    Oh yea, I keep getting downvoted for my pro-gun views, because they just assume I’m some right-winger. Like no lol, I just distrust cops and want the people to form well-regulated militias to keep the peace.

      I’m a sane leftist (idek how to label myself anymore in light of current politics and global divides), so also pro-2A.

      It feels like there’s a billion false flag attacks within left-leaning online spaces that have completely fractured it. I get that that’s not new, but it feels like we are accelerating in a very negative way lol. I personally think that the abuse of the doctrine of intersectionality and use of identity politics by my peers have destroyed any hope for a strong progressive front.
