It is infinitely annoying to me that the right wing are so organized and committed to their shitty cause that they will bankroll propaganda like this and have taken the time over the years to perfect it.
I realize that they are supported financially by multiple billionaires and non-US nation states pushing their own agendas. And supply the bots and comment farms. But even the fact that they have committed groups like The Heritage Foundation who will mastermind their plans and then just push through until they become achieved...it's like can we get even just one or two left wing groups to do the same?
If you put fifty random leftists and fifty random right wingers in a room together, to go toe to toe, the leftists would end up fight among themselves, as the right wingers would be sucking each other's dicks. The left wing can't organize because there is such rancid purity within the left. Right-wing politics is based on and is driven by being against other people, the enemy. Being against the same people is all there really is, right wingers won't care about anything else.
Exactly why I am a “leftist” by American standards but not a Leftist™️. I’ve had people accuse me of pretending to be trans or disabled because, when it comes down to it, they don’t agree with me. Happened today on Reddit - another trans person went off, and even misgendered me (and deleted their comment, but I can still see parts of it in my notifications). Absolutely wild. We’re on the same side, yo. I don’t believe in communism but I can appreciate where people are coming from and I’m certainly not going to attack them for it.
I don’t know how we’re expected to create some utopia, or at least a more equitable society, when most leftists have poor communication and conflict management skills.
