    It’s not about them actually being the same.

    What @lowleekun@ani.social is saying is that no one sees themselves as the bad guy, regardless of what their opponents think.

        It won’t win anyone to your side if you’re trying to convince them and say that though. That’ll just harden them in their views.

        If you really want to reduce the influence of the right then you’d want to stop that sort of language spreading
