Yes they're both evil and two sides of the same mirror. Not sure why you're calling out one side when there are clearly misguided retards on both sides.

Focus on who's holding that mirror.

I rarely publicly criticize standard issue liberals because I despise Republicans, and I will do nothing to help those beasts.

51/49 basically

You should take your own advice, Smoofers. It's the conservatives who have a growing fascism problem, not the liberals. My critique of liberalism is frequent, but not specific. My critique of conservatism is frequent, and sometimes specific.

Consider this explanation a courtesy.

Based angers them because it means you're ignoring the manufactured cultural oppression (saying fat chicks are gross etc), the exact opposite of what they want

These people have some kind of mental disease as there's no way it is a difference of sane opinion

The far sides of both political parties are pro-facism, the only difference is semantics, in terms of what they want to shut down

For the left it’s things they consider hateful/hate speech, which if applied broadly enough can be quite a lot of stuff

For the right it’s things they consider deviant/indecent, which if applied broadly enough can be quite a lot of stuff

For example, if the far left had complete control, they could do what the UK does and make it illegal to misgender someone online, etc. If the far right got complete control, they could try to ban gay marriage and completely ban pornography, etc

The methods are the same, the goals are what differ

Political buzzwords aside, if you can't see the marketing and cultural brainwashing in both sides being pitted against the other then you also can't see that you're just a pawn in the true fascism that you and I live under right now. It's the man holding the mirror, not the slack jawed idiots climbing the gates of the capitol building then standing around without any idea of what to do next.

I'd tell you to open your eyes but it's clear your mind is already set in stone. It's too late for you.

That's only one facet of it, but yes. There's a reason why the term based and redpilled are so often used together.

You're talking about speech, I am talking about power. The fact that there are consequences for saying the N word in 2022 is not fascism, Romans stabbed each other to death in the street over political disagreements.

The far reaches of the left are explicitly opposed to fascism, and no, they are not perfect in this. No mass movement is ever perfect.

The far reaches of the right actually wield political power. Unlike the left. Free speech warriors from the right are suspiciously selective about which battles they fight.

The right is a few years from outright exterminating trans people, then they'll go after gay people. What terms are acceptable or not are semantics.

It's a ballot box > soap box > ammo box.

Smoofers seems desperate to paint me as some kind of billionaire supporter. A novel approach, but easy to shrug off.
