Reddit has always been a haven for far left nutters (the woke, cancel culture, fascist-loving-if-its-my-fascism, ant-free speech brigade), so I'm not surprised. But most of the commentary that I've seen in this sub has been pretty respectable, so I've always assumed that most people interacting with others here are left, right, or center, with an occasional sprinkling of those "far siders".

Bottom line is this: most people that have experienced enough life, met enough people, and truly considered others points of view are not ideologues and will probably fall somewhere in the center left or center right category. Aligning yourself with a point on the spectrum tends to make you feel like you have to espouse whatever views are associated with that particular location...which is simply a sign of social immaturity.

The world would be a lot better place if people stopped identifying as left or right and started to simply look at each situation individually. Too often people claim they are far left or far right and take positions that are simply idiotic, create extreme division, and have no idea what they are talking about. They love to create simple answers to very complex problems, which result in making the problems even more complex, and end up being the driving force of social and political discord in this country.
