Reflexive heel-digging is indicative of your priorities, i.e. people you don't disagree with aren't conspiracy theorists. This topic is well covered territory and to touch further on the examples I've given: Facebook's own admissions to weighting the angry reaction 5x more than likes is, again, not a conspiracy theory.(1)

Also politically what I've written doesn't come under "left wing", it actually doesn't come under any political wing. Trying to turn this into some left/right wing disagreement is only a distraction. Indeed if you're feeling challenged in your views, then maybe the Internet isn't for you.

What you wrote is a often repeated line from left leaning institutions and people that follow them. I don’t disagree with you but I do disagree with the narrative you’re following.

When one normalises the right wing extremist views, everything is going to look "left wing".

It seems these days that everything that is rightwing even a little is considered extremist in left leaning circles.
