the reason us leftist fight so much is because we’re the only ones willing to give eachother the conversation
That is interesting. I’d not considered that but it does sort of make sense. For years I tried to talk to my conservative parents, friends, and family about this stuff. I don’t think they ever listened, truly.
Yeah I know what you mean. Sucks too when they call themselves liberals but are conservatives in practice, they live in a very comfortable little box thanks to their paychecks, so they have no reason or need to think about the problems because “The markets are better than ever, it’s working well for me, I need to work with it to feed my family.” Historically, it’s always those people who turn coat and turn reporter for the fascists to save their own skin. Hence my statement that if you choose your comfort and paycheck over resisting against tyranny then you’re part of the problem (the royal you, not you in particular.)
