So both are scumbags. Gotcha.
Trumpkins will always be the bigger idiots, but Im not exactly thrilled that there is people like that in the other side of the political spectrum, specially in a video game forum that has threads like "what is your favorite use of censorship".
I mean I don't like it either, and if I thought the modship wasnt steering that community into a glacier, I might be compelled to point out the absurdity. But the absurdity and dumbfuckery is basically the only valuable commodity that site offers now. And this thread is best when it is like a social media feed of Darwin awards for internet shit posts.
Not so much when the etiolate's are trying to derive complex generalized social theories from their probably borderline unhealthy obsession with a fringe left-wing video game board and their most shitty posters, many that derive their identities from their game purchasing habits.
Idiots are everywhere in my experience. There are people of any political stripe that bend toward seeking or allowing some authority to enact vengeance and order on their perceived enemies without much introspection on the consequences of that logic. There is a whole philosophy of thought and field of study about humans penchant for vengeance over justice. I don't really derive a whole lot from seeing that carrying out on a forum that protects and tacitly endorses that sort of rhetoric.
However, it gets a little much for me to take seriously some of the people generalizing, catastrophizing and false equivocating over posts on said fringe video game message board, when, for instance, as we speak, a major political party is shutting down the government over wanting to build a wall and expel brown people fueled on wide reaching appeals to racism. That's when I start to see cause for concern. When the rhetoric of the fringe is becoming policy staples of major power stakeholders. I don't see that much with the left, I definitely see that with the right, and that is what separates the two.
