        No. I want the left to be united and successful. But I’m done with how oblivious so many of you are to how ineffective and useless you all are. I’m tired of watching so many opportunities go by year after year while you all waste it by trying to be the next PETA. I’m blaming the left for the reason the right have succeeded. The left have made themselves so aggressive and abrasive to the general public that it’s alienated then further and further from pop culture. I’ve watched the left to form a dominant position to the weakest and it was from our own actions. I’m done fucking sugar coating it. The left is cooked until they wake up

          Probably shouldn’t accuse everyone who disagrees with you of being a shill then. Especially if you’re going to cry and moan when you get it back at you in return.

          You mean like coming in and accusing everyone of being secret right wingers?

          What? Are you hundred years old? No you fucking didn’t.

            The left dominated media and culture as a result of that. They had Hollywood and literature. Science wasn’t some taboo subject. The left dominated the Internet. They were early adopters of technology and creators of many things. Right wing people really were getting phased out. It wasn’t acceptable to publicly be a racist or even sexist or want to end social programs or destroy democracy.

            Then the left turned. They started succeeding these areas and allowing the right to control the space. I watched every comment section get filled with Lefty’s telling others to not roll with pigs and just let the right spew their bullshit. I watched Lefty’s take massive momentum and channel it into a public street so that momentum could get their shit kicked in by police. I watched people take over cities and end up arguing if they should click or clap what consensus really involved rather than getting shit done. I watched as climate conscious people told others to deflate tires of random people going to work and then wonder why their cause is alienated from the general public. I’ve watched the left turn into hostile, toxic, uninformed, ineffective luddites.

            The right took over and used basic common sense Media and public relations concepts to become more and more palatable while the left lost it all. And they still don’t realize this. Forming a mob and blocking traffic or yelling at people at cafes or burning small business is not a good look especially when the goal is not clear. We all know there’s agent provocateurs amongst these protests. Has anyone thought about countering or exposing them before organizing this stuff? No right, they just show up and go to town then act surprised every time. It’s nuts.

            Remember that feeling when Democrats showed up with those cardboard signs. When you saw that were you like “aww they’re trying their best maybe next time guys” or were you like “I’m fucking done with these people”

            Because that’s where I am with much of the left. Until the left wakes up, we’re getting what we deserve for becoming complacent and ineffective.

              No they fucking didn’t. Jesus, how are people both completely ignorant and arrogant at the same time

                You’re not an honest person. Nothing to say to you anymore. Denying that point is just being a child at this point.

                  “if you don’t automatically agree with my objectively false claim, you’re not an honest person and you’re a child!”

                  You’re a fucking moron
