1. La Crueldad y la Irracionalidad del Espectro Conservador.
La crítica más fuerte se dirige a los conservadores y la extrema derecha, a quienes se describe consistentemente como personas crueles, estúpidas, sociópatas y motivadas por el odio y el deseo de infligir sufrimiento.
- Folks keep looking for some deeper meaning behind the bigotry and cruelty of conservatives, but the reality is theyre just shitty people. Theres no hidden trauma, theyre not closeted, theyre just assholes.
- Conservatives want to hurt everyone why doss everyone want to hurt me? absolutely fucking deranged people.
- The fact that conservatives love cruelty for its own sake is so obvious and well documented that i have little respect for people who dont clock it straight away.
- Conservatism is inherently misogynistic and ideologically driven to destroy the future, so only the dumbest fucking women or young people support the party which hates them and is actively working to harm them.
- Right wingers are just bad people looking for more minorities to murder through state-sanctioned violence. This is all this is, yet again.
- The problem the new right has is that while the american people are shittier than liberals or progressives want them to be, they are not as shitty as the new right needs them to be.
2. Autocrítica y Disfunción en la Izquierda y el Progresismo.
Existe una frustración significativa dentro de la izquierda por el comportamiento de sus propios miembros, incluyendo la tendencia a la pureza ideológica, el sectarismo, la agresión y la desconexión con la realidad de la gente común.
- Leftists put their time and energy into attacking people for not believing 5 of what they believe rather than focusing on those who do not believe 95 of what they believe. Politics leftwing.
- I would say part of the problem is leftism doesnt always self police. The people who are leftist and not terrible resent being likened to the mass of assholes, but theres not really anything the rest of us can do about them at this point.
- Left wing bluesky posters will literally tell other people on the left to kill themselves rather than even vaguely consider anything that might deviate from their social-media-created orthodoxy.
- Sometimes, i feel like leftists dont live in the reality of the very people they try to advocate for.
- I hate that i have to share a political movement with people like that.
- My view in a nutshell im not trying to be funny but a lot of people i agree with politically are absolute assholes and i hate that for me.
3. Centrismo, Liberalismo y la Acusación de Ineficacia.
Los centristas y liberales son criticados por su supuesta ingenuidad, su incapacidad para enfrentarse a la derecha, su enfoque en el "status quo" y su tendencia a culpar a ambos extremos por igual, lo que se percibe como una traición a los principios progresistas.
- I dont understand people who call themselves a centrist. Its like proclaiming youre willfully uninformed, ignorant and stupid. A sociopath at best.
- Centrist fucking up democrats is the oldest trick in the book and it really needs to end. Stop letting these people drive the train aleady.
- When people are like i hate politics im a centrist that usually means they are still conservative.
- Liberals are truly a cancer. They willingly gave over everything, even their soul. Protests without demands. Complaints of the riffraff. A fixation with brunch. Fundamentally unserious people who have contempt for anyone breaking the illusion.
- The political centre has more hope about the compassion of far right to permit cooperate liberation with a clean conscience than they are willing to safeguard the basic needs of their own people.
- The liberal impulse to reflexively defend the honor of exploiters because people were mean to them will never not be enraging to me.
4. La Desconexión con la Realidad y la Búsqueda de Respuestas Fáciles.
Se reflexiona sobre cómo la gente común se relaciona con la política, a menudo buscando explicaciones simples, siendo susceptibles a la propaganda y priorizando la identidad sobre los principios, lo que dificulta el progreso.
- I think people need to stop stop thinking about right left center. People want to afford a house and groceries. And they want health care and their kids or have a good education on a safe environment fight for those things and win focusing on edges outside of that can be done after you win.
- The biggest ideological grouping is people who dont pay a ton of attention to politics and dont have strong ideological commitments.
- But ultimately i think, just, people love easy answers that abdicate them of any responsibility personally while giving them an all-expansive sin-eater for the evils of the world fascists do it, centrists do it, and alas, every clade of leftists does it too.
- The fact that there are people out there hoodwinked and brainwashed into thinking these right wing demagogues are on their side is one of the greatest failures of western civilisation in history.
- People are not in survival mode. Sure, once people realise that the right has exploited them, we get a left shift too, but you need to ride that wave into a good economy which then is redistributed to the people in various forms of social prosperity.
