>>81496828this is a huge component, i agree. i left the anti-state left (I was in an org that did some big stuff) primarily because of this kind of idiocy. I realized nobody was ACTUALLY interested in fixing the world, people only wanted to virtue signal and conform to the correct moral-speak.
The day it hit me, I looked around, and realized that they're a bunch of fucking pearl-clutchers on par with fundamentalist Christians from the 90s.
I was the only one who read history. I found actual, workable solutions. People were creeped out by me because I didn't give a shit about call-and-response slogans, and I was enthusiastic about doing outreach to conservatives since they're like HALF of the workers, right?
yeah. didn't go over well.
the far left in the US is just a bunch of fucking dupes for the dem party, and I have very strong suspicions that a couple of our "star" members who released a couple books that were the reason antifa took off in the US were government plants. I have my reasons for believing this. They were not subtle.
These days, I tend to think Kaczynski was right about a lot of things. I avoid politics like it's got black guy HIV though.
If you intend to get into politics to change things for the better: Don't.
