Obviously because it's not supposed to be about retarded diversions like gender and what color your hair is. It's about economics and freedoms like privacy, freedom of movement, the privatization and swallowing up of public property by corporations. It's about the digital manipulation culture and the degrading collective identity and the destruction of true individuals.

The left is not retard vegans and mentally ill art hoes. These are stupid diversions that don't matter. You were doomed to fail. You were the leftists Ted Kaczynski wrote about. use your head. Take it out of your ass

I miss the old left. R.I.P.

The old left liberals acrually stood up against the Iraq war and Obama's neocons.

Where are these supposedly sane leftists? They do a good job staying hidden. Hillary should have put them in charge of her emails.

Leftist is a derogatory word that has no value or meaning. I could say rightist too but I won't because it is worthless.

As soon as I saw 8 messages in my inbox I knew who it was.

You knew is good.

The old authentic left is sane. I post them often. Jimmy Dore, RJ Eskow, Richard Wolff, etc. They're too smart to support Killary.

They're drowned out by the bat-shit Corporate SJW Dem artificially manufactured so-called-left that's infiltrated and overrun with CIA assets.

I don't think the SJW left is manufactured. I think it's a natural outgrowth of where the left was always going to go. If you look at the starting conditions you can hardly be surprised by where they are now.

Say Wha?! How can you believe their absurdity is "natural" when the corporatocracy "owns" all the schools and of course the media that pumps out loser after loser of ridiculous agenda driven drivel. There's certainly no shortage of YouTube channels that perpetually deconstruct the insane agendas and how they're intentionally destroying franchises and destroying our "heroes" in order to prop up Mary Sues with bad writing.

As a former proud left guy, I can certainly tell you that progressivism was NEVER going to those absolute lunatic extremes naturally (and I fear they're going to take it still further).

From a starting position you can go anywhere. The left used to be left. Now much of Biden's shit is to the right of Trump (who was never hard right anyway).

What would you call the Soviet Union? They were a lunatic extreme and that was 100 years ago. This is how the left has been, ever since there was a political left. It was the same shit back then, words in favor of the workers while insane people carried their insane ideas to their natural conclusions.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Actually 100 years ago was not the worst. Yes it was extreme, taking down the Czar, having WWI and all that, but it got worse and really nuts after Lenin died. But you're talking about commies.

That's most certainly NOT what the political left has always been. Look at the origins of these:

Henry Wallace
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace

Wallace was possibly the best Democrat ever! Wallace was NOT a sell-out like Bernie, but was similarly ROBBED of his potential by the MIC lackey Truman who dropped the bombs after the Russian painter lady poisoned FDR so Truman could step in. Yes - fatal infighting among the left, like a couple decades later with JFK. There are the authentic left for the people - and the ruling class who own the right and want to control the left too. We don't have much authentic anymore.

But we were talking about the manufactured SJW left. Sure Russia has their movements now but as a state they're still generally anti-gay - 180 from here.

It's the same shit now too - for BOTH the left and the right: " words in favor of the workers while insane people carried their insane ideas to their natural conclusions "

The ruling class plays all who buy into their Machiavellian left-right paradigm shit.

The Bolsheviks did not take down the Czar. They overthrew a government that was going to lead Russia to democracy. Never forget this.

You keep fucking moving the goal posts.

I didn't say they did.

In 1917, 103 years ago communist revolutionaries took them out. I was correct: Russia had it's share of problems.

You blanket stated:

" What would you call the Soviet Union? They were a lunatic extreme and that was 100 years ago. This is how the left has been, ever since there was a political left. It was the same shit back then, words in favor of the workers while insane people carried their insane ideas to their natural conclusions. "

That left it wide open for interpretation and moved the discussion from the LEFT in the WEST to vaguely anti-Russia, anti-commie, and now anti-Bolshevik sentiment that you dredge up and fling around.

Either you don't understand the left or you refuse to, and either way you're deflecting to play these weird word games.

I know you can do better.

Maybe another time. I'm done for now.
