I've never come across this "left wing/right wing" crap irl. People have differing views, opinions and outlooks and those frequently straddle several politidal leanings. But on GN, there appears to be extremely polemic views with some posters, ie if they're not agreed with, 100%, they're "others ". And it's funny that because the whole ethos of being left wing (to which I think I lean) is non exclusivity and certainly not "othering" on the grounds of sexuality, race, religion or any other sections of society.
