I agree - I take pride in being a reasonable and being peaceful and engaging with others. I think the best way to positively impact someone is a free discussion, and never coercion or threats, whether it’s threats of violence, financial revenge, or humiliation.

When the revolutionary left normalizes this tactic for people on the regressive right, it makes it 100% possible for the corporate left & right to dox and destroy the private lives of left wing activists… Which is happening right now at pro-Palestine demonstrations.

Respect everyone’s rights to anonymity and to having bad opinions, and unite against REAL authority, limiting their ability to limit our voices to create change through protest and activism.

How did you feel about the lefty who uploaded their own driver license to lemmy?

Bro we will never make progress against the unprincipled, entrenched centrists unless we cut some slack to the people on the other side of the aisle.

That is why I think of myself as ‘post-right’ and am good buds with a former Marxist who is now post-left.
