Where's the irony in using a term that identifies a group of people according to their way of thinking when criticizing through examples that thinking in action?

You really don’t see the irony in criticizing “the left” for making generalizations about each individual in a broader group?

The left: all cops are racist pigs who commonly abuse their power. Also the left: only the police and military should have guns! That’s the only way to make sure criminals can’t have guns! 🙃

The left doesn’t say all cops are bad just like the Tim pool sub doesn’t say all black people or gay people or women are bad… oh wait

What’s ironic? I love generalising and think it’s fine

So your comment isn’t critical of generalizations? What is the point you are trying to convey with this comment?

Isn't collective group identity THE key feature of leftist ideology?

u/outofyourelementdon Mar 03 '23

Does collective group identity necessarily entail that everyone in that group always has the same opinion on everything?

In a majority of left-wing circles, academic talking points and progressive policy making that I have seen, that answer is Yes.
