Different kind of losers the left and right attract
As pretty much everyone has pointed out, online politics is a magnet for the absolutely most pathetic people in the whole the world.
That being said, I think I’ve noticed a pattern on what kind of loser each side of the political spectrum attracts.
The left seems to attract deeply self loathing losers who are painfully aware of how pathetic they are. They aim to be the closest possible to any marginalized identity just so they can suck up a bit of their victimhood.
That’s why you’ll always see them mad on other people’s behalf. It’s also the reason why every online anarcho-queer-communist-whatever has a list of mental illnesses in their bio. They openly display their weakness so you can pity them.
On the other hand, the right seems to attract losers who delusionally believe they are actually the greatest people on earth.
Online they’ll often will go off on how badass they are.
People with this outlook are constantly in the need of blaming all their failures on a shadowy cabal that keeps them down. The identity of this group depends on the type of rightoid. It might be the liberal elite, the federal government, feminism, the Jews or just women in general.
This is why the right dominates conspiracy theories and schizoposting.
