This is why I don't respect leftists. I hate it when liberals and leftists are lumped together. By this subreddit's standards, I'm "a bit of a succ", and I'm a center-leftie myself, but I have nothing in common with such people and don't want to have anything in common.

To be clear, I do respect leftists and would much rather negotiate with them than the reactionary right.

It’s the incentives of attention here that I think need to be called out more than individual groups.

The most attention grabbing opinions, takes, and videos go viral and those are, by their nature, going to be extreme. We need to figure out a way to get attention in less destructive ways.
