I’ve noticed this is exceptionally pronounced on Lemmy, and I don’t know if it’s a leftist mindset (btw, conservatives are identical in this outlook). Everything --I mean everything – is a binary concept. If you’re not up, then you’re definitely down. If you’re pro Israel, you’re definitely anti Palestine. If you’re pro Biden you’re absolutely anti progressive. There is absolutely nothing in between. Only children and conservatives view the world like this.
Usually kids start to understand that problems aren’t necessarily binary around pre-pubescence. Not so the average Lemmy user evidently.
Or as a great man put it: you’re either with us, or you’re with the terrorists!
