Yes, but the fact is there was such a difamation campaign on the left, that divorcing from the term seems super healthy.
Most people would agree with the majority of leftist principles, but will shun them immediately if you told them that's being the left.
[The right defames the "bottom"]
The rich have control of the narrative, I dont see how any social discourse will gain any traction. Sorry.
They control the online discourse.
We might have to leave the virtual social networks and start building real ones.
Came here to say this! No war but class war but the right (even the poor) just fucking love rich people.
(That's the left.)
Ancap colors and "not left or right" bs, there's a solid chance they're right wing
Black and yellow are good for signs because it's more noticeable for the human eye.
Absolutely, not saying they are an ancap, but the color combo + the message has some ancap stank on it
First we concede the word "libertarian", now we're just giving up noticeable signs?
Hey now, I'm doing my part to reclaim libertarian for the anarchists. I'm just saying, a lefty (especially libertarian left) wouldn't say they're "not left or right". Thats my primary point. The messaging smells like rand paul and the black and yellow just feels like a nod to ancaps moreso than "Black and yellow!!!! Ancap alert!!!!"
So, you're from the left. Learn some fucking theory and specifically the term "class solidarity"
LeArN sOmE tHeOrY!!!!!11! Piss off, this is the messaging that resonates with the people it needs to resonate with. You're not gonna get someone with a 5th grade reading level to study economic and political theory.
They do understand what it feels like to be shit on all day, they've just been duped into thinking that it's Lefties/Antifa/LGBT/PoC/ that's doing the shitting, when in reality they're all in the same sewer.
What happened to your capitalization there ?
A wise man once said, "I'm going to get to the bottom of this and I don't give a fuck if you're at the top."
That's Leftist, we count those!
Reminds me of Andrew Yang's "forward".
I love this. I'm so sick of people painting with a two color brush here in the US.
Yes, the right is fucking crazy and they need to be stopped first and foremost. But the "left" here is trash as well currently. Both sides fucked up, and I want something new to step up when the dust clears (if we're all still here after that).
The "left" in power here is just more left than the right, but still right of center.
Those on top will read that as "cumming."
You better be coming for me, say it.
