It's when left is against some thing right did but alows left for doing the same thing. It's also when right is against some thing left did but ok if it was done by a right.
Also if a left becomes a right or a right becomes a left, that will not equal a good or bad, but a super bad or super good.
Hope that clears it up.
Thanks. All the other explanations were pretty confusing.

A growing number of accounts on Jason Miller's new right-wing "Gettr" site posting "Sonic the Hedgehog furry porn" are being banned from the platform -- and now there is a push among leftist users to argue that "furry porn is protected under the first amendment."
I don't do social media, but if I did I would be tempted to go on Gettr and start posting Onion style praises of Nazis to see how many idiots would bite.

Just weeks after its launch, the pro-Trump social network GETTR is inundated with terrorist propaganda spread by supporters of Islamic State, according to a POLITICO review of online activity on the fledgling platform.

The social network — started a month ago by members of former President Donald Trump’s inner circle — features reams of jihadi-related material, including graphic videos of beheadings, viral memes that promote violence against the West and even memes of a militant executing Trump in an orange jumpsuit similar to those used in Guantanamo Bay.

The rapid proliferation of such material is placing GETTR in the awkward position of providing a safe haven for jihadi extremists online as it attempts to establish itself as a free speech MAGA-alternative to sites like Facebook and Twitter.
It's almost as if people are the problem.
