Accidentally put in the Cancel Culture thread this morning. Deleted and moved over here. This didn‘t age well:

Right-wing is a pejorative to the ctrl-left. Anyone right of center is a Nazi while Stalin and Mao are venerated.

Right wing used to describe a small group within right wing politics of neo-nazis, Birchers, etc. not to be taken seriously.

Honestly, how big is the Mao-Stalin veneration threat from the left?

Let's be honest, the neo-nazi faction is still small and not to be taken seriously. I think that's been an add in that people want to throw in because it gives them cover to compare every leader they don't like to Hitler.

How small are they, and what’s the right size for them to be taken seriously?

:nod:

The issue isn't the size or scope of the ctrl-left veneration for Mao and Stalin (and Maduro/Chavez and beyond) but that it goes unchecked. An alt-righter who venerates Hitler is immediately ostracized but I don't see the same for ctrl-lefters who venerate Mao or Stalin. Why are they given a pass by others on the left and the MSM?

My understanding of the vaccines is that they don't keep you from carrying and transmitting the virus, they reduce the health risks if you catch it. Vaccinated people who gather could contract the virus and pass it on to someone who isn't vaccinated later.

Actually they are saying that the vaccine also greatly decreases (although not eliminate) your chances to have it and pass it along. Or at least what they're saying today.

Getting bigger every day as the “mainstream” dems continue to defer to them to maintain any semblance of relevance in that party.

You know goddamned well they were asking for government permission. They have ZERO clue what it means to be an American or live in America. These are the same people who think it’s the GOVERNMENT that’s giving them stimulus money.

Exactly. Fuck both extreme ends of the spectrum, they should both be equally ostracized by everyone else.

So vaccinated people only have to wear 1 mask as opposed to 3?

How about we instead fuck anyone who threatens other’s freedoms? For example, from censorship to monopolies?

Extremism is relative and sometimes leads to positive change. Famous extremists:

Grover Norquist
Ron Paul
Margaret Sanger
AOC
The Texas Energy Commission
The Founding Fathers.
John Brown
Ghandi
