Please, stop generalising leftist politics with that of the right. One is at least based on social justice, the other on hate and arrogance.

You've pretty much just proven Gurwinder's point. The left WAS based on social justice but is NOW based on hate and arrogance.

Very true. But conflicts exist outside of politics too, and can also be solved by it sometimes. Don't you think? The problem of politics being that if you're not around the table, you might end on the menu...

I think the key word you need to insert is "can" Unless you're differentiating leftism from having left-wing ideals, and rightism from having right-wing ideals

This is profoundly true of the populist versions of left & right. But is it true of the original ideas? If the left stayed true to Mill & the right to Burke (as examples) would they grow to abhor each other? I think not. How do we debate the ideas & not degenerate into populism?

Damn, dude. I've never heard that articulated that well and so succinctly.

Let me guess... you lean left. The left has a tendency to tell the right what they think. Almost always, they totally miss the point... like in this case.

I'd really advise reading about Cockburn and reading some of his works. Hate in politics isn't an inherently bad thing.https://jacobinmag.com/2013/09/alexander-cockburn-the-last-polemicist …

When you find your favorite twitter account in a quoted retweet by Dan Arel. At least the guy is good for something besides screaming the word oppression every 15 seconds.
