#hawk.txt #depending on the circle internet ml's generally lean towards mid-high levels of complexity and vulgarity #often with significant linguistic overlap with the less braindead sections of the extreme right #though the online right as a whole leans high vulgarity mid-high simplicity #due partly to prevailing anti-intellectualism but mainly due to general idiocy #left-liberals lean mid-high decency and mid-high simplicity #depending on whether you're talking about propagandists or like. political scientists #I can't speak for the offline right on account of the fact that I don't generally operate in that kind of circle anyways #all the reactionaries i've known have been young and californian enough that even irl they're distinctly of online casting
