Oh noes!
Every item on the list, I have.
I must be one of those dangerous violent extremists the TV warns us about! :O
Since they put hammer and sickle (the symbol of communism ) I would argue the acceptance of sexual orientations, religions, genders, races etc was also a problem there. It is liberalism that accepts it.
The claim about everyone being treated equally is also not completely true. I mean, in theory, yes, in practice whenever communism (especialy the one exported from USSR) was implemented some people were "more equal" than others.
Yeah. I supposed that is the joke of it. The image is actually describing is someone a tad left of center.
Actual leftism extremists have nothing but excuses for the human right violations.
It's an essential requirement for being an extremist. The moment one recognizes they're doing it and voices the concern, they are violently ejected from the movement.
You are describing a small minority of self-styled leftists who largely are terminally online.
Those doing the real work, such as practicing mutual aid or organizing tenants unions, are not generally defending historic atrocities.
The point of the post is that the window of mainstream discourse has shifted so far right that even basic human empathy has become controversial.
But what you're describing isn't an extremist, just an activist.
I am describing actual leftists.
Yes but not actual extremists.
Leftists are derided as extremist.
What do you understand as the meaning of the post?
There's a reason why they are referred as tankies. They supported using tanks on people during Hungarian uprising.
Ironically MAGA fascists are very similar, because the real goal they are after is authoritarianism.
