I think I also misunderstood how much the left has always been violent and cruel.

The left has always been self righteous and judgemental, but the apparent widespread acceptance of violence and cruelty is relatively new, and again is probably largely a reflection of the recent masks off take no prisoners approach of the Jewish elite who police and manipulate online and media discourse, and the dumbing down and deterioration of American society in general. In the past there were radical left wing elements that could be violent, as we saw in the 60s with the weather underground and other Jewish dominated radical groups, but they weren't the mainstream. Now this kind of violent sociopathic behavior is what you see from the mainstream left.

How did you find this sub?

Yeah I also meant like in countries during communist revolution and under communist rule. They were genuinely not very nice to people as far as I understand. And some of the style even in older writing, like not just from the last decade or so, reminds me of the recent style of advocating for more compassion while also promoting cruelty towards people who do cruel or oppressive things.

I had thought that wasn't their approach: that they were big on respecting human rights, that they thought cruelty and not caring for people was wrong, etc.

I used to read sometimes a while back.
