"Trump personality/Bernie policies FTW"
I believe these people are the ones who refer to themselves as the "dirtbag Left".

It feels like they hate me. The right feels like it hates what I do, but the left feels like they hate *me*. I've been brigaded by both right and left many times; the right when I violate a specific cultural value they have, the left for any damm thing

This is a bit of a hyperbole. But to be more specific, if I support abortion, the right hate me. If i ask a question that so much as smells faintly of me maybe doubting the narratives around race, the left tells me to go kill myself

I don't know anything about you "maybe doubting the narratives around race" but I think that it's relevant that "I'm just asking questions" is something that a lot of bigots say, so it might trigger a reaction in people who have *their own* scars.

Sure, but I'm clearly not a bigot if they just checked briefly, but they are universally fully uninterested in actually checking to see if they're right, and actively ignore any evidence I give to the contrary.

Like last time I got brigaded it was because I suggested that the negative reaction to catcalls was racist because black men predominantly catcall. I personally like being catcalled. Black women agreed with me that black men catcall more. Yet the response was absolutely furious.

Idk about suspicion, but after I got brigaded by that tweet I started recording the races of who catcalled me, and so far its literally been 100% black men. In a predominantly white city.

Ah. I see. I can definitely see how some people would find it weird that this is the bad behavior you're documenting when there's lots of other stuff going on. Perhaps an issue of context and timing. No excuse for death threats; It's a missed opportunity. but this is twitter

I started documenting it after literally thousands of people told me I was a racist who should kill myself and that I was wrong.
I thought you said that reaction was to you posting the video? People were telling you these things before you posted the video? I wish that these ppl realized that not only are they talking to ppl, but that their behavior makes any kind of real convo HARD

...what video? I tweeted that complaining about catcalling was maybe racist cause ppl who catcall are predominantly black. Then people brigaded me with hate. Then I recorded who catcalled me after that to actually track the racial distribution.
