#left*

The left SUCKS at recruiting people. And so many of you are part of the problem.

The talk about centrists and moderates being the literal devil I see constantly in online leftist spaces is one great example of the left's failure. Yes, it sucks when the people don't see how horrible the right is. But centrists are some of the most open people to discussion- and some already lean left!!

You can't demonize moderates to such an extent that you close yourself off to them and then wonder why you're losing swing states.

Centrists aren't even always people with all the privileges- you will find plenty of people who are part of marginalized groups who are concerned about politicians on all sides.

You can be a smol radical leftist bean all you want who only talks to other smol socialist and communist beans, but you're never going to make the difference you want to in the world that way. It's the cold, hard truth. It doesn't mean you have to engage in discourse with everyone- some people have no real hope of changing and are emotionally draining- just more than your bubble.

I am tired of the left eating itself alive and deranged people like Trump winning.

sharing this one again because of the presidential election in the U.S

I'm so done with the divide.

Left, Right, Moderate,

Far Left, Far Right, Center,

Liberal, Traditional,

Progressive, Conservative,

Pro Life, Pro Choice,

Religious, Secular,

Queer, Straight,

Pro This, Pro That,

Anti This, Anti That,

"You can't follow this person, you can't be friends with that person, if you even just share a space with a person from "the wrong side" you are part of the problem"

I'm done

I'm a human who cares about humans

I'm a human who feels sick and tired of these labels that truly tell you nothing about a person.

Not who a person really truly is.

I'm a human who would like to live in peace.

I'm just a human

Remember that part of the purpose of propaganda is to convince you that you're helpless, and it's working, even on people who seem immune to other forms of propaganda. Like, I saw a post that was such a blatant violation of tenant's rights, that any mention of those rights existing or the ability to sue would probably cause the landlord to back down. But people were telling OP she shouldn't try anything because it's impossible for capitalists to lose in courts. Like, you realize you're running capitalism's propaganda wing for them?

If your position is that small scale resistance is useless because capitalists always win under our system, that incremental change is useless because democracy isn't real, and that revolution is useless because capitalists are too strong, then your "leftist theory" is capitalist propaganda.

If the economy NEEDS workers working in degrading, dehumanizing, dangerous jobs where they have very little power, then you need to get a different economy. Any world that relies upon the exploitation and abuse of the workers needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt. We can make a society where no one has to work a job that’s physically, mentally, spiritually, socially, emotionally, or environmentally unhealthy or unsafe for them. We need to create that society.

I think any American that reasons themselves a leftist (anarchist, communist, whatever) needs to get out and feed the homeless and the poor. Not even often it can be like once a month (tho often is good), because you gotta actually get out there and help your community and it humanizes the people on the streets and you actually see what it's all about, saving your fellow man.

this is literally the worst thing that could have happened: someone even ATTEMPTING to shoot trump. do yall realize how much this is going to further the right wing to go further right in response? how much MORE hatred is being generated towards the left/each other in general? how absolutely horrible this is for any chance at a less polarized america? i hate trump with intensity, but this is the second best thing that’s happened to trump for this election, second only to biden still in the running.

Okay so i recently started doing dissections in my biology class and if you’ve ever done a dissection you know that you have to flip the left and right because you are facing the specimen, which leads me to a head canon:

Scully constantly gets her left and right confused. Not when shes autopsying, thats the only time she actually knows it, but shes terrible at giving and taking directions. She’ll look at a map and tell Mulder to turn right only to realize three miles later that they were supposed to go left. Mulder will tell her the paper she’s looking for is in the pile on her left and she only looks in the right stack 1 in 3 times

Sorry but if your ideology is "I will force you to work regardless and if you don't work you won't eat" I will burn your cities to the ground

“Noa Argamani was treated well!”

She was kept as a hostage slave in a wealthy family’s apartment, forced to clean it whenever they knocked without warning, for EIGHT MONTHS. Just because they fed her does not mean she wasn’t a hostage and a slave. Her mother also has terminal cancer and was afraid she was never going to see her again.

If you start justifying human rights abuses against women, Jews, and Asians (she is half Chinese) because they are Israeli, you were never against antisemitism, misogyny, or wanted to stop Asian hate.

You can support both Palestinian and Israeli civilian lives.

Don't trust any "leftism" that treats working as moral and not working as immoral. Definitely don't trust "leftism" that wants to give extra rights or privileges to people who work "more"/"harder"/"at all". It's based in very Christan and very capitalist ideas that will be used to take away people's rights, it is not real leftism, it is trying to use leftist structures to create a more efficient version of capitalist ideals of 'work or starve' wage slavery. It will also always arbitrarily divide work into "real work", or "fake work" based on arbitrary and often very conservative standards.

Actual leftism must be based on the idea that you have a right to exist without having to prove you provide something for society. If you don't have a right to be a complete burden on society then you don't have rights at all.

Also, it's just a known fact that people will work without anything forcing them to.
