>Hatred doesn't last long when you talk to people. I talk to people almost every day in a completely uncensored environment who have nothing but the purest hat

>Hatred doesn't last long when you talk to people. I talk to people almost every day in a completely uncensored environment who have nothing but the purest hatred and mockery for all liberal or leftist people and liberal or leftist ideologies. They unabashedly want to murder their enemies. They applaud the killing and beating and gassing of BLM protesters. Yes, "the left" has places where they mock the right unreasonably too, and they fire somebody sometimes for a stupid misunderstanding or for being too offensive, or they ban somebody from a web site for a not-good-enough reason - it's stupid and awful, but there is simply no comparison. Calling what the worst elements on the right are doing to society and discourse "stupid and awful" would be a comedic understatement. And yes, in the right-now, people in the protests are burning things and assaulting people, but they are responding to being murdered by police. If the state murders you in the street, it's hard to find a ceiling for responses past which I couldn't understand people going, even if the response ends up ultimately doing more harm than good, which I can't even predict. The thing they're responding to is one of the worst things that can happen in a civilization. Edit: Somebody replied to me with the recent death of the Trump supporter, but got flagged (predictably so, considering the rest of their post). I just wanted to point out that it's a good example of cherry picking. Each time somebody dies, the people "on their side" will hold it up alone as evidence of how evil the enemy is. Of course, I'm speaking of the big picture, and I'm aware of the many smaller pieces, and I take pains to consider them.

> I talk to people almost every day in a completely uncensored environment who have nothing but the purest hatred and mockery for all liberal or leftist people and liberal or leftist ideologies. And I live in one with the same feelings for the right! We're like brothers, I guess? > They applaud the killing and beating and gassing of BLM protesters. Yes, "the left" has places where they mock the right unreasonably too, and they fire somebody sometimes for a stupid misunderstanding or for being too offensive, or they ban somebody from a web site for a not-good-enough reason - it's stupid and awful, but there is simply no comparison. To be clear, I shared an institutional response from just about the most credible type of institution you might find on the left -- a university. This is not an individual response. Individual words are far, far worse. I'm not sure how you've gone from there to claiming the worst the left does is to "ban somebody from a web site." Really? Are you willfully blind? You really need to tune into Fox News more. You're seeing the bad stuff on the right, and not the bad stuff on the left. For a lot of the stuff, they show real videos, so you know it's not fake! It might be rare -- in a country with 300 million people, just about anything happens somewhere -- but it's not fake. > Each time somebody dies, the people "on their side" will hold it up alone as evidence of how evil the enemy is. That's exactly what happens. Fox News cherry picks. You'll get the nights' selection of Worst Stuff on the Left. The left goes back and cherry-picks too. The number Fox News constantly runs is that in 2018, a total of 18 unarmed black men were killed by police. We can quibble about statistical methods, but far more of the problems come from police brutality and from the extreme biases in our justice system end-to-end (The New Jim Crow is an excellent book) than the isolated police shooting. A lot of the stuff you see on smaller more left-leaning media designed to drive outrage (and especially the stuff that spreads virally on Facebook) is just fake too. And you can be sure that Fox News careful takes apart the most fake news on the left, in the same way the left takes apart the most fake news on the right, so (rightfully) neither side believes the other. And by the end of it, we live in a polarized nation with two very different perceptions of reality.
