it’s fun when centrists complain about “the left” being mean to them online, completely disregarding this country’s 100+ years of specific persecution of communists and anarchists

The democratic party cannot fail it can only be failed should be a cliche you roll your eyes at but it really does seem to be a dogmatic belief among weird online Democrat deadender.
I have been assured by Democrats many times that that isn't real and didn't happen and oh these court documents don't prove anything and blah blah blah.
Unbelievable commitment to anti intellectualism and the cult of nonfalsifiae orthodoxy.
Had someone say this to me more or less verbatim and in complete earnestness today. The left is small and pathetic but somehow we posted so hard that we tipped the election and it's all our fault. They did not, however, promise to kiss the ring and give us whatever we want so they can win. Next time
Oh exactly. Many of them have gone full fash with barely a veneer of social progressivism left. Talking to some Dems is like an interactive checklist for ur fascism. The left did it, but is also powerless. Minorities screwed them because they're fifth columnists. Everything is a foreign plot by
A lot of them are bots/slaves. NPR did a story related to this, crypto scammers - who 100% go hand in hand with the political bots/alt right pipeline bots. You can ask them if they are slaves, sometimes they will admit it (at risk to themselves). Usually they go silent https://www.npr.org/2025/05/23/1253043749/pig-butchering-scam-crypto-tether
The entire friends group of these people are filled with centrists and conservatives. That's why they will only badmouth the people who they don't hangout with.
I want to know when it became liberal to shove your opinions down someone else's throat, because that's about as conservative of an approach as I can think of
If a leftist is kind of rude to them online they act like it’s the worst thing they’ve ever experienced, but if a MAGA is cheering at families being torn apart, lives being ruined, or someone dying, they’re silent.
Currently reading history of the IWW and if you merely thought one should not have to work over 8 hrs or before age 14 or for descent wages and voiced that opinion in a group of more than two ppl you were fucked. Like tarred and feathered or shot or deported out of state without your family fucked
ive seen some ""mean"" "dont be a nazi" leftist posts. but ive also seen some mean "your irredeemable and a monster" posts. leftists seem to be very okay with pushing people away from the cause for any sort of "infraction" as if most leftists arent reformed right wingers or grew up conservative
not centrists specifically but voting for trump, saying hateful things, stuff like that. telling someone whom you wish would change their views, that they are irredeemable, really doesnt give them any motivation. and yes, unfortunately being nice to people isnt enough for them in the beginning.
we shouldnt excuse what they do or say but we should let them know if they decide to change and wake up, that they will be, however warily, welcomed to the left with time. telling someone that no matter what they do they wont be welcomed to the left, doesnt make them want to change
uh no it doesnt. most people who are "supporting" it are only doing it because thats what they are told. you guys seem to think they are incapable of change as if there arent so many leftists who were in the alt right pipeline and have moved over to the left.
hey so that guy in the street supporting Israel out of fear or misplaced patriotism isnt really comparable to one of hitlers right hand men. its that kind of extremism that furthers a divide between people. your exactly the kind of person the rich and powerful want on the left
i dont think yall are willing to understand what im saying. i personally know people who have supported israel who have, since being educated, become leftists who fully support a free palestine. if you dont give people a chance to change, they wont.
We're a year and a half from October 8th, that's plenty of time to make up your mind about Israel. Cool if you change your mind about the Gaza genocide but I'm going to question your ability to rationalize and gather information
Pierce Morgan has admitted that he was wrong and that Israel is committing a genocide against the Palestinian people. I still think he's an irredeemable monster.
hey so if you want to dangerously dehumanize the people who do bad things, thats fine, but you need to realize thats what allows people like nazis to keep doing their thing. cuz all u gotta do is seperate an action from humanity then no one expects it anymore
Depends on if you get your data from poli scientists and white papers, or if you get it from the memes you see filtered to the top of your Facebook comments section.
i'll let you decide whether a white paper written by someone who has a phd in politics gives better analysis than the algo elon made to get you mad online.
engaging in maga level stupidity doesn't make you progressive, it makes you maga
It's the medium we use to communicate that influences how we speak to one another. It's really not that hard to figure out. It has nothing to do with politics. Snarkiness comes from all.
Maybe we should stop labeling people and accept those who think differently from you. Just maybe that could unify people instead of making them feel like the "others."
I an not saying not to find common ground where we can.
I'm saying that historically, attempts to unify people by ignoring differences in identity and beliefs tend to become attempts to eradicate anyone "different" in the name of unity and cohesion.
I’ve interacted with a broad spectrum of leftists on Bluesky from anarchists to Marxist Leninists, and none of them have been as needlessly abrasive as enthusiastic Harris supporters.
We have foreign governments using slaves making them pretend to be Dems/Harris supporters to piss ppl off btw. Not everyone you speak with is real. I have no issue talking to Dems irl like my local librarian.

You would think the Liberals would be begging us for help.
The left is both strong enough to destroy their plans and so weak we're not worth compromising with.
This weak/strong narrative has been used by many fascists.

Brilliant strategy, Bernie. Didn’t backfire at all.
At least he raised 500 million dollars thou, so the revolution could continue.
so yeah, this is from him. he started the trump 'rigged election' claim, and trump thanked him for it a dozen times
Dudes trying to sound political on the internet: Akshully my algo driven feed makes me feel otherwise, so wrong!!!
