I think that's harmful, given that it's reasonable to assume now that the far-Left and far-Right actually play into eachother, by both being closed to open conversation. That's why I criticise both, I can't just focus on one.(December 21, 2016 at 5:47 am)Regina Wrote: Convince me why, not doing very much with that tbh
I'm all ears (or eyes, rather) and willing to listen
Why what
Why i'm no where near concerned about the five guys shouting (the left ) to the seemingly deafening dirge of bigotry booming from a riot(the right)
Sorry if you treat a leaking sink with the same consideration as a tsunami coming toward you all in miss guided attempt at seeming fair and balanced
sorry if you consider the destructive power of a nerf gun(the left) to that of atomic warhead (the right) all out of fairness
The principle is very similar to theocratic bullshits counter to the complaint atheist talk to much about religion. The idea that 2% of the human populous argue against religion when the other 98% won't shut up about it .Therefore out of fairness we should say both sides are being preachy and shoving it down throats.
Lastly I could care less weather your convinced really (I say that out of respecting you enough to be honest) frankly ultimately I blame this sort of thing on the human tendency for needless agnosticism

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
