    Why does ‘leftist’ rhetoric sound scarily similar to extremist conservative rhetoric?

      Because both are anti-government, and liberals rely on government violence to maintain the status quo that keeps them comfortable. You don’t like threats to your privilege.

          Racism, sexism, ableism, is there anything that’s off limits for liberals?

          Oh yeah, actually fighting for their rights.
