I have been watching anti-leftist YouTube videos for pretty much as long as there have been anti-leftist YouTube videos in existence, which can probably be counted in the thousands, without any exaggeration.
Do you know how many such videos I have ever seen where the person making the video openly cries and moans and is extremely distressed about something that the "enemy" has done recently?
Not one. From the literally thousands of anti-leftist videos I have seen, I don't remember ever seeing even one single such video. If there exists such a video, I have not seen it.
Yet, when it comes to videos made by far-leftist activists, you can find plenty of those. Leftists openly crying, weeping and whining about yet another horrendous thing that "the far right" as done, and how this is the end of the world, and how the concentration camps and ovens are just around the corner. You can even find compilation videos of such leftist videos.
There's also another type of reaction that seems extremely common among the far left than their critics: Fits of extreme anger, screaming, and acting like a complete lunatic. While in this case it's more possible that such videos exist from the anti-left side, once again I don't remember seeing any examples.
While I do grant that at least some of those leftist videos are acted, ie. the person isn't actually honestly crying, and it's all just an act in order to garner views and sympathy (ie. "clout"), I am convinced that a good portion, probably even a majority, of such videos show genuine emotion rather than it being all just theatrics.
This just goes to show one of the major differences between far-leftists and their opponents: Far leftists either are, or become, extremely emotionally fragile. There's a kind of personality that makes people be more susceptible to the far-leftist ideology. A personality that's either very fragile, or easily becomes fragile due to indoctrination. It's also not only very fragile, but very narcissistic in that these people don't seem to shy away from filming themselves in this fragile emotional state (or, as mentioned, in some cases outright just acting like they are being emotionally fragile, which isn't exactly much better).
In contrast, most people who become anti-leftists tend to be a lot more stoic and not so drive by emotion. They tend to be more rational, and resort to logic and reason rather than emotion and feelings. Even when they do feel strong emotions they tend not to display it in public, especially not to garner some kind of sympathy or views. In general they prefer presenting rational arguments instead of crocodile tears.
That's not to say there aren't exceptions (especially on the left), but this seems to be a very common trend.
