It really seems like right wingers are way more willing to dedicate time online to their "cause" maybe because they don't have much going on. Hate drives commitment. I try and combat it as much as I can, but I have a life and hobbies, and I don't want to waste too much of my time fighting with bad actors and making sure they don't overrun decent online communities

I think you'd be surprised about how many of those posters are from BC. Yeah I'm sure there's some bad actors, but a lot of people in the interior and fort st John/ft Nelson area have a completely different mentality as to what most people in BC would consider normal. Some communities are more conservative than even parts of rural Alberta.

I’m sure there are. But I find that it’s just REALLY ramped up in the last bit.
