Bullies full of rage, trying to hide their rage behind a worthy cause, are taking over the Left, using humanitarian causes as an excuse to vent their out-of-control anger.
I’ve never really gotten into an extended argument online. I usually just leave a blunt but civil comment on what I agreed with or what I didn’t. Once I’ve gotten a word in edgewise I don’t usually press the issue any further. I’ve decided to practice unconditional kindness.
I go back and forth on the question "Does online debate matter?" There is a growing element on the far-left that engages in very ugly style of online debate. Do they drive people away from progressive ideas? Do they discredit progressive movements? Do they grow the far-left via their displays of anger? I'm waiting for more evidence to come in, on this subject. But for now, I worry these rage addicts bring progressive ideas into disrepute.
