Applying the same standards to both left and right is 100X more effective than just constantly bashing one side, however fun that is.

I suspect it's also much more difficult, cos most of us seem pretty bad at it. It's always easier to focus on problems from one side only.

Also more effective. There is nothing wrong with having a focus providing you don't claim its the only problem in the world.

Specialism is efficient & whataboutism is annoying. I get most annoyed when ex-Muslim critics of Islam attacked for not addressing Xtianity

You were spot on when you said its more interesting to criticise leftist extremism coz its underlaid by a complicated ideology/theory.

A system of thinking you can really get your teeth into picking apart. Whilst right-wing extremism is mostly based on reactionary tribalism.

Only so many times you can say that racism, sexism and homophobia are wrong. Tho the psychology is more complex than often assumed.

Oh I think there's more to the far-right than just ignorant bigotry. At least, they do have actual ideas which need debating.

Yes, this is true. There are far-right intellectuals rationalising awfulness.
