    I despise this tendency of online lefties. What we’re up against is so huge and so faceless that they tend to just lash out at any little piece of it they can reach no matter what it is or even if that piece is victimized by that system too. Even if that piece they can reach is on their side. But they’ll dress it up in purity tests and how those people need to do better. It’s their fault actually.

    More of us need to keep in mind the words of the late Michael Brooks. “Be ruthless to systems, be kind to people.”

      a massive insecurity complex that creates a massive moral superiority complex, fueled by simplistic narratives that don’t reflect a complex reality and where reality is rejected in favor of a morally pure world where they are the only source of goodness and all other people are evil or enablers of evil. also being totally allergic to facts, common sense, and any possibility that they might be wrong.

      not any different than the MAGA supporters

      they are actually worse to each other than anyone else. constantly witch hunting for who is the most idealogical ‘pure’ and who is a ‘traitor’ to the cause. they are all mini-Trumps wannabes.

      Aren’t corporations people? And didn’t people decide to make corporations people?

      Which people do we need to be kind to? Which systems, that are also people, do we need to be ruthless to?

          It’s cute that you think that I was talking about just lefties when typically only idiotic right wingers buy that bullshit.

          Can you show me in my post where I used that term? I will also wait.

          Ah well, you’re trying at least…

            Honey, you responded to a comment talking about a tendency of “online lefties” that ended in saying “more of us” meaning lefties need to keep in mind the words of the late Michael Brooks, A LEFTIST COMMENTATOR.

            YOU might not have been talking about lefties, but the conversation you inserted yourself into was. So you walked into the Wendy’s and are getting mad that they won’t serve you a Crunchwrap Supreme. Fucking clown thought he ate with that. 🤣🤣🤣
