And you honestly think this kind of crap is confined to the Left and Liberals?
Please.
Also…any fringe at either end of the political spectrum do not represent what I believe.

Character attacks, condescension, faux moral (outrage I assume), intellectual feelings of superiority, partisan hackery…
hmmm…Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnel, Ted Cruz, etc., never did any of those things? And then there is Trump with the personal attacks, claims of victimhood (they’re the racists not me) and his YUGE brain.
As far as intersectionality, I bet more alt-right types know what that is than liberal voters. But it’s always great when one side tells the other how they think and what they believe (because it’s so hard to just ask).
I honestly though you were ranting about the GOP until the very end of your post.
You might want to review the cultural and political landscape and then reassess some of your vitriol and where it is directed.
Or don’t. Up to you. I’m personally a big fan of every once in a while taking a step back and reassessing.

Look everyone one of those alt right guys talking about how tough they are. Damn soyified and if you soy so. Hard hitting stuff. You should also come down with a cuck and a snowflake reference soon. Let these people really know you aren’t messing around. Online rage is the best rage you’ve discovered.
Bonus points for complaining about character attacks and feelings of superiority and then using both at those two.

Definitely with all these soy boys in here!
Confined? no, but more frequently done? yes.
the left also closes down conversation a lot more than the right does. the left is absolutely afraid of counter points, or any argument that puts them on blast.
“Cancel Culture” is absolutely a phenomena propagated by the left.
edit: and god damn first time I see “soyified” used. that is pretty funny. lol
Won’t disagree with this at all. The left is by far worse at that type of thing.
I had to look up soyified even though I figured I knew what it meant. I don’t keep up with the newest alt right terms.
How can anyone on T Nation have anything to do with soy though? I’ve been reading this site since I believe 1999 and stay away from soy used to be pushed with almost every third article here for a while. The one thing we have to have in common regardless of our differences is hatred for soy if we post here.

It’s always been MUCH easier to look at the faults and weakness of others than to look at oneself; (or ones group) in the mirror. Along with it comes a human tendency to elevate ones group or tribe as being “better” and the answer to all of societies ills. This kind of stuff has led to wars.
This “Right/Left”/Conservative/Liberal" ; “Me Right/You Wrong”; “You do bad things/We do Good Things” is as old as man has been around, I guess. In other words; it’s nothing new.
That doesn’t mean I have to buy it.
For every “bad” trait “the Left” has…I will assure you that “the Right” has at least equal numbers. (And visa-versa).
Where one chooses to align themselves is ones choice…but if all you see is "They BAD/We GOOD!"…or “Yeah…we do “some” bad things…but they do more of them, see!”…you need to look in that mirror a little harder…

Cancel culture? It’s amazing how people think history started at the furthest point they can remember.
Book burning, the Hollywood blacklist, people writing letters to Star Trek complaining about Spock looking like the devil, protests against The Last Temptation of Christ…you have the American Family Association which was founded 40 years ago.

My Aunt was one of the people who was picketing against the release and reading of Harry Potter books, for idolizing witchcraft is the work of the devil. After that it was Counterstrike training kids to be sociopaths & murderers.
Now this is all I can see.
Ben Franklin was easily one of the craziest fucks in early American history. And actually worshiped the devil.

cancel culture is way different, far more aggressive, where any single thought that isn’t aligned is attacked. it’s a completely different animal.
Yeah, nothing like Mcarthyism.
And ask Bill Maher and Howard Stern about cancel culture.

Bill Maher talks about cancel culture all the time though.
His show was never going to last on broadcast television, he himself admitted that.
Who was behind his cancellation?
And he talks about it because it was typically from the right and now you see it from the left. From the right it’s to be expected as it was usually the left that championed free speech, seeing that it is a liberal value.
I"m not sure what you are arguing about or if this is you just arguing to argue.
I’m not interested in going backwards to the origins of this tactic. Whatever the origins, the left has taken this idea of ‘cancel culture’ and have run with it to some pretty staggering lengths.
Yes, the left has abandoned free speech. Right now, they’ve lost their minds. Especially on college campuses, and in the online realm. You can’t even chat on certain message boards if the mods are left leaning because they will immediately ban you for wrong think no matter how polite and reasonable you are being. I don’t see that in any single right leaning forum.
The left is losing it, mentally, as I said before. And one of the distinct differences in their use of the tactic Is that it comes from almost every one of them, not just the crazies. The right had it’s crazies that would call up to complain about everything, but right now on the other side?
It’s virtually every one of them or it seems that way.
