I'm not dismissing all of leftism, I'm just referring to so-called "tankies": e.g. people from Hexbear who themselves absolutely do not engage with political ideas "in good faith".
-
You're right about that, I just think the idea of horseshoe theory only works in practice if hypocrisy is a valid political idea.
-
themselves absolutely do not engage with political ideas “in good faith”.
It's not like you engaged with their political ideas in good faith though.
-
I think I have in the past. Then I had people from Hexbear just being total cunts in their replies. They were very intolerant of different views, rather than engaging with those views in good faith.
Maybe I shouldn't generalise across Lemmy.ml and Hexbear though - maybe some people on those instances are decent.
-
Have you considered that they may also have a past experience of people being total cunts as well? Why should they engage with your views in good faith if you don't engage with theirs?
-
I had a conversation with someone, I think they were from Hexbear, and I was trying to be polite while they were just being insulting for no reason.
Maybe I should just conclude that the particular person I was talking to was rude, and hopefully other people from leftist instances are not as rude.
