Just a reminder... no matter how much you listen or try to genuinely understand them.. this is almost always the outcome when you discuss things with a leftist... Either you agree with them, or they get offended, make personal attacks, and walk.

Every interaction I have with the left leaves me wanting to have less to do with them than the time before, and this is sad since I associate more with left ideals in many cases than right ones.

@freemo clearly you are not interested in what I have to say (or what you say) done here

@freemo

not all leftists. maybe the illiberal left? often called woke?

@wjmaggos All and everyone rarely ever applies truely to everyone... The one exception would be , all caps are truely and literally bastards, but thats a tangent.

But the point is that it is so pervasive and the norm that it might as well be all.. certainly an overwhelming majority.

@freemo @wjmaggos

Replace leftist with "low decoupler" and I think you're about 95% right. And I'm not saying anything about the correlation between left/right and high/low decoupling, but I think that people who can't independently evaluate the logic of an emotionally charged claim are more likely to exhibit this kind of behavior.

That would probably be a more accurate term considering this pattern is hardly limited to the left.
