I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    Reality has a well known left leaning bias.

    Conservatives and their politics do not have equal status. In this climate, “both sides” is toxic and suggest each is equally supported and viable. They are not. The right is an incredibly hateful minority end should be treated as such.

      I’d say it’s mainstream media-type liberal bias. Inclusive aesthetically, and occasionally sincerely too, but mostly shit.

        Now you’ve convinced me! I really ought to have been the bigger man when my mom called me in the middle of the night to tell me that Trump’s a martyr like Jesus and that the Democrats are performing demonic baby-eating rituals inside underground tunnels, and just let her keep screaming about me being a brainwashed woke communist because we just have little differences and we all need to get along.

        Haha, nope. I want scorched earth on every one of those conspiracy nut fuckers holding right-wing parties around the balls, since they went after my family with their brainrot. I don’t give a shit that a handful of people exist who don’t explicitly support Jewish Space Laser Marge or Venmo Bribes Clarence, because y’all still vote lock step to keep these crazy loons around because Roe v. Wade is worth killing for $300 extra on next year’s tax return.

          Is it miserable?

          Having your entire identity based on a political team?

          Constantly being angry and thinking the worst about your peers?

          Because it SOUNDS miserable.

            Probably not as miserable as it is to have to spend all your energy pretending to not see how your political ideas have fully doomed humanity to drive itself extinct

          Gonna have to take any political and moral position you have with a grain of salt, since crazy runs in the family

            That doesn’t make sense and you know it. It’s stupid and vindictive.

            Let’s also not forget that the hate is justified and amplified by their religion.

          well the right thinks anything that makes you not exactly like them is a crime. Including thinking and having different opinions and ideas. Therefore they do adhere?

          I think you might be leaning towards the paradox of intolerance and the recent solution for it which has become very popular.

          A tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance.

          This philosophical concept seems paradoxical but actually it’s been solved via another philosophical concept. The social contract. Hate speech in almost every instance violates the social contract thus putting those who engage in it in violation of the social contract. It is not being intolerant at that juncture to remove that person from society. It is not intolerance but a violation of contractual obligation.

          And funnily enough, these bigots nearly always hail from “the land of the free”. Where “free” apparently only applies to their own ability to freely attack others and try restrict their freedom.

        Did someone say agree with me or you’re racist? I didn’t see that anywhere. All I saw was calling a goose a goose, or in this case, a fascist party fascists.

            Someone saying that right-wingers are hateful bigots is now somehow the same as declaring trans people universally pedophiles, refusing them medical treatment, and openly advocating for their extermination.

            Yes, the conservatives in the “west” have started calling for a cleansing of Trans people out of society, but I guess Holocaust 2 electric boogaloo (and yes I am very consciously using that because the Turfs are now openly working together with Neo-Nazis to the aims of removing the “evil manipulative group trying to destroy our culture/race/sexual orientation”) is equivalent to someone saying bad words bad that conservative group…
