    Some criticise far-left more than far-right coz they think far-left worse. Others because fixing the left is essential to oppose far-right

        Why can't one criticize both? Why can't we fix the regressives AND call Trump on his shit? This is a false dichotomy.

        I'm not presenting it as a dichotomy. We shld do that. I'm looking at reasons ppl focus more on the left's failings.

        Fair. From my perspective though I've seen many "centrists" (Dave, Gad) focus most energy on far-Left and not a peep about Trump

        That's what I'm talking about now. Good and bad reasons for doing so. Depends on audience & intentions, I think.

        Problem is left pseudo-liberals attack liberals opposing far right of conservative Islam, or SJW shutting down.

        Their opposition to free expression is more dangerous than all but actual Nazis (as opposed to false labelling as nazis).

        Many being labelled as far right still support free expression. It's often their vulgar use of it that drives left.

        In that context the laft can stop proper opposition to the right. Left's fake signalling is not hitting real targets.

        Milo and others are pointless targets. WomansMarch had dubious supporters like Sarsour. Left is busy with side shows that ...

        You're preaching to the choir, Ron. I've been addressing this for some time.

        Yes. I was actually preaching to anyone who might disagree. Bit like preemtive punching a nazi. They'd appreciate that.

        I'm in that latter group which makes twitter kind of interesting as I get a TON of far right followers who are later confused

        yes indeed. It can get myopic at times, but hitting the shitty left isn't pro-right. The shitty left is the penultimate foe.

        Also depends on who is listening. No point in telling a 'room' of liberals that Trump is bad.

        I'm guilty of the former. For the record, I'm neither from left nor right.
