    leftists in general are correct (anarchists and communists alike), a lot of libs are bothered by that.

    i think this is the main reason, regardless of how annoying the specific terminally online individual might be.

      there’s also difference between being correct and being effective. right wing propaganda machines program people to exist in binaries and young leftists, new initiates i mean, have to break out of that. they have to learn to listen to the problems people are experiencing and talk about how to address those problems rather than fixating on an us/them dichotomy

      Have you considered that if leftists are correct, conservatives are too, and that it’s merely a matter of perspective? It seems as though your consideration of libs being bothered may be a case of projection as it bothers you that other perspectives may be worthy of consideration as well.

        Yeah. Maybe should cease being played into being against each other.

        No more falling for the terror psyop of each being out to take away your freedoms. Cui bono.

        leftists are correct, fascists are wrong. it’s just a matter of accepting it. fuck their murderous perspective because it is making most of our lives objectively worse.

        no sane society would even consider letting them take it to their final consequences. let’s see how ours will do.

          I think I agree with you, I was merely trying to point out that not all conservatives are fascists. Thinking that way leads to a superiority complex in leftists that may ultimately turn themselves into fascists too.

            conservative is an euphemism for fascist at this point. especially on 2025 political climate.

            i mean… hating gays, hating leftists, hating immigrants for no good reason and wanting completely deregulated capitalism with a sprinkle of christian fundamentalism and mysogyny and so much nationalism its weird?

              I’m not much of a conservative, so no need to try to bait me 😂

              But if that was not your intention, carry on!

                i didn’t intend this as bait, conservatives do build these euphemisms even for themselves.

                although liberals can lean right, if i had to guess i’d say you are more on the liberal side instead of straight up conservative or fascist.
