    But this might be comparing ideologues on left to moderates on right. I'm told I'm evil frequently by Right-wing ideologues.https://twitter.com/gdeichen/status/852522349819834369 …

    There's something in it; the Left are too keen to paint the Right as monsters, the Right are too keen to paint the Left as fools.

        I think I'd rather be "evil" than stupid, though, wouldn't you? At least evil suggests some respect.

        Interesting. I think that values are integral to these things, though. Take benefits, for example: is it more important that as close to >

        zero people suffer as possible or that nobody gets handouts they don't need/deserve?

        The Right might argue that too many cheating the system could lead to a collapse, the Left may think it worth the risk to reduce suffering.

        And they'd both have a good point.

        Quite possibly… although, perhaps I'm been drawn further Left here, it could be argued that in a rich country nobody should starve.

        @gdeichen I think it's to do with the democratization of broadcasting rights with the advent of social media. 1/2

        right's revolt against media narrative and left going by it. That explains it. 2/2

        I think the strongest emotions of the new Right are much easier to explain/justify than much of the more prominent members of the Left.

        they're the ones revolting. The left is seeking to preserve the status quo. reactions to status quo are relatable

        You think?? The centrist Left may be trying to cling on to the status quo, but traditionally the Left are all about "progress".

        Think the balance is different though: Minority of the Right call only the FAR Left 'evil' Majority of the Left call ALL the Right 'evil'
