Well, yeah, sure, we can pretend that's what parent was saying, or maybe the top comment could just bother actually providing said anecdotal evidence. Saying you have anecdotal evidence is not the same thing as providing anecdotal evidence. Nothing is even communicated by just vaguely gesturing at all of the poor melty peaches except that you spend far too many hours on YouTube, and on one specific region of YouTube in particular. Nobody can interact with your anecdotal evidence if you haven't actually said what your anecdotal evidence is.

Edit: It's worth noting that when the commenter actually did name the examples they were thinking of, it was entirely related to right-wing YouTube personalities, so it looks like I was on to something there.

Right wing is a legit political stance. If you want to see what world would look like without people with political views differing yours, my woke comrade, move to North Korea or Eastern Europe circa 1948-1989. You'll see what an amazing world leftist-only ideologies create. Especially when you won't be able to study at university because one of your parents is not member of the Party and listens to Free Europe.

Forwards, left and not a step back! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLAAprIN6S4

Misinformation and calls to violence (we'll apply the 2nd amendment to them) is not a legitimate political stance. Politics is debating the merits of a progressive tax system, for example. Politics is not calling for violence toward your political opponents and their supporters or arguing that the world is flat or interfering with the function of the organs of government.

Which is not limited to the right

> we'll apply the 2nd amendment to them

What does it have to do with anything? Radicals from the Left are very pro 2nd amendment too by the way.

> Politics is debating the merits of a progressive tax system, for example. Politics is not calling for violence toward your political opponents and their supporters or arguing that the world is flat or interfering with the function of the organs of government.

Politics are simply the way people govern or are governed for better or for worse. "Politics is not what I consider evil" is a great political slogan but also doesn't make sense outside your own personal values.
