LoL even the downvotes on my post show that the toxic narcissism present on much of the left wing even exists in the meta . FYI I am about as left wing as they come , I stand to the left of what most would consider extreme socialism . The problem is , that while the right has had to sharpen it ' s debating teeth over the years , by being constantly forced to defend their positions and argue the validity of their usually wrong stance . The left have had years of using Fascist style content censorship and noplatforming tactics . in online spacesand what ' s the end result in the real world ? Right wing government in USRight wing government in UKRise of the right in France , Holland , Greece and many other parts of Europe . and other parts of the world the left has sadly , gotten so used to the toxic narcissism mindset , which is these days wonderfully charactured by the 3 rd wave fem SJW movement , that they have genuinely created a giant echo chamber for themselves . Take feminism for example . Before 3 rd wave toxicity , people would actually debate feminism , and more often than not , those feminists would win the debate . the cause was advanced . But now , no one debates 3 rd wave femenists , because there is no point , anything outside of their very limited sociopolitical viewpoint is instantly shut down , censored , and the person making the comment is likely to receive an instaban . the result ? Feminism has become a joke , with most real feminists , many of whom fought tooth and nail to argue its virtues back in the day , not even referring to themselves as feminists any more . it ' s so toxic and unhealthy . Normal people are able to see both the good AND the bad in something or someone and come to a judgment . but the toxicity of the left has given us a narrative that only extreme good can be allowed . this removes the debate from reality . I will give you an example using Ice cream . the phrase isIce cream is delicious , but if you eat too much of it , you will get fat , and then you will be less attractive to the opposite sexNow a mentally healthy person , would see that this is a balanced statement , a true statement , and the only criticism you are likely to get , at a push , would be someone stating that you should say interested sex instead of opposite sex make that statement on a leftlovesicecream sub . you will get several narky answers about how attraction to the opposite sex is not important as long as you are living your life the way you want to , and before long you will be banned for fat shamingand not because anyone gives a shit about fat shaming , or genuinely thinks you are fat shaming , but because you have said something negative about ice cream . Thus all attempts to find a victim archetype will be made , in this case , the fat pie who can ' t stop eating ice cream and can ' t get a date , so that the person who made the comment can be cast as the persecutor and they the mod as the rescuer completing the ' Karpman Drama triangle which has at its centre , the concept of denial and thus the fascist actions have perceived justification and the rescuer gets an ego boost . sad but true
