I find it interesting that this argument has been made twice now in this thread and from what I've seen both sides fling it at eachother but no-one really seems to take it into consideration.

You do seem to go off on Fluff with disproportionate anger. Calling someone who disagrees with you an "alt-right wannabe twit" isn't healthy debate. It's just rude.

This place was so much easier when all the hatred could be directed at Chula.

Being rude is alright if the target disagrees with you politically.

Or that seems to be the popular belief these days.

You can tend left on some issues and right on others. Unless you're ideologically impaired.
You can also worry about more than one issue and be against nazi scum, Antifa scum and islamist scum at the same time. But I know you don't get that because you're worried about your precious identity.

A lot of left leaning people I know are fairly neutral and don't condone political violence or hatred. MB must attract some of the more further left individuals.

Get off his arse a bit.
No. He was the only guy supporting Goof when he was posting about that red pill movie and has been a clod ever since. I love him to death as a person but **** his politics and social views. The only reason I have laid off him for as long as I have is because he traditionally hasn't been an outspoken dickbag about his views but now that I have started calling him out he's reacted by being Goof v2.0.

I could swear it was you but if not then I retract that at least.

I don't see why that's a problem in itself. It's all a question of specifics and contexts. More than anything, I think it's important that people hold on to their humanity. Without that, your political identity isn't worth ****.

I definitely don't enjoy it when there's a sort of 100% for or against us mentality anywhere. I have some opinions that lean center, maybe even some that lean slightly right and I'll defend right wingers if the resistance against them is out of proportion. But I still basically vote full commie where I live and I read feminist literature. I might not even be very good at it, but I try to have a nuanced view of the world and not jump the gun on anything.

Everyone except Jewish scum, right? Like Lucem pointed out numerous times.

Oooohhh you're right I think I did say that. That was mostly in jest. My family is extremely liberal while I identify more as a libertarian, and they also dislike Carlson. It was in reference to "rebelling", although in the softest of soft terms because I love my family with all my heart and wouldn't hold ill will towards them for silly political reasons. I'm not an avid supporter of him though.
