 It’s funny that people write unhinged hit pieces about nostr being far right or whatever. 

There is a lot of leftist thought on nostr.

 This made me almost spit out my coffee.  
 Exactly what Hitler would say. 
 Bet none of them ever actually tried it, or didn’t stick around long enough to talk to anyone here. 

Remember when we tried to purple-pill @bengoggin from NBC but he gave up after one day?

 If they can't control it they smear it

Wouldn't want that pesky freedom spreading around all out of control 
 There was girl on Nostr who said she wanted to get pregnant, name the baby Steve (presumably after me), then abort it. There are absurd leftists everywhere; they’re morally bankrupt on all platforms. 
 More than i’d like, but that’s the beauty of nostr. Can’t complain 
 Same with bitcoin! Basically there are two types of people in most arenas.🤷🤷‍♂️ 
 Easy for outsiders to look back and forth to each aisle of the bus and say that one’s left, and that one’s right. 

But at least it’s a nice bus and we’re enjoying our ride. 
 More wild that the left hates free speech now.  Despots. 
 Right wing = far right
Left=left? 
 Leftist - Rightist - Middleist - Bullshitist -- It is all just opinions and only has Value if it is given to it. The Idea of Free speech is that people say what they feel, to regret or not at a later date. The REAL value in all this is that peop;e need to learn how to accept other views and not have a heart attack while screaming at who ever write what they did not lke.. Just  like we used to have to do in the old days, when people were a little "Harder" andmore Able.. 
 Understandably many "leftists" are probably not used to being out in the real world of censorship free communications. They have been coddled by censorship driven ecosystems that caters to their sensitive feelings. 
 Communista! Fucking comunista everywha! Dey ees everywhere, like-a da cockroaches, ya hear me? Dey ees tryin' to take ovah, to ruin-a our country, our famiglia, our way of life. Fucking comunista, I no like-a dem, I no trust-a dem. Dey ees all da same, like-a da sheep, followin' da leader, no thinkin' for demselves. Comunista, comunista, everywhere, it's-a like-a da plague, fuhgeddaboutit! 
 Scary. 
 Classic just like the corn.

It transcends political lines.  
 “Leftist thought” is an oxymoron 
 Anyone with slightly conservative views is labeled as "far right" these days.  The "right" has just vanished into thin air lol 
 Anything that doesn't fit an extremely narrow Overton window of "politically acceptable thought" is now far right. Just have to learn to ignore it, like all those other ridiculous labels. 
 I notice a lot of (to me uncomprehensible) fear-fed (?) support for the far right, with much deep state conspiracy vibes. I just choose to unfollow those accounts and try to follow the apparant moderates here. I think in polarisation we have to find and listen to the middle ground. 
 Far right here, that means you're winning tbh.
Im a huge critic of nostr, but this is big if true. 
 People who understand the world don't use the left right paradigm. 
 what about centrists? are we a "myth"?
