There are lots on the right!  And they are worse, as far as I can tell, than the few wokies running around on Twitter.  They’re far more dangerous and actively get people like transgender folk harmed or killed.

But, we can talk about the woke left being unreasonable while not denying the issues on the right, and the fact they’re worse.

Sure but the "woke left" gets a ton more attention than the illiberal, fascistic, violent right, at least in the mainstream "liberal" media.

Not in the mainstream media.  Ever watched CNN in the last few years?  It’s wall to wall violent right, etc.  You’re clueless and must live in an ideological bubble.

1. FOX News is part of the mainstream media and they are almost exclusively a moral panic network.

2. I have lost count of how many articles on "left-wing cancel culture" I've seen in mainstream, ostensibly liberal publications like The Atlantic, Washington Post, The New Yorker etc. I understand you might not be familiar with these given these are magazines/newspapers and I know you can't read anything more complex than a meme.

3. One reason the "violent right" gets a lot of coverage in the press is because the right is simply more violent.

4. I guarantee I read more right wing opinions than you do left wing ones, which is why I'm so familiar with your tired arguments and why destroying you is as easy as breathing for me.

That’s laughable.  The left constantly creates caricatures of the right.

And?

They don't exist.  Concerns exist and extreme views exist but they can be discussed and dissected using our old familiar methods.

Concerns that exist:  a school, statue, or pub is named after somebody who did something awful 200 years ago.

Moral panic: doctors performing double mastectomies on healthy adolescent girls.

Thanks for contributing.

Mastectomies on adolescent girls is certainly happening.

For you guys who think that's not an issue, but changing the name of a school or a pub or tearing down a statue is a pressing concern... history will be the judge.


Since about 40% of your posts on this forum consist of accusing people of "whataboutism", I thought this might give you a moment of self-awareness. But apparently not.

1. Once you start in on the “history will be the judge!” schtick, that’s a sure sign you’re huffing too many LOTT farts.

2. As for the big “what about” gotcha, I would have thought you’d know that context dictates what’s whaboutery and what’s not, but if it makes you feel better you can have it.
