re intolerance of internal disagreement, it's frequently seen here when a left-leaning poster wants to say something slightly incongruent they'll preface it with a spiel about how they're a proper leftist, always have been, always will be blah blah, please don't kill me please don't cast me out of the leftist herd. The social dynamics are hilarious and unconducive to a rational debate.

When, at a Rand meetup, I came up with an argument that generalised Rand's trader principle to justify social welfare and taxation I didn't first have to say 'I am a true believer in Randism and shall never deviate from the loyal path of the divine Rand...' and nor did any of them shout at me for saying something that would completely demolish the right-wing tenor of Randian thought.

When the odd leftist turned up to a Rand meeting the leftie would inevitably start shouting once they got frustrated with the assembled company's refusal to genuflect before their principles.

I think you'll find it across the spectrum, but it also makes sense that the left, generally aiming to be more collectivist, will feature more people conscious of not upsetting the group.

Possibly, but the Americans are pretty harsh on anyone on their side taking shots at Trump. They're immediately branded a RINO and dismissed due to failing the purity test.

A few more problems with the X is secretly biased conspiracy theory:

When X was left they biased it Democrat - why would they do this if not because they expected unbiased twitter to end up right-wing dominated.

If it was revealed that Musk was cheating, he would lose a lot of the right's esteem.

It would be known among the hundreds of devs working on the platform and there would be considerable incentive to be the one to break the news.

The trick is to stop replying when it goes that way.

Yes, and the implications are deeper in that the privileged views are not just those held by the apparent majority but are themselves selected for by their fit for collectivism. Tracking the truth comes second. This is at the root of the right's greater comfort with the harsher facts of reality (facts don't care about your feelings).
