I don't think people join the right because they are annoyed by leftists, I think they join the right because they see a bunch of people full of hatred and want to join in because of their self-centered misanthropy.

100% they just use being annoyed by leftists to hide their ideological view points. Just wanted to share this cause I thought it was funny.
Yeah, I probably shouldn't have posted that. I didn't get enough sleep and I'm grouchy. Sorry.
Youre all good, my upstairs neighbor were thumping bass till 5am so I feel your pain, about to take a nap before getting started on a Thanksgiving meal. My apartment complex's solution is for me to call the Police non emergency line to tell em to turn it down, cause in their words, "the police usually scares them." Not gonna use institutionalized violence to solve my probelms so I did an annoyingly loud loop over my guitar amp to tell them to turn it down.
I don't blame you for not calling them. That can lead to very bad things these days. Hope your solution at least pissed them off if it didn't work.

It's the same people that say Atheists are as annoying as Christians. Bro, there a lot of atheists you just don't hear about, you're making a lame excuse to be Christian.

I'm right because women are wrong /s
People don't align with the Right because of shared political ideals, they align with the Right because the Right hates the same people they do and promises to punish those they hate.
They can scream and wail about "family values" all they want, but when they're lined up with neo-nazis, white supremacists, and pedophiles all praising their glorious leader (who, BTW, believes that there are "very fine people" among a group who chants "Jews will not replace us! "), everyone on the outside has to wonder what "values" they are really fighting for.
I think to a degree the left pushes people out though, as your lefty card needs to be spotless or it’s revoked.
Sometimes a person can say one thing wrong and they’ll be labelled an alt-right fascist, and not part of “the group” on the left, especially online.
Obviously that doesn’t make people right wing, but it is a problem that pushes people away from more left leaning views/groups. Rather than try to discuss and correct, people will berate and ostracise.
You think that doesn't happen on the right? There's a huge fight in congress now about which idiot is the Republicanest. They're all calling each other RINOs.
Ok, I'll bite, give me an example of "one thing wrong" that gets you labelled as an alt-right fascist.
Supporting Ukraine, or liking Stalin. Depending on which instance you're chatting in
Ok you got me, I don't see tankies as mainstream left wing, they're fare gone but wouldn't label them alt-right
Yeah alt-right maybe not, but they're called red fash for a reason

I consider myself a communist, I have been called a nazi or a fascist (I don't remember) by some people here because I don't share 100% some of their ideas, I'm still on the left, I still have empathy, I fully support individual freedom. But they are annoying nonetheless.

CHOOSE:
freedom of thought, but you have to learn to work with people you disagree with slightly or find annoying: left
uniformity of thought, but you are surrounded by bleating sheep and must bleat along: right
It cracks me up how antivaxxers on the right try using the slogan "Lions not sheep". It reminds me of how Fox News used to call themselves "Fair and Balanced".
It's always funny when the right start having a lot of infighting because it turns out that "what everyone thinks" turns out to be a personal choice.

Fucking leftists, they ruined leftism!
The Leftists certainly are a contentious people.
Edit: I'm actually kinda surprised they never did anything with that. Willie should have harbored the grudge for years only to attack Skinner out of nowhere.

huh, who could have thought that political opinions are not strictly binary.
That premise is incorrect, though. Conservatives don't have political opinions. Seriously. Even the GOP platform doesn't exist anyone. It's all just culture war nonsense and dog whistles. And their voters know the "traditional values" white person is being erased and discriminated against and they need to stand vigilantly opposed to wokeness... How do they know? Their feelings.

"I was mad the people I tend to agree with how to fix my country were not doing enough, so I just became part of the problem."
Like anyone on the right actually cares about fixing problems. It's all about how they can benefit from a situation, how they can spin things to their advantage.

Yo we should stop it though. Its part of the reason they can get stuff done and we can't.
No. Leftie infighting is important. Thats why I'm gonna say Thought Slime is sussy af and actually the most annoying leftist of all time.
No! We can't work together with people who want something else just because they call themselves leftists, too
Yeah, I'm a leftist, I just think landlords have their place, billionaires are job creators, and if we disrupt the status quo too much the global south might stop giving us resources for nothing- A Great Mind

Considering the Right has a unified goal (complete removal of "them" and codifying perceived hierarchy into law), they don't care about the process
The Left does NOT have a unified goal OR process. Off the top of my head, the Contrapoints/Hasanabi "millionaires are ok, thinking otherwise is immature and envious", the Maupin/Coffin Red Browns, the Vaush/Xanderhal "it should be codified that I should be able to say the N word", the "all theft should be legal" webcomic artists, the Sinfest "feminism went too far when it allowed trans/queer people", the tiktok "any intercourse information made public should be an assault charge"
