Over the years I have had hundreds of left-wing people block me for sincerely asking for the facts in a situation, a situation I agree with them on... I cant recall a right-winger ever doing that (not that they dont have a ton of other issues).

As someone who has and still does lean left I have to say every day i become more and more ashamed of the way "my side" behaves... its depressing to see.

Being left of centre does not necessarily imply openness of mind.

@arinbasu1 Thats kinda my point, if anything it appears to suggest a rather violently opposed mind to any sort of contradictory thought.

… And criticism for the sake of criticism. Perhaps to appear holier than thou or whatever (sigh) … :-)

@arinbasu1 Criticism for the sake of criticism I think I find fairly common on both sides of the spectrum, at least at the more extreme ends.

Everywhere. Its power play. Criticise, deny, dehumanise.
