuated in right-wing echochambers and eventually led to the deaths of many.
- Christchurch mosque shootings
- El Paso shooting
Both had right-wing extremist motivations, citing garbage such as 'the Great Replacement'.
But yeah, go ahead and crawl into the victim role because we don't want to read racist bullshit.
- thu2111 6y agoI'm not talking about incredibly rare events like shootings, which are at any rate a very US centric problem. I'm talking about social dynamics around the world, the sort of more mundane 'attacks' that happen every day and in many societies. How many conservatives have threatened firms by mobbing their advertisers? How many people have conservatives got fired for expressing mild left wing views? How many statues have they torn down? How many forums have they de-platformed? How many of them have refused to take part in a debate because another participant disagreed with them? This sort of thing happens all the time and it's very conspicuously always the same sort of people doing it.
