Why I can't stand modern conservatives:
Historically, we know Stalin was *basically* left-wing extremism at its worst. Most people on the left acknowledge this. We also know Hitler was *basically* right-wing extremism at its worst. Yes, the party was socialist in name and economic policy, but the actual foreign, social, domestic etc policies were far-right nationalism. Yet, today's conservatives fight this like toddlers, constantly saying "nuh-uh!". They think their shit don't stink. Horrifying.
I say this because I constantly see this evasive dismissive attitude from them and it's terrifying. They're literally trying to gaslight history itself. Every political view is capable of extremism and horror...they need to acknowledge their insatiable greed for control is not only causing harm, but is capable of causing atrocities the likes of which no one ever wants to see again.
