The left is not a monolithic block of automatons. There is some large number of persons who support most progressive positions but decry this sort of top-down control of language along with the way it’s used to enforce an orthodoxy of opinion. Labelling this as an “absolute state” of the left is a mischaracterization of the positions of most progressives I know.

- throwawaylinux 4y agoWere you under the impression that the right does not receive generalized criticism on the internet or this web site? Or that your comment is a rebuttal to what I wrote? By all means feel free to criticize conservatives / right wing. They certainly do make it easy, you're right about that if nothing else.

(Also love the sibling's comment about the right. If you're gonna paint the left with the brush you've chosen, gotta do the same with the right.)

This isn't an argument. > (Also love the sibling's comment about the right. If you're gonna paint the left with the brush you've chosen, gotta do the same with the right.) I don't gotta do anything. Obviously the right can be and is criticized in a generalized way like I'm doing with the left now, but I'm not talking about the right here.
