I got pushed from centre-left to pretty decently left over the course of the pandemic due to like… actual real world issues like rampant consumer capitalism, environmental degradation, and climate change, which conservatives obviously don’t give a shit about, and because they’re capitalists, neither do Liberals for the most part. Then having too much time to spend online because of multiple closure extensions for my job started pushing me back toward the centre when I started reading that “you can’t call yourself a Leftist if you disagree with ANYTHING I say!!”

actual real world issues like rampant consumer capitalism, environmental degradation, and climate change,

Are you me?

I've always felt this way. Leftists are interested in consuming pop culture, identity politics, and transgender issues.

They don't give a crap about class either, which makes me think they're from middle to upper class backgrounds, and have never struggled.
