If I tell you to fuck yourself with a rake, which ideas am I challenging?
Sometimes people say shit that’s just awful. There’s not some grand philosophical debate to be had. They’re acting badly and being called out on it. Don’t treat a blanket term for their miserable behavior into a fnord you’ll automatically judge as positive and one-sided.
I’m not getting baited into finding out this instance’s boundaries, just to prove mere insults can extend beyond what you consider tolerable. You know damn well there are words that would cut you. Most of them aren’t challenging anything besides basic human decency. I could guess your cultural background, and politely describe an alarming variety of archaic prejudices, phrased artfully to wind up anyone who’s not feigning indifference to avoid admitting they were simply wrong.
There are probably people out there who think you should not be allowed to vote, or breed, or live.
When those assholes express these beliefs, calling them assholes and demanding they fuck right off with that shit is not somehow a contradiction. It is not any definition of conservative. It’s having standards. It’s what led you to comment with confusion about your nonsense definitions - the response to this article challenged what you think “offensive” means, and you refused to just look it up and check.
Your understanding of left and right is total fucking nonsense.
You don’t even know what being offended means. If I say some rude shit, and you find that morally objectionable… that’s what offense is. Look it up and check. If the things I tell you make you think less of me as a person, or cause you to label me a douchebag, or just annoy you to the point you stop listening, that’s what being offended is, genius.
It doesn’t mean you’re less open to having your mind opened or whateverthefuck hippie horseshit you think makes you an anarchist. It doesn’t mean my vulgar condemnation of your whole deal was a meaningful criticism. It also doesn’t mean my vulgar condemnation of your whole deal wasn’t a meaningful criticism. I’ve said some blunt shit to people that they desperately needed to hear. Case in point.
Calling awful shit awful is not what being conservative means, and if you cannot refute that notion beyond repeating your conclusions, then what you’re doing is trolling and you need to fucking stop.

There is a difference between stating your thoughts/opinions then people being offended vs saying something that you know is offensive (which the headline indicates is the case) then people being offended. The former may challenge beliefs, while the latter likely lacks that line of thought. You may be mischaracterizing all instances of offense as challenging ideas when some may just be hurtful for the sake of being hurtful.
I’m not sure why you think *all *left-wing people don’t care about being called names, or why that would be a trait of left-wing people specifically. It just seems like an overly generalized statement about a group based on your personal experience.
If you’re offended by something then it means your ideas are challenged which left wingers like/support
If someone just calls you a name then left wingers don’t care. We might form an opinion of the person based on it but we don’t find it offensive

None, so I’m not offended

I’m a leftist, I’m not going to get offended by insults
I might not like you for it but I’m not going to be offended (see other comment)

Go and call me a faggot, it seems you want to
It matters not to me because I will just see you as someone whom calls other’s faggots
No being offended is a feeling of anger or resentment; frustration
It’s an emotional response
