Right-wing Internet users do not have a monopoly on getting worked up and lobbing personal attacks against other internet users. The association of politeness with left or liberal politics in this thread is extremely weird. I don't think anybody would confuse me calling someone a moronic Nazi for either right-wing or civil speech. Likewise, it's possible for a racist Stormfront poster to interact civilly with black posters on a hobby forum or a news article where they agree (i.e. "local man arrested for jerking off at preschool"), or for someone on the economic far-right to condemn overt racist posts. This discussion is hosed.

BarbarianElephant posted:There's different sorts of politeness "I hate Nazis" is very different from "I hate Muslims." Both sides are not the same! I understand that and agree, but both are provocative to certain audiences, and both could be and are used to attack people and to troll. Liberals are just as capable of saying mean things to and about people as conservatives and fascists, and often do. Whether or not those things are more fair or accurate has little to do with whether or not they're "nicer", or less likely to provoke a fight if you say them in the right place.
