We are killing ourselfs

Without mincing words, this subreddit is wrong, not because it's inherently wrong, but because it's just another way to divide people into groups that hate each other to increase the power of individuals who are labeled as "representatives" of an ideology that perhaps many people disapprove of. However, they find themselves dragged under that label because it must have a political orientation, otherwise they will be seen as a stupid mass-fodder by both sides. The right and the left have created two common enemies: for the left, they are Nazis and Fascists; for the right, they are Communists and Socialists. And the more one side hates the other's common enemy, the more the other side will want to be represented that way, changing its identity only to oppose its political enemy. No, you're not a communist, no, you're not a Nazi, but you simply hate your opposing political ideology, and you call yourself that even if you don't follow the ideology. It's enough to represent yourself as the best in a debate to win, like dividing yourself into beautiful and ugly, or stupid and intelligent, to win, because the opposing side, usually devoid of people who truly follow a critical thought, will respond in the same way, thus only making political propaganda that increasingly kills the unity between people, reducing us to our political idea, because personal power is seen as inferior to that of a party, and because politics is nothing but a diabolical weapon that man has pointed at himself for centuries.
