So you basically say: A platform where a lot of radical right people are is full of hate and verbal violence, whereas where the radical lefts are it is nice and peaceful? Shouldn't that give you something to think about ;)?

The comment you replied to didn't say either of those things. Shouldn't the fact that you inserted "hate" and "verbal violence" into their comment give you something to think about ;)?
Remember the well-known interview [1] between Jordan Peterson and Cathy Newman? If not you may want to have a look at it to see where she went wrong by using that 'so you are saying that ...' construction you employ here in the same erroneous way. No, that is not what he said, at all. In a debate you should engage your actual opponent instead of your own projection of that opponent to avoid situations like this one.

Wow - that's such a sad interview. Thanks for sharing.

A good reminder, that I should never post something, when I'm in bad mood. Maybe I just wanted to misunderstand, I don't know. Anyways I apologise my too aggressive words and my implications. Thanks to the commenters to point that out.
