And, as ever, often quite hard to tell them apart. Anger, victimhood, certainty, tribal zealotry, and a black and white view of the world. Sometimes only the little flags serve to distinguish them.

No introspection then? As far as I can see, the vast majority of replies are just calling you out for being consistently wrong. I guess if you’re a smug prick that would seem like an attack rather than an opportunity to grow and learn.
I am a social democrat, I apologize if any communist people were rude to you, but with fascism coming against us, it is important to stand united against the far right. Equating both camps is not useful, given the importance of the moment we live in. Thank you for your work and have a nice day
If you can't tell left from right, that's not because they aren't different enough. It's because you're incapable of digesting the most basic points of political ideology despite being one of the most ideological people I have ever encountered.
Well, taking a glance at the replies to Ian's 'the left were wrong, but right' thread yesterday demonstrates quite a lot of sarcasm and humour, so it's odd that his response is to block rather than have a little chuckle and introspection.
Most of them don't even know what they are - just a tangled mess of zealotry, envy, xenophobia etc., etc.
As a devout lefty, I find it depressing that so many modern self-declared lefties
(a) haven't a socialist clue,
(b) hate Corbyn (REALLY hate),
(c) think the Labour party is soft on immigration.
I understand the frustration, but also think we need to build a broad coalition, fascist corporate feudalism is knocking on the doors. I will not agree with everyone on everything. undestand the leftists you speak about are the ones doing the dividing.We need to reach out to them somehow though.How?
Extremists have to resolve the fact that their obviously correct system has not conquered the world. That’s why they tend towards
a) conspiracy and
b) yelling at people on the internet
Might want to crack open a newspaper or connect your computer to the internet, extremism has conquered the world. That it's a shade you're comfortable with doesn't change that.
Yeah that doesn’t work as well as people think it does. Obviously they are not exactly the same it’s just that on quite a few subjects they agree. With grifters like Farage & Galloway then can agree on many things.
How on earth do you have a career as a political commentator when your basic political comprehension is so poor? People who are to your left and right annoy you, therefore they are the same?
Of course Ian Dun has never expressed anger or victimhood when getting dunked on by leftist shitposters. He is above it all, sensibly ensconced at the centre of his golden horseshoe.
This might get me blocked, but I never not think of centrists like this.
I know that OP is more nuanced, but when fascism comes to town(s), you build leftist alliances, not saying nazis and people who might be a bit overzealous with their leftist beliefs are basically the same.
So this book covers how as western liberal thought is deconstructed, moral biases still facilitate cultural dogmatism resulting in inflammatory moral agents more befitted under the leftist/progressive umbrella?
If that is true, why does he still posit the difficulty in telling the difference?
If he's been making these assessments for years, why does he still fail to see the difference ideologically when he KNOWS the moral inflammation is a temporary symptom of deconstruction?
Why does he not just engage with problematic rhetoric instead of adding to the cultural confusion?

Also, wipe your arse.
The billionaires laugh at the plebs.
Dunt: Wow why have the communists done this, I must attack them.
Fuck Nazis.

*Don't block me this is a podcast related gag*
Banging on about self-reflection while exhibiting zero self-reflection. If you can't distinguish between them (this is not news), maybe it's you.
