@kaiserkiwi I doubt that is unique to being left leaning. The problem is the inordinate number of people who seemingly can't use their brains well enough to figure out that few things in life should be so polarized, or that there are better things to do than trying to control others. Plenty of those types in every camp.
@kaiserkiwi Sometimes I feel like this is especially true for mastodon. I just want to have this nice space to chat with people and spout my nonsense.
But too often it feels like there are two sides to an argument about how it should run that need to have your input and anger right now.
@SkyfaR Naja, rechts ist schon deutlich simpler. Dadurch funktioniert es ja auch.
Nazi 1: »Ich hasse Juden!«
Nazi 2: »Die sind mir egal aber Flüchtlinge aller Art!!! 😡«
Nazi 1 & Nazi 2: 🤜🤛
Bei rechten oder konservativen Positionen gibt es sehr oft nur Zustimmung und vielleicht noch ein Zusatz. Bei linken linken Positionen geht es oft darum es perfekt zu machen.
Ist jetzt auch keine isolierte Ansicht. Das ist warum die Rechte so stark wird derzeit.
Du lebst zu 100% vegan, aber trägst aus Nachhaltigkeit noch immer die Lederjacke, die dein Opa schon getragen hat? Alles was du je für Tiere getan hast, ist hinfällig .
Du hast eine Wohltätigkeitsorganisation aber hast in der Vergangenheit schon mal Geld angenommen, um sie am Laufen zu halten? Worst case! Es hätte definitiv eine andere Lösung gegeben!
@kaiserkiwi Hmmmm, interesting. I've experienced this also.
Funny thing is, I grew up fundamentalist Christian conservative, so very right (although the right wasn't nearly as far right wack-a-doo like they are now), and this was the number one argument that Republicans had about Democrats over here in the US. They would always say that the Dems were bad because they wanted to "control your thoughts" and "tell you how to talk" and this is where the whole idea of "culture wars" stemmed from.
I'm no longer Republican nor conservative, but it's kind of interesting to see that the right wingers were actually kind of right on this front. The biggest enemy that the left actually has is itself in so many cases. If they could just agree with the same cohesiveness as the right does, they'd be a lot more formidable.
@SynAck The political party that is literally called "Die Linke" (The left) ripped itself apart in Germany because there were too many different left views.
The same time a far right party gained so much. Just because they let everyone in as far they're a bit right. They even have queer people and PoC as party members despite the fact their program is against them.
I understand why so many people lean to the right these days. It's so much easier. So much less work.
@kaiserkiwi@SynAck The too many left views is a massive problem, had this experienced in my active time decades back. It’s hindering anything meaningful in process sadly :/
@kwantumkraut@SynAck This. 100% perfect or just let it be. It's pointless when it can't be perfect. Oh more than one perdon is involved? Perfect is now impossible.
@kaiserkiwi yeah I know. Oh you’re doing so well on saving the planet (or whatever just example). But you can’t cook this or that because it is bad … and so on in every part of life they will find something bad :)
