> Evil as the Left might be...
Demonizing those you disagree with might make you feel good, and may even have short-term gains, but it’s a long-term loser: At each stage — win or lose — your side fragments and each side turns on the other, demonizing each other. Wins reach a natural maxima. Losses build on each other and accelerate the downward trend.
Ultimately, the divisiveness of that approach is self-defeating. You can’t sustain a cohesive movement long enough to do anything of value.
- aaron695 6y agoThe Left is cannibalising itself. The Right does not seem to have that problem. The Right is conservative, it moves slowly. The Left finds something new every week to attack people on. I would say for anyone who supports the Right demonizing seems to work. Although I'm not sure how this Fox News is too Left wing push will play out. But a place without the Left might be quite nice. At some point we need to decide, it's been 100 years of human death and environmental destruction from the Left. Do we really want to still hang with them? The Right are not good people but they are the best we have. I'd love Parler to work. But I'll repeat, the arts is with the Left, I don't want to lose that. Parler just won't work.
