HEY EVERYONE I IGNORE SOMEONE LOOK AT ME
What a bizarre take.No extremists are good, on either side, fullstop. But it's the left wing extremists that effect your day to day life. Right wing extremists have no voice, have no power, and have no influence on society. Left wing extremists get entertainment changed, companies to change products, get people fired, get businesses closed, get education changed, get fecking plastic straws banned, there are a powerful group with a lot of influence on our society, one of the most influential.
Who's influence do you think it is that the US has trainings for kids to deal with school shootings rather than stricter gun laws? Why do you think the US has the largest prison complex per capita in the world? Why do you think they have no healthcare, abysmal federal minimum wage, an utterly hollowed out middle class and a system where 5% of workers have to work two jobs just to make ends meet? Who you think downsized corporate tax in the US from 53% in the 60s to 21% today?
Did you not notice that roe vs wade overturned was overturned last year? Or the insurrection that stormed capitol hill?
The modern US has been so utterly radicalised by the far right that presidents like Obama, who stood for what would be considered centrist republican policies in the 80s, had become a leftist democrat by the 00s.
