Jordan Bach, 37, has chronicled his right wing debut on social media, sharing his thought processes as someone whose political views have drastically shifted.
The insults I get from right wingers tend to be things like “fuck you libtard pussy” while the worst from leftists is something like “I guess you love genocide”.
And maybe this is where we disagree, but I think the “fuck you libtard pussy” insult is way less severe than the “I guess you love genocide.”
The fuck you comment is just dismissive and they move on.
But the genocide mark is implying that you love something you don’t, and they are trying to trap you, guilt you, mock you, and make you feel like shit about your life and your choices.
Right insulters just want to ignore you and want you to go away.
Left insulters definitely don’t like to move on. They want you to fucking hate yourself. That’s the difference I see.
For the record, tho, I didn’t bow down to either side’s insults. I was proud to vote Socialist party before election day (early mail-in!), and still proud after the election. :)
And I STILL get DM’s that say I am working for Russia and getting paid in rubles and that I want to destroy America. Even tho the election is over. Just because I voted third party. (Hi, poopernickel, I’m still not in russia, still not gonna vote for your party, and I’m still around!)
Conservatives have also in my experience been way more likely to say mildly veiled death threats, if that means anything to you.
At least the “guess you love genocide” is an attempt to persuade you about a political topic. It has absolutely nothing to do with “want you to hate yourself”. The “libtard” shit is precisely the topic here - just plain hate.
Not sure if you’re aware that the scumbag you’re attempting to converse with has been widely banned for being a sealion and troll. This is just one of their many alts. They spend most of their life just trying to piss people off. I think they get sexually aroused when they think they’ve pissed another person off.
Just a bizarre human, whose mission is to waste everyone’s time and upset them. Literally never seen them interact any other way.
I don’t have to agree to anything, but okay. You could come up with some reasons why you feel that death threats, slurs and insults are less hateful.
It’s also notable that the “fuck you libtard” type of response is far more common than the “you love genocide”. A small handful of leftists act like that. Much more common is moderate left/US liberal people who politely engage in conversation. You can see that all over Lemmy and Reddit. Meanwhile, try going to Reddit’s /r conservative and criticize Trump, or even just repeat things he’s said that make him look bad. You’ll get insulted and banned quickly.
US liberals look down on certain groups for features they could change - being sexist, ignorant, violent, you know, typical hardcore Trump supporters. Hardcore Trump supporters look down on people for things they can’t change - being non-white, poor, or a woman.
I mean, just read the posts on /r/conservative or /r/conspiracy. Check out the racism and hatred of women, the poor and immigrants among those communities. Saying US liberals are hateful compared to MAGA people is perhaps one of the most absurd things anyone has ever told me.
But you’re right, you don’t have to agree with me on anything. And I don’t have to agree with you on anything. I have received more hate from liberals on Lemmy than I have from conservatives. And they were more hateful.
My personal experience. And that doesn’t match your personal experience.
Yep, all because I didn’t support Harris, I voted Socialist, and I posted ACCURATE news articles about how the polls were showing Trump gaining on Harris, before she DID get decimated in the election. She lost both the popular and electoral votes!
Hmmm, funny how that works, isn’t it?
And yet here I am, in spite of your little creepy program that you wrote and offered to people so they could stalk and downvote every comment I make.
How are ya, friend? I don’t see you over in c/politcs much anymore. What happened? Oh! It’s became a toxic hellhole because you all are so mad that you lost.
I’m not whining. I’m actually glad that people know that you think I’m getting paid by the russians to post. It wasn’t just in DM’s, you said it all over c/poltics in .world. Which got removed for breaking community rules.
And I’m glad that people know that you wrote a program to track me on Lemmy and then offered it to others.
All because I voted for a Socialist third-party in the election. Which I still stand by.
The election is over, friend. You can stop thinking that every poster you don’t like is being paid by the russians, and then then track them with your little program. It’s wierd.
Lol you want to talk to me about a few removed comments when you got banned from several instances and had some of your entire subs nuked for being a disgusting sealioning troll. How are those alts you bragged about coming? I keep seeing those get banned too and it warms my heart.
You don’t see any “alts” banned. Because I don’t have any. You see UM everwhere you look. Which is hilarious to me. The fact that you feel for the whole “group of trolls all joined up to change the election!!” is so funny.
What hypothetical “alts” of mine do you think have been banned?! lol That place is a toxic hellhole, why would I ever even post there?! It’s a joke now. It’s all you guys crying over and over.
Besides, I was right. The polls DID show Trump gaining on Harris. And he DID win.
I have nothing to be ashamed about. I stand by everything I said, because I was correct. :)

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that.

Which was happening on Lemmy pre-election. A lot.

You know about banning. Probably lost count of how many accounts you get banned from for being a sealion and troll 🥰

Still whining about the accurate DM I sent a week ago I see.
