I'm aware that I'm oversimplifying things, it's an extremely nuanced and sensitive subject and to write about it in whole on Lemmy would be a mile long wall of text. I don't think I'm clueless, but I understand that insulting my intelligence makes you feel better about your predetermined conclusion and saves you from actually trying to engage with the substance of my comment.
I think it's pretty obvious that there are many people that think along the same lines as me but you can bury your head in the sand and pretend I'm a troll if you want.
Regardless of my personal opinions, my comment was written as a proof of how the left, despite broad similarities and agreements, eats itself over minor differences whilst the right aren't as bothered. You've done nothing but prove that point.
It's because on the left we actually have principles. The right are populist, they just demonise the minority of the day, they don't actually care about what they scream. Of course they get on very well because they have nothing they care about except power.
Great point.
