[QUOTE="Lotta Booze, post: 564135, member: 4471"] In general I think it's exaggerated but in order to exaggerate something there has to be some truth in there as well. I find myself shaking my head and being frustrated with new/headlines/rhetoric I see online involving some radical leftists trying to police language or wield online outrage groups against their enemies. But then I have to remind myself that so much of it is just online and in my real life, day to day, I don't encounter anything near what is seen online. I run in some pretty liberal circles and believe it or not find a lot of common ground amongst other liberals with finding these actions extreme. I think there is a lot of "virtue signaling" that people do to try and show how "woke" they are. People seem to be trying to score some social justice points if they can find things that are problematic with....virtually everything. Some of these arguments are more valid than others. Some things are problematic and warrant discussion/adjustment/condemnation if needed but many take it to an extreme and only view the world through that filter. [/QUOTE]
