The *far* left and the far right look to me to behave in similar ways, like religious zealots. I realise that both think they are building a better future for humanity but the common thread is treating opponents like kindling for a righteous fire
I appreciate that most people don't think they are "far" anything and calling someone an extremist can be a useful way of undermining people you don't agree with. I am trying to be careful about that. But I see common themes in the way people behave on this platform and beyond
I think the extreme partisanship is poison to society. The poison spreads everywhere, making people divide the world into good and evil. I think the symptom of the poison spreading is sealed echo chambers and a breakdown in empathy. I am wondering what we can do about it.
I must admit a personal interest here: far left and far right revolutions are never good for the Jews.
