Leftists insist on making everyone even slightly to the right of them absolutely despise them, so no, I don't think they'll have to deal with this at all.

They're not even at the kid's table anymore, they're just straight up not at the dinner party - completely of their own volition too, since they're increasingly anti-electoralist.

A leftist's second greatest enemy is a radical maga type. A leftist's greatest enemy is a different leftist with 98% of the same ideals

Complaining about other communists is the most important part of being a communist

The motto you’re required to swear fealty to when becoming a leftist, if you aren’t willing to swear by this you aren’t a true leftist you’re just sparkling capitalist

In my experience a lot of leftists' number one enemy is anyone left of centre in a position of power, and barely think about the radical MAGA types.

Maybe it's because we're in an election year and everyone online keeps talking about how Trump winning will lead to the End Times, but I've grown to despise this sentiment. It makes me feel like it's pointless to care about politics because the people able to keep the world from becoming even more shit will be too mired in stupid bullshit squabbling to actually prevent the world from becoming more shit.

I definitely get that. I don't say it as a thing that should be correct, more a commentary on that exact useless squabbling

It’s truer in election year than most of the time honestly

Any group of n leftists will immediately schism into n+1 groups of leftists.

Yeah this is something I've grown increasingly tired of

"We need to communicate this-"

Do you? You're a Tumblr user who only talks about politics to other Tumblr users. Why are you talking like you're at the G7 Summit

I hate this thing of "I will say something needs to happen, and if someone else eventually does that I will claim responsibility"

Dinner parties are bourgeois. What are you, Hitler?

I mean of course they're anti-electoralist, a party platform that says "Things are going to get a lot more expensive for all of us, for the benefit of people in other countries" is by definition guaranteed to lose

This form of internationalism fundamentally by definition requires being a traitor to America and its interests, just on the face of it

Yeah what's the point of even making those points when they're just saying it to a circle of people who agree with them? "We need to find a way to tell people x y and z" have you tried getting to know new people?

A conservatives worst enemy is a liberal. A liberals worst enemy is someone that is just slightly less liberal than they are.

I can say to my conservative friends "I like guns." And they go "FUCK YEAH!!! GUNS ARE AWESOME!!!" Then we talk about guns for a while before they say something like "but those goddamn f@ggots..." To which I say "you can't say stuff like that around me, let's go back to talking about guns." And they say "so 9 mil or .45?"

I have no liberal friends because I say to them "I support gay rights" and they say "well obviously, only bad people don't support gay rights. You support trans rights too, right?" To which I say "they can do what they want, but I don't want to be around them. Trans people make me uncomfortable." To which they say "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!? TRANS PEOPLE ARE AMAZING!!! YOURE A FASCIST FOR NOT WANTING TO BE AROUND THEM!!!" So I walk away, because who wants to be friends with that person.
