On the other hand toxic right wing misinformation? That can go fuck itself

That's what they said, "right wing content".

The only measure by which "we need police to protect people from criminals" is less toxic than "we need to stop migration to preserve the white race" is how palatable it is to centrists. Both promote causing harm to millions of people while pretending to be necessary for the safety of you and me, tricking people into supporting egregious violence against vulnerable minorities.

I'm not your mom, I can't tell you how to resolve your cognitive dissonance, but the boundary you're proposing is merely a popularity contest.

This is the kind of toxic content I was referring to yes. People can claim to be leftist and generate toxic misinformation, people can also be conservative but go on about their lives while respecting others. You may not be my mom but you definitely need one.

Also I should probably note, I don't feel like discussing the distinction between these two with a person who enters the topic with insults. So have fun running around by yourself.
