B-Man Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Why the left doesn't handle disagreement Tom Knighton Leftists are notorious for lashing out at any sort of disagreement. If you take issue with one of their positions, they’re convinced you’re among the very worst sort imaginable. Of course, since many of them also support an ideology responsible for hundreds of millions of people, so it’s more than a little hilarious they’d think that, but they do. But why? There are tons of theories, but Glenn Greenwald had an interesting tweet earlier today that I thought warranted some discussion. Now, Glenn leans pretty far left himself, though he’s a free enough thinker that he routinely runs afoul of progressive orthodoxy. He’s also right. Covering the Second Amendment, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people claim the only reason Republicans oppose gun control is because of corruption, because the NRA pays them to oppose it. It seems that in their minds, everyone really agrees that gun control works. We all secretly believe it will save lives, we simply do not care. That’s how they see it. This fits with a 2012 study that found that conservatives could pretend to be liberals far better than liberals could pretend to be conservative. Conservatives and moderates make an effort to understand the issues and where the other side is coming from. We understand the thinking of at least the rank-and-file liberal. They can’t do the same thing because they can’t imagine anyone possibly look at an issue from a different point of view.

BillsFanNC Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) The Sky Is Green. Amazing it's been 4+ hours and they haven't corrected this. Wait, no it's not. Edit: they finally deleted it, but I take screen shots of extreme woke idiocy. Edited June 30, 2022 by DRsGhost
