I'm left-wing but seeing protests made me support a genocide.
My dude. You're not left-wing just because you don't vote for Trump
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

So this guy was fine with Oct 07. but some baby zoomers protesting at Columbia is what pushed him over? Come on idf, you can do better
At this point, there needs to be a basic leftist test that issues a printable license to those who pass.
Questions:
Oversimplifications aside, I genuinely can no longer take one's self-identification as a leftist seriously. It's been like this for a while, but so many "leftists" have shown themselves to be lying in such instances as the post above, and they continue to do so.
I support capitalism. That means prejudice against capital right?????
This is exactly why I support monarchism.
You just lathed "capitalphobia" into existence
Good
- Do you support capitalism?
No, of course not! I think that the ultrawealthy should pay their fair share of taxes.
- Do you support reactionary thought?
Like Donald "Orange Man" Drumph? Lol of course not. I'm not an authoritarian!
- Do you support imperialism and genocide?
Never! I oppose Russia's eternal imperialism against Ukraine, and Chinas genocide against the Uyghurs.
Yeah no, it feels like we're so far gone that liberals won't even agree to the same definitions of very key concepts.
I'm as left as they come but should the poors just die in the streets?
NPR type beat
hue and cry over 7/10
Liberal status: scratched
There were a couple of people from the old sub who flipped from lecturing me about proper ML doctrine to becoming ardent zionists and neocons. Which is why I will never ever accept any criticism from any of you, and consider myself doctrinally perfect.
Fuck man I guess this was literally a wild trotsky. Good observation
I say agitate these people and let them speak. Translate their words into as many languages as possible. The global majority already sees the truth about Israel. They are not a self sufficient "nation" and they will not survive being the paraiah they have become.
