Come on they are worse than red tribe, or grey tribe. This is a Neoliberal Gamer.
(I'm only joking here, some of my best friends are Gamers)
E: and remember how in r/ssc culture war is not allowed and how you should bring evidence. Guess that doesnt apply for claims that leftists make bad laws.
My grandparents came over from the Mushroom Kingdom with nothing but the clothes on their backs and dream of a world where they could 100% Mario Sunshine in peace, and I will not have you belittle the struggles of gamers.
reminds me of when jordan peterson was like ‘well in principle im not
against gay marriage but all the lefties pushing it make me suspicious’
or something like that
That’s honestly what I hate most about them. They never take responsibility for anything by, even their own opinions and beliefs. All of their biases or preferences are always someone else’s fault.
Serious question – is this a recent Twitter era distinction or has
this always been the case among socialists etc that they considered
themselves “leftists” and the typical democrat a “liberal”. I see this
constantly and it’s still a bit odd to me
I don’t totally understand what you mean by “philosophically
opposed.” Seems like there’s obvious overlap. Most socialists I saw on
Twitter voted for Biden.
People who live in a two-party system and can't wrap their heads around strategic voting just confuse me. Like it's somehow a mysterious concept you've never heard about? And you are an adult living in America?
How?
I just love when they spell out exactly what we’ve been accusing them
of for decades and are proud about it.
What do you even do as a critic at the point where your ideological
rivals are seeing the criticisms and just go like “haha actually,
yes”? When your opponents just flatly strive to destroy the
implicit assumption that they can be reasoned with, and they brag about
the fact?
> What do you even do as a critic
You create a place where you point and laugh a them, and you dont engage. Could even make it into a club, bonus points if you manage to name it after some ridiculous accusations they made, and this causes them to overreact even more.
Welcome to MostEvilistBulliesClub.
Or you go full marxbro/darwin9000 and keep explaining basic concepts to people who pretend to not get them. (E: I mean you can both succeed at culture war turing tests and fail to understand the concepts)
Should I be buying “leftism offsets” when I donate to an organization
like that, then? After all, I like to counteract the negative
externalities of my actions when I can’t simply avoid them.
It seems like important work, but it’s hard not to feel a sense of
futility when the best thing they can say about their top recommendation
is they proposed a program that was ultimately cut from a bill that’s
not going to pass.
Also,

Some intensely dumb people in the comments:

lmao
Sometimes I think no one on earth knows what “leftist” actually means.
