Now I see myself as a person towards the alt left side( for reasons I'm not going to get into now because it's too much to put on this post) and I don't think I have alt right view points but I've been noticing that some of alt right and alt left seems to sound the same. Like I see a lot of extremist and hypocrites from both sides who fail to form logical arguments and points. Like with alt right I'll see someone complaining about how alt left is scared and cowards but then turn around and say they are afraid to speak their minds because alt right is censoring them. I also see a lot of these folks just saying stuff off the top of their heads without backing themselves with any type of facts or credible research.
Alt Left is very similar. I'll see folks from alt left literally getting mad because you checked them with dictionary definitions. I'll hear them say "that's not true and I don't believe those definitions because the oppressors made them" but if they argument is in their favor they will selectively use facts. I actually got into it with a few popular "activist" for either not forming a logical point or failing to correct themselves and I even got blocked by one because she wanted me to agree with her broken point. I even got blocked by a lot of old "friends" who saw me as a token black woman and were upset that I didn't agree with their racist logic.
I also despise the idea of "trigger warnings". I just find that it is absolutely ridiculous because outside of the internet and in life you aren't going to be able to "trigger warning" things. Some of these people are just fake activist too. I'll talk to some of them who are so say self proclaimed activist about racism and the problem with racism for example and they'll be like "add tw because if you don't you are problematic.I can't deal with this it's triggering". I notice both alt right and left tend to feel threatened if you are calling out their bs and actually using a credible point/facts to back yourself than the mob of hive minds come for you if you disagree and try to rip you a part. Have anyone else also notice any of this?
Also I should note that I am not saying every single person in alt right and left are like this. I just met a majority from both who are like this in my experience.
