  We are a platform that welcomes anyone who wants to be here in good faith. With that said, we are also an intentionally leftist platform; conservative and reactionary ideologies will not be tolerated here.

  They live in an idolgical bubble where contrary opinions are not tolerated, and dissent is shunned. The only voices they hear are leftist and extreme leftist voices shifting the Overton window of politics in their minds leading to radical beliefs.

  It’s important to have your beliefs challenged at times, they lack that. If you can try and listen to voices from opposing view points, maybe even share your own in a respectful manner.

  (This isn’t an issue particular to any side of politics, it also occurs in more right wing groups)

    I guess I’ve been really surprised at their support for Palestine.

    I thought that the left would be less supportive of the more conservative religion

      I don’t think they support Palestine as much as they oppose colonialism.

        If that’s true it seems very reductive.

      They’re trolls. Is most of the world supporting XYZ? We are suddenly against XYZ for reasons! Is someone giving actual real life reasons to support XYZ? We have to reply with emojis!

      They’re very gang oriented. Once one of them declares an opion the rest of them must follow it and defend it no matter what.

        Honestly this answer most adequately explains their behaviour.
