There's an extreme right, and there's an extreme left. Right now the whole right is an extreme right, whereas the left is divided between more moderate and cancel culture. Apparently tucker said that the right would go into full fascist mode because of BLM/antifa (lol), I'm wondering if the left is going full woke because of the right going fascist. People are being triggered by the other side, and becoming extremists themselves. There's no moving forward with division, this whole thing is probably good for the rest of the world.

There is a whole spectrum, and a silent majority in the middle that doesn't want to engage with either aggressive extreme.

And in both cases, the extreme isn't particularly rare. Discussing which side has a worse distribution isn't easy to do accurately or particularly helpful

What you described might just be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If the moderate right routinely gets bundled with the far right extremists (and often anti-vac, conspiracy theory and whatever) for voicing out their right leaning (but moderate) opinions, then they might just choose to censor themselves instead.

The good thing is that we realized how bad it was back in 2016 (and again in 2020 considering the amount of people who went out to vote for the orange man).

Please do not take HN threads further into ideological flamewar. This is veering off topic, and not in the good way.
