not a big fan of trump,he's unhinged.

giving far right forums an avenue to voice their opinions isn't a bad thing,this is what freedom of speech and expression are...unless it's hate speech,then it should be banned.

the donald was only ever banned for hate speech

How do you think they're not hate speech?

as compared to the far left??

Far left; everyone should have health care.

Far right; gay people should die.

You have been bitten by the conservative propaganda bug and probably deeply fear antifa.

nah,i am in the middle.

everyone should have healthcare and roe vs wade should never be overturned.

what isn't ok is when you brand someone a phobe of convenience should they disagree with you,just like the far left and right.

Far left: everyone should die.

Far right: everyone should die.

FIFY.

Show me any mainstream proof of your characterization of the far left viewpoint. At all.

Stalin and Mao were pretty mainstream.

Ok, two authoritarian leaders the modern left finds pretty abhorrent and regularly repudiates. You might as well say that Lincoln represents the modern right if you're going that way.

You know what I meant. A modern, mainstream leftist—think Bernie or AOC, or leftwards—calling for mass murder or policies that would plainly result in mass murder.

Also, people forget that there is a left right axis, and a vertical Authoritarian/Anarchy axis.

Authoritarian thought is not left or right biased.

Indeed, but that's step two after the other person realizes that they're just saying "lol boths sidez samesies" with no basis for that opinion except enlightened centrism. (So never)

I mean Biden supports Israeli genocide... Or is he a conservative these days? Can't keep up with imaginary American bullshit.

Non sequiturs are not answers to the question I asked. Biden is not left of Bernie or AOC.

And this is how politicians manage to confuse people by conflating politics with economics, which are two different scales. You can be an economic leftist (say by supporting health care) without being an authoritarian. Same with the right.

freedom of speech

yet another complete misunderstanding of what this actually means

freedom of speech doesn't include hate speech,i did make that clear.

yet another case of bad reading comprehension.

Nah man freedom of speech includes hate speech.

If "hate speech" must be banned, why even have a democracy..?

You have to have faith in the ability of people to discern right from wrong, and the very first test of that is whether people are going to be mentally hijacked by some guy saying the N word.

If you believe people can't do that... Why vote? You just support soft totalitarianism.
