I've received massive hate brigades from both the right and the left, and I think right ppl tend to insult things like life/competence (e.g., you will fail and no one will like you) and left ppl tend to attack identity (e.g. "you are shit and you should die")

There's a lot of overlap of course, but this is my general feeling. Does anybody else have experience with getting hate brigades from both parties? If so, did you notice any difference?

The right is more likely to call you stupid, the left is more likely to call you evil. In my experience this is indeed a thing.

They are both anti science, the right focused on any science that restricts them as individuals, the left on any science restricting them as an identity.

Having received hate from both sides, right wing insults always hurt more lmao. I'm definitely more left leaning these days and left wingers have seemed more willing to forgive than, at least I imagine, right wingers would've been about my change of political beliefs.

I've been in that place. You are exactly where you need to be. The Left believes in Salvation through Good Works. The Right believes in Salvation through Predestination. There is no middle place either side can tolerate and fit into their world-view. Hence, their hatred/anger.

Make a csv/xls file documenting it then plot it.

If you are insulted by both sides, then you are doing things correctly.
