  • So this is why people don’t like your comment:

    • It’s vague. You’re not actually taking a specific stance on anything; you’re just vaguely complaining about “things” that the left will not address, and “stubbornness”, so that someone can fill in the gaps with something it would be reasonable to complain about.

    • It has the appearance of someone conflating “Leftism” with “The Democratic Party of the United States.” That’s generally bad form.

    • The context of this post is a worldwide rise in right-wing views, so the above point is even worse than normal. Whatever issue you’re thinking of (which we don’t know, because you’re not actually taking a position, per the first point), it’s possible it isn’t associated with Leftism outside of the US at all.

    No one can tell you that you’re wrong if you never actually make a specific claim, right?








  • THIS is a ‘real problem‘? A fraction of women who are hating trans? How’s this different from those women who are punching down on trans

    Sorry wait… your question is about two actions

    A) punching down on trans people

    B) calling out other oppressed people who punch down on trans people

    … and your question is about how these two actions are different?

    There’s a difference between A) ignoring the opinions of a particular fascist and B) ignoring a year-over-year increase in the population of people openly expressing fascist opinions.

    It’s kind of like a tumor. As inconvenient as it might be, if it’s not hurting you worse than the surgery to remove it, then you should ignore it. If it starts growing, however… you probably shouldn’t ignore that.


  • the modern American use of “liberal” as a synonym for the progressive left… but word usages change

    Modern American civics education is, on average, basically non-existent. All changes in word usage trends toward less nuance, greater redundancy, and greater ambiguity.

    And that’s fine, I guess, because Descriptivism or whatever. But in the event that moderately educated people use the terms “Liberal” or “Leftist”, it’s probably okay to assume the formal meanings.

    makes references to the “liberal media” confusing."

    You seem to not be that confused, since you correctly pointed out that these companies are owned by conservatives.
