I just noticed that one of the news communities here discourage the use of least biased/centrist news sources and I saw some people who put that they hate centrists in their bios.

All is that is kind of weird to me and does not make sense, as I thought that all sides should encourage ideas from centrists and least biased sources.

Is there is something that I miss here?

      Here’s a delusion: Maduro is right to suppress free speech and association because he needs to keep the right from retaking power in Venezuela.

        I don’t think this is at all something leftists in general think and I see a lot of them calling out what’s going on in Venezuela right now as large human rights violations. This is pretty much only something I see said by tankies (which is a small fraction of leftists).

          Very good point. People online like to read one comment from someone and put them in a group then prescribe the values of that individual to the entire group.

            Like they read a disingenuous comment from a far-right person claiming to be a centrist, and then they hate on all centrists? I could see that.

          So any left-wing delusion I post can be dismissed as “not all leftists?”
