There are plenty of right wingers trying to forcibly teach creationism instead of the normal curriculum and the big bang, theory of evolution..
True, and we already fight them for it.
Frankly, you say what you like about the commies and anarchs on here, but they seem rather more well-read and fascinated by old literature.
Sure, but taking a small sample and calling it the norm isn't really factual.
Since you, also, are well-read on history; I am sure you are fully aware of the consequences and what the coming developments will be when more and more people become mere zealot ideologues.
And since you mentioned the people here being well-read and educated, you accidentally stumbled on a huge problem with the current situation.
The more educated and well-read individuals who act as thought leaders and organizers of ideological movements define their perspective movements; Now, on the subject of "commies", what do you think will happen when a movement, with its thought leaders ascribe to things like gulags and ideological purity, takes power?
Or how about people who wholeheartedly believe that offense should be punishable by having one's life crushed for it?
Do you think that ends well?
You're extrapolating based on one twitter post. I know you're a lot more clever than that.
Ooh boy, this is just one example, these behaviors and patterns are spreading like wildfire among the progressive movement nowadays.
Heck, just now there is an outrage going on over the prime minister of Canada doing blackface when he was a kid which should serve as a good example of the point I mentioned regarding extreme ideological purity.
Last time this ideological purity extremism was a thing, millions died.
I wouldn't just moan about lefties doing it, it's not very fair. As you said, there are many others who would do it.
Yea, except we're going on and on about everyone else doing it, yet liberal movements don't seem to have a problem or simply ignore these radical behaviors and trends on the far left progressives.
There are full-on wars going on against Islamists.
Radical right-wingers are being shunned and fought against in every way.
Enter these guys who everyone seems fine with them.
Each and every single one of those types of movements, throughout history, only managed to take power and inflict untold miseries on people because it was allowed to grow out of control unaddressed.
Even though I'm a Theocrat of sorts, I'd never force my ideas on anyone else or expect others to live in my type of society.
So do I, the problem isn't with people like you, the problem is with people who do want to enforce their ideologies on others.
Islamists are a problem in the middle east, they're basically our version of fascists and they aren't weak or few and, as such, anyone who actually lived in the middle east and socialized would have came across them and had troubles with them or heard of people having troubles with them regardless of which country since they're everywhere and funded by 100s of billions of dollars of oil money.
I'm a Shiite who recently became an atheist, coming from a highly mixed family and married to a Christian woman. That alone should tell you how much endless trouble I got with hardline Islamists; And, thus far, it seems to me that the exact same types of mentality, strategies, and ideological purity that hardline Islamists are used to are the exact same ones more and more becoming the norm among those far left, so-called, progressives.
And we already know what type of system results from these things.
Different themes, the same type of tyrannical regime that will be more than glad to "get rid" of people for thought crimes.
