It's a common feature of fascists, bible bashers, identity-as-politics ppl, totalitarian lefties of all varieties and neoliberals.

All of them want to pin it on each other, but it's as much a feature of uber-conservaties (read: 40% of Americans) as anti-speech lefties.

Touchy is not angry, btw. Don't look at black Americans and go "Gee, they only get shot and imprisoned unlawfully all the time. Why whinge?"

Low-income families, be they white, black, brown, grey, yellow or orange-green, have every right to be angry as well. Every. Right.

But when you see someone complaining that X or Y group call them bad things, without tangible material basis - it's a totalitarian.

This applies for GOPers afraid of town halls, students afraid of debate, everyone afraid of low-grade trolls (not hackers and doxxers) etc.
