I don't think people join the right because they are annoyed by leftists, I think they join the right because they see a bunch of people full of hatred and want to join in because of their self-centered misanthropy.
I think to a degree the left pushes people out though, as your lefty card needs to be spotless or it’s revoked.
Sometimes a person can say one thing wrong and they’ll be labelled an alt-right fascist, and not part of “the group” on the left, especially online.
Obviously that doesn’t make people right wing, but it is a problem that pushes people away from more left leaning views/groups. Rather than try to discuss and correct, people will berate and ostracise.
Ok, I'll bite, give me an example of "one thing wrong" that gets you labelled as an alt-right fascist.
Supporting Ukraine, or liking Stalin. Depending on which instance you're chatting in
Ok you got me, I don't see tankies as mainstream left wing, they're fare gone but wouldn't label them alt-right
Yeah alt-right maybe not, but they're called red fash for a reason
huh, generally i'd say not supporting ukraine gets you labelled as a twat and excluded from leftist circles
Tankies love Putin
and tankies are labeled as twats and excluded from most leftist circles
it depends, a lot of european politicians for example were recently voted out of office and replaced by far right dickheads in large part because of their anti-ukraine views... it's alarming how common this is and how much ground the left has lost in a lot of european countries because of not supporting ukraine, meanwhile the right used this to their advantage and went all out pro-ukraine (for example in italy with fascist girlboss PM and her coalition). i think this was also a contributing factor in recent finnish elections.
the right is uniting in eurpope for once, instead of hating each other, as well as taking advantage of anti-immigrant anti-LGBT sentiments in the population, meanwhile infighting in the left is causing it to crumble. it's a terrible sign
Shouting "Sig heil!"
Saying you are against abolishing or defunding the police.
Lately, not supporting Hamas tends to bring out those accusations
Not supporting Palestinians (you know, the civilians, including children) tends to bring out those accusations.
The way you formulated it, however, indicates that you think that Hamas = Palestinians or at least that it's fine if Palestinians suffer for the actions of Hamas, something only a racist would think, so in your case the "accusations" are associated to you being percieved as a racist.
Maybe the one thing the entirety of the Left agrees on is that Racists are scum, not least because racism is one the main defining features of the oldest most murderous kind of rightwing extremism there is: Fascism.
