In general, yes but there's definitely leftist condescension and gaslighting in response to wrong-think.

Absolutely not. There are two centrists on Saidit these days, and literally every other user is far right. There is no condescension or gaslighting. I often get hostile responses and sometimes respond in the same way. Those are normal responses to hostility. The other centrist is incredibly nice to everyone. Sometimes I'm also nice, before I've had my morning coffee.

To Zapped's point: I'm here to see how Saiditors are responding to far right propaganda. There are several subreddits that also reveal similar information, but I've come to know many Saiditors - though virtually - and I am curious about your specific reactions. I also like to argue, but don't take it personally.

I thought you were here to spread far left propaganda.

Pick an example

(Responses to my posts often include agreement with what the Repugs have done.)

Most of your posts are about calling trump voters idiots and pretending Biden is a choirboy, all baseless lies and cringe worthy. You do it knowing it's nonsense to try and wind up tension in discussion.

Political discussions can get heated, and it's essential to keep things respectful. Let's focus on constructive conversations that bring diverse opinions to the table. Share your thoughts, and let's find common ground without resorting to name-calling. 🤝🗣️

I've made 3 posts. None of them do that explicitly, and as I noted, responses to those posts praise the way in which Republicans are making the US into a banana republic

You have more alts than I've had 😄 3 posts as no_u perhaps, what about the rest?

Besides, it's common knowledge that you're an advocate of left wing followings, 'popular' protest causes at the heart of disruption, etc.

I can't think of any 'left wing' posts of mine. As a centrist, I am naturally against far right, authoritarian and fascist propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation which might be what you consider 'left', though it's not in the least. It's against the misinformation propaganda machine of the .01% that many Saiditors perhaps don't realise they support.
