“Opposite” of a “certain left wing political party” sounds not at all dissimilar to the reactionary extremist right wing folks here in the US with the only cohesive policy element of “own the libs”. They too suffer from a significantly higher rate of being cancelled. In fact, your story reminds me a bit of the Clinton scandals and the first Trump election. How does the saying go? Lie down with dogs and get up with fleas?
Not to digress, but really, if you’re not involved with politics and you’re not espousing hatred towards people, your risk of getting cancelled is truly and realistically low. But if you’re not talking to roughly half of the entire population because of that incident, visit a therapist. You’re missing out on some great connections.
I just want to double-check. Is your contention that being right wing is sufficient justification to lie in order to destroy someone’s reputation? I have no love for the right wing but that’s a morally repugnant stance, id it is indeed the stance you’re taking.
No, no need to lie and no justification for it. The story sounds… odd to say the least.
If people wanna get upset about other people’s college drama and avoid women, sure I guess that’s their prerogative.
But in the context of US politics, most Trump voters do hold views that are socially damning and generally fall under the umbrella of hate towards someone that’s not a straight white cisgender christian man. An official government account made a post using 14 words with two H’s capitalized, an unmistakeable neo-Nazi reference, in the last month. So no, there should be no respect for people that continue to embrace this Project 2025 dystopian bullshit. Still, lies aren’t justified.
It’s an extremist stance. Specially considering that this is not US politics where left wing is generally just right wing and at most center. If I had to describe these parties in US political landscape it would be something like Bernie sanders left wing vs Joe Biden right wing.
Nah it’s just that the anecdote doesn’t sound like the whole truth and your reaction seems irrational and exaggerated.
If you have good character, you shouldn’t be concerned.
Every time.
