[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) it’s a consequence of being told you have to be perfect or you failed growing up This would explain so much of the political in-fighting we see here, where "the perfect" becomes the enemy of "the good." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Flickerby@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Eh I think Republicans just weren't huggedr enough as children. Only half a joke permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 1 point 1 year ago Tbf, both sides have had a tendency to have some rapid people who control the public conversation, attacking anyone whose opinions vary even the slightest from theirs. I have had the displeasure of meeting a few of the leftwing ones on this platform and they tend to be entirely unself aware about how extreme and hostile they come off to others. It's the reason I ended up filtering out as much political content as possible. I left corporate social media because I wanted to get away from mindless hateful lunatics, but honestly, this place is just as unbearable as the rest of social media if you let it hit you unfiltered. And I have also experienced being accused of being a fascist despite being very much center left. Some people are fucking insane on here. Just as insane as some of the crazy right-wingers I have had the displeasure of encountering. Ideological fanatics suck no matter what side they are on because nuance repulses them and everything is a paranoid search for an enemy to attack. I want nothing to do with people who behave like that. permalink fedilink source parent
