Former/cancelled leftists, do you worry about getting kicked out of rightist spaces in the same way?

We've all heard at least one story of one person who described themselves as firmly on the left, but then violated the group moral codes by not having the correct opinion on things like trans, immigration, whatever subject where non far left opinions are taken as proof of Nazism. Those with those incorrect opinions then get booted out of their leftist social circles and become social pariahs, often leading them to become better acquainted with or even welcomed by those who lean more to the right.

TERFS, Queers, Non-whites who earned leftist's ire I would love to know, are there any topics that you feel afraid to talk about or approach in right leaning spaces for fear of the same ostracisation you experienced on the left?

No, because learning that to some people treat opinions more highly than fact has simply taught me to ignore them.

Some of those people are on the left, some on the right, some are apolitical and some are just plain crazy. In all cases (and the nuance between), you tune them out and stick to logic.

But then I do like a good argument.
 
In my experience, leftists will call for blood the moment you step off of the approved pathway of thought and opinion. Righties might insult you, berate you, make you feel like an idiot and dismiss you as a person but there's a distinct difference: people on the right often try to set me straight before defaulting to mental retardation. Lefties skip all of the reasoning and discussion and go straight to calling you a nazi and bringing in the thought police.
 
No, because I'm only capable of existing on social media where it's borderline impossible to be banned (like KF) anyway. Conservatives can reject me all they want because I'm not trying to be a part of their group. Modern liberals would also reject me for being logical instead of sensitive. I refuse to suspend my critical thinking for groupthink from any source, whether it's the faggots from the Christ cult or the faggots from the queer cult.

That's been the biggest difference I've seen between the two.

Righties come in two forms:
1) Righties like Ben Shapiro and Majorie Taylor-Greene love to think they are smarter than they are and challenge you to "debate them in real life and not online and see what happens."
2) Righties that love to watch you post so they can call you a stupid retarded faggot.

Lefties want to wipe any wrongthink off the face of the Earth, then act surprised when wrongthinkers congregate somewhere else. They legit act like if you get kicked off Twitter you no longer exist.
 
Short answer: "no"

Online communities are all equally retarded, it's just that big tech is run by leftwing retards.

But the key word is online. You might just end up agreeing to disagree with conservatives, whereas that will get you black listed in some lefties spaces. Lefties generally are more paranoid about right wing infiltrators trying to spread dissent, hence why they are more likely to ban "trouble makers". Ironically this creates echo chambers and ensures that they become even less electable

Lefties need ideological purity for their big societal changes to be implemented. So they will even jump down your throat if you partially support their ideas. They use this to justify the mass trashing of people once considered allies.

Mainstream conservativism is the movement trying to build a coalition since their ideas just revolve around slightly altering the status quo. I do find that way too many conservatives just suck off the modern system without asking for feasible change, and are just satisfied when their government lowers the numbers of refugees coming in.
 
I consider myself left-leaning, but a batshit crazy vocal minority does make the right seem more welcoming of differing opinions. Hell, they’re obnoxious enough to make me root for someone like Trump, who I didn’t even like in the first place.
