Why so much attention to the far-right?
Why so much attention to the far-right?
I don't want to name individual Twitter users, but you can check the r/FemaleDatingStrategy subreddit to have an idea.
Edit: I've done a quick Google search on reddit of "I hate men" and "I hate women" and they both seem to be quite prevalent, so maybe there isn't that much of a bias in terms of banning users. Although I still believe there is bias in terms of which subreddits have been deleted, quarantined, or allowed to continue.
Because elite media is left-ish, and has great power to focus attention on some things but not on others.
I wouldn't say "elite", just mainstream. And they're not leftish, just left - for a variety of reasons, many of them being valid. Such as respecting minorities, promoting equality, etc. I think the problem happens when some people go to the extreme - and this immediately causes uproar on the opposite side. Unfortunately, social media amplify this conflict between the extremes. But most people are in the middle.
Branding people left and right based on these qualities is lazy. There are people from both the left and right that exhibit these qualities. Also, there are racists that are left and right. I would even argue that “respecting majorities” is equally desired and exists for both left and right.
Marxism, cancel culture, environmental cultures (eg Just Stop Oil, Degrowth) etc all seem to focus on behaviour rather than the biological traits that attract far right attention.
I'm sure there are exceptions but being a dick isn't a protected class, so people attacking you for it aren't kicked off.
I know Left and Right are tribal lines, but in the context of a conversation, consider that downvoting something because it attacks something you identify with might not be as effective as engaging in that conversation. I'm probably too late with this reply to catch anyone, but I can only hope.
They also complained about being treated unfairly even when they are given much more leeway then their opposition
What percentage does it take for you to consider it a problem?
