@_Hunter lol
there is more to it than they things
ignoring that fact is being dishonest
Intuitive observation of left-wing and right-wing regimes as well as radical political movements of the left and right reveals striking parallels in their styles of political engagement, their reliance upon force, their disdain for democratic ideals and practices and their violations of civil liberties
"But when the two camps are evaluated on questions of political and psychological style, the treatment of political opponents, and the tactics that they are willing to employ to achieve their ends, the display many parallels that can rightly be labelled authoritarian."
Interesting, as we see this play out in the present time frame
@ecksmc agreed. Was more making a generic statement. It is *far* more complex than my surface level statement. I think even more genetically, and perhaps obviously, it would be good for everyone if both sides stopped thinking about “us” and “them”. I would be willing to put good money on the idea that if you surveyed 100,000 random people not knowing their political affiliations, that they would have similar lists of priorities/ cares and concerns.
