I'm getting hammered in the comment section of a right-leaning substack this week. The account started as resistance to lockdowns and mandates - you know, abuse of centralized authority, censorship of media, etc.
The number of commenters who really believe that when Bondi says she'll go after hate speech, it's ok because she's on the *right* side with them against the bad guys... it's bewildering.
It's why I moved away from the Left - the complete inability of my cohort to see that abuse of authority was dangerous regardless of how happy they were to see certain figures or ideologies targeted or certain narratives squashed.
On Nostr I see much less of this, though! Maybe the folks that take the time to disagree with you are the ones that jump onto the thread to comment?
