Far Leftists have become just as unintelligible in their quips as MAGA.
You take a cursory glance at X (formally Twitter) and you would need twelve translators to help you figure out what exactly the MAGA commenters are saying. All you can glean from their dysfunctional gishgalloping comments is that they’re inspired by their racism.
But when I read far lefty loons on blue sky they use immature language like “The Banking Mafia took control of both parties.” I know what they’re trying to say, but WTF does that even mean??
And recently I happened upon your typical gritty Leftist Breadtuber (Left-leaning YouTuber who are self-proclaimed stewards of independent media). His name is Jeff Waldorf. He’s basically a dork. And he said something really wild that really raised my eyebrow. He said that wage theft is the worst kind of theft. Ok…now I can see the arguments that support his statement but then I think about car jackings and home invasions and human trafficking. And then I start to believe that “wage theft” may not be the worst kind of theft imaginable.

I hate the far left just as much as I hate MAGA. Far lefties think they are enlightened intellectual free thinkers when they’re really a bunch of social reject losers who found community by staying in internet circles surrounding greasy dumb fucks like Vaush.
They always talk down on anyone who isn’t overtly leftist like they have just yet to be enlightened. They’re too shallow to acknowledge any fair criticism of their own beliefs.
The whole concept of their “independent media” is just fucking dumb. Listening to a youtube channel is your media diet? You are literally listening to the MSM just filtered through an arm chair expert on the internet. The internet person can be guilty of all the same kinds of bias as the MSM but are really probably much worse and with less accountability.
They’ll tell you that they are just thinking for themselves and that they need to hear multiple perspectives so they can “analyze” the news for themselves, but it’s really, they are simple minded people who are easily manipulated by populist bullshit.
I am convinced this side of the left is two people. Upper middle class college kids who have 0 life experience. And people born into upper middle class homes who got a useless degree and now live in a lower social class than they were born into.
I really wish the Dems would send these people an ultimatum, condemn them for the public danger they are, and try to gain people who can be reasoned with.

I really hate how they try to pass themselves off as brave, speaking truth to power.
You guys go after Democrats because it’s safe, it’s like a rich kid cursing out their parents knowing full well they still get to sleep in the house. They even admitted a few months ago they didn’t protest at Trump rallies because they were scared of being hurt.

Yep it's been the same song-and-dance for how long.
"we need revolution/vigilante murder but someone else should do it." they say, and somehow still clinging to some imagined ideological legitimacy.
They have just a bunch of laughable cowardly bluster.

Agree, 100%!! Most of them are a bunch of entitled privileged whites trying to cosplay as working class activists

Both sides share very similar mindset of conspiratorial thinking and believes the establishment is personally out to destroy their side. Both suffer from the Dunning Kruger effect and the only way they get their politics known is through engaging in dumb culture wars

While I will always take issue with the "both sides" shit, I will say that extremists, no matter the political agenda, are terrible. Horseshoe theory is real, and we are seeing it.
It's especially telling when centrism is considered a bad thing.

Most simple explanation is the internet has made a lot of people dumb or exposed how many were all along.

u/No-Sort2889 Bernie would be far-right in Europe 2d ago
It’s given more avenues for dumb people to meet up. Before the internet, if dumb people wanted to get anywhere politically, they’d have to leave their rooms and get exposed to the world a little bit.
I’d argue this generally makes people less dumb, and it limits the audience demagoguery can reach.
Unfortunately today, you can sit in your basement all day and watch some greasy leftist dumb fuck with cheeto powder covering his fingers rave about how capitalism is rigging democracy against the working class.

I think it’s also the impact of social media bringing you to the stupidity. In the early days of the internet, the stupid conspiracies were there, but you had to find them. You had to join a private message board somewhere and contribute to be in the know.
Now, Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, all just feed it to you. The algorithms are INCREDIBLY effective at learning about you. Once you flirt with the stupid side of things, they throw that shit at you hard. Now, you’re deep into conspiracy mode. Basically everything you see fits into that.
/r/therewasanattempt is having a debate right now over whether United Healthcare is worse for society than the Nazi Party.

Yeah but hear me out. Republicans stopped caring about the Nazis and child predators that Trump appoints. I think it’s time that we stop trying to criticize the kooks on the far left since the right won’t even pretend to have standards.

A lot of the far left openly oppose Democrats and/or support MAGA tho

Then they are not far left. The hard off corporate boot licker is antithetical to Leftism.

u/namey-name-name 2d ago
The fuck are you on about? Plenty of the far left oppose democrats. In fact I’d say that’s kind of their whole deal a lot of the time. “Leftism” isn’t inherently a good thing, especially when it reaches the levels of illiberalism.

u/alpacinohairline Hitch Bitch 2d ago
I was talking about supporting MAGA because you included that in your “our”…
They are still “leftists” that voted democrat and understand that accelerationism is cancerous.

Those get kicked out of the far left and smeared as "LIBS" because they believe in electoralism. The far left will be the first to tell you how much they hate anyone who votes Dem and how they're enemies of the revolution.

According to leftists that makes them just as bad as the fascists. Trust me I tried to be conciliatory with the leftists, and they will inevitably spit in your face if you dont hate democrats as much as they do.
It's why they'll all end up being magas because their only overriding principle is owning the libs. They would burn down the planet and sacrifice all of our rights if it means they can stick it to the democrats. Don't try to look for deeper meaning in their narratives.

Letting the far left off the hook is just dangerous. Keep the whackjibs out.

So what? How has that helped us by attacking them? These so called moderates are indifferent to proud boys and Trumpism.
Why should we pander to them anymore?
Let’s just ignore them.

u/okan170 2d ago
They spend all their days attacking us and giving the right an easy strawman to paint the whole party with to moderates who see these jackoffs online confirming every worst fear.
They need to be ejected from the party, shunned at every chance and shut out of any platform. They are not part of progress, they stand to destroy it. Just as strongly as MAGA.
