I’m sick of the far left too

[Fake Messiah]

The thing is the stench of the filth and rot infesting the very heart of society is simply too repugnant to ignore. I respect those who shit sunshine and flowers, but it'll never be me. So I don't see it being as “extreme” or “fringe” Left. Rather as being part of the Democratic Party that’s sick of being civil to the uncivilized. That refuses to pretend that an alt-Reich coup at the hands of a hostile foreign power is tolerable. We are the part that refuses to surrender.

Obviously I am sick of the far right. I can’t tolerate anything they stand for.
But I am sick of the far left too. I mean...not necessarily the far left. I would say I am far left politically. But the radical left is probably a better way of putting it. Really I’m sick of seeing hatefulness. And for people who say they hate bigots they sure do like to use the word retard like it’s not a slur. I’m just tired. I wish I could mute anyone and anything that was about politics for a while. All I see are angry people being hateful to each other and it’s exhausting. Has politics always been this way and I’m just now noticing or..?

Losty, not sure whom you are specifically talking about. I'm assuming it is simply a general statement inside and outside the web on TV too. 

But there is a huge difference between standing up to a bully and being the bully.

I have absolutely no compunction for example, telling the orange turd to fuck off. I have no compunction telling someone who hates my neighbors for no good reason, or thinks I am a Communist dictator lover, to fuck off too.

I am looking at the bigger picture right now, and while I do think most people are GOOD, right now our politics has been hijacked by a dangerous bully and the days of being polite ended when he came down that escalator and vilified innocent people.

We currently have one man in power who is trying to destroy our western open society through political scapegoating and vilification to any dissent or question to his power. That rhetoric is dangerous, and while it is ugly to see others condemn it in strong language, it is the right thing to do.

I would love nothing more than to get back to the days when bigoted nuts could be ignored, but they have been given a voice by a very dangerous man.

I like to infuriate the hard right by telling them they use the same tactics as the far left.

The far right is responsible for far more violence than the far left and Muslims combined. I don't like extremism of any flavor, but the fact is, far right extremism is responsible for a lot of violence. The far left? Not so much.

I’m really sick of the outrage culture, where social media campaigns by a load of crybabies are taken seriously and acted upon. If people have a genuine point to make, then that is fine. But "I’m offended", and particularly "That’s offensive to [some group of people]", according to psychic powers I guess the person has, should be disregarded in my opinion; no matter how many people jump on the bandwagon.

The orange bully is like that brat who pits one parent against the other after the principle asks why they never got his report card.

[Figbash]

Hmmm. I don't equate the two.
I have seen plenty of violence and incredibly angry people on the far right. Not so much on the 'far left'.

Good examples of fallacy of equivocation are when the orange fuckface bully tried to equate what Eric Holder and Maxine Waters said as being calls to violence. UM NO, they were advocating standing up to bullying, because they are old enough to remember the days of segregation and the bigotry and politicians who fought to keep that vile policy.

Turtle Man and Sanders getting verbally shamed and made to feel uncomfortable while eating in public, is not the same as being run over and murdered by a car by a bigot.

I am hardly PC, and even as a liberal, I DO get annoyed by other liberals being over protective of religious claims and behaviors. But the two parties are not the same. Our politicians are NOT advocating bigotry or selling otherism, much less calling reporter the enemy of the people.

Understandable.

People see, what they want to see and remember what they want to remember.
