As someone who has worked all over the world and is interested in politics I just wanted to see if I am only one who finds the language of the left tiring.
To give you an allusion of the type of language i mean below are two prime examples:
- Taking the most extreme view and expressing it as if it is common.
- Denying that people should show personal responsibility (this quite often goes hand in hand with point number 1).
I just find the language instantly de-rails any sort of constructive conversation regarding policy into a haves vs have-nots type argument which puts most people on the defensive. While people on the right are having sensible arguments with each other regarding society; in general people I talk to on the left seem to be in their own little world.
AIBU to think this sort of language is all to common from the left and it is what is isolating them?
