Guns, Republicans and "manliness": We all suffer from the right's mental health crisis

Republican men seem massively troubled about their masculinity — and that's literally causing death and suffering

No of course not, it's just extreme right isn't it

Yes, it's globally on the rise, as the history keeps on repeating itself.

What do you consider extreme right and extreme left?

Currently the left and right are very different from history, before the left was "fuck the government" now it's very much "govern me harder"

The extreme left is those who parade the rainbow everywhere and try to force it in every subject, these people will censor and try to ruin lives of those who don't follow them. They also manufacture racism for their goals. very akin to facism.

The extreme right are those who are too proud of their country, reject everyone that isn't part of it, guns blazing, wanting tradition and will do anything to achieve that.

Then there's the more centralists where I am, but are classified as alt right by media, those who don't care what you do as long as you don't start forcing it or attacking over it, those who want to see both sides but can't as the current power, as I've been saying, is extremely left leaning in what it will present and what is allowed to be talked about.

I tried posting a link that showed that meta manipulated data in the 2020 election depending on what the Biden administration wanted and got banned for "you know what you're doing". Sorry we can talk about Jan 6 but not anything that lead up to that event that caused those people to act out so it doesn't repeat?

Those who don't learn from history are certainly doomed to repeat but it seems the left thinks if it can remove it from history and pretend no one is talking about it then they can get away with it..

We really need a neutral place to post both sides so people can actually maybe hopefully form their own opinions based off having the most information available to them

Again the meme of the leftist pushing the centralist to the right and then complaining "why are you on their side" is very true, the left invites hate and distrust if you aren't fully on their side
