Yeah, I could have been more polite. I was just ribbing you for your initial comment because I’m someone who is economically left and I don’t think generalizations really help anyone find truth. I do see your point on people abusing systems to their own advantage, but I don’t think that means we should abandon any effort to be courteous and open-minded.

I think your comment was totally fine. You wrote it in a funny way and refuted my comment, although you had misunderstood what I tried to explain.
I am also economically left.

A leftist is someone who is dishonest, lies, hides behind a fake veil of "decency", a cry bully, etc. They will abuse any vagueness in their own favor and they don't care. They will gladly doxx you if they lose an argument, they will report you to your boss, they will call institutions to get the meaning of words or definitions changed, so they win the debate next time etc.

In r/Denmark I would've been banned if I wrote your comment. It could've been as a reply to a communist denying communist genocides, famines etc. and I could've written "Imagine thinking communist genocides didn't happen" and the genocide apologist wouldn't get banned but the "indecent" comment would. As they put it:
"You can be critical but it has to be formulated in a decent manner"
Which was funnily only applied to those the moderation team disagreed with or didn't like.

Yeah, I usually call those folks SJWs, crybullies, etc. They don’t understand leftism, and just use identity politics to coerce people. I think I understand what you’re talking about.

Yes, I used to refer to them as SJWs too actually but ironically that got Tone Police'd on r/Denmark so they'd ban anyone using that term, so we just invented new ones, which also got banned, so we stuck on "Leftists" because you can't really ban anyone for complaining about "Leftists".

The favorite word was "Mangfoldighedshumanist" (Diversity Humanist), the chinese actually have a word closely resembling that concept "Baizuo". "M.humanist" is a person who is very naive and loves islam and also love feminism which is completely contradictory. Of course the moderators also banned "Islam is right about women" because that sentence is both "racism" and "sexism" but the best part is that they would never explain why it was racism nor would they explain why it was sexist, because doing so would break their own damn rules LMAO.
Saying "Mangfoldighedshumanist" eventually also got banned, of course depending on the contextTM, and you couldn't get an explanation what this context was, because they didn't moderate any hypotheticals, so it was basically just "Use the word and we will ban you if we don't like you" lol.
