Let the alt right eat themselves, being an angry little lefty gives them the motivation to keep being fuckwits.
Trump's doing a great job in revealing why right wing politics sucks. Soaring wealth inequality, ballooning government debt, growing surveillance and authoritarianism etc
Let the alt right eat themselves, being an angry little lefty gives them the motivation to keep being fuckwits.
I heavily disagree with this line.
- They want power and capital. That's all the motivation they will ever need. As historical fascist and far-right regimes have shown, they will be fuckwits even after they exterminate the left wing. It has nothing to do with "angry little lefties" or their other scapegoats.
- Plenty of ways to combat the right without being angry, or little, or even lefty.
- This comment seems to advocate doing nothing and hoping this problem solves itself. No, I will not "let them be", sit back and hope they annihilate each other - this didn't happen with US neo-Nazis contradicting the Republican position. Nor has the cannibalistic Trump regime collapsed yet.

The US had most of this happen prior to Trump too - and then Trump still got elected twice with support from dozens of millions. And One Nation is receiving plenty of votes here and now despite the loud and proud clown show in the USA. Many people still support right wing politics despite it being so obviously against their material interests, so it's vital to help regular aussies become conscious of class politics. This problem does not solve itself - you and people you know need to help inform those you know about why the right won't help them, and need to wedge their fresh naive prospects - without being an "angry little lefty" of course. Even little casual actions will accumulate, like neutrally mentioning the news they haven't seen in their media channels.
I just encourage people to vote Labor. Voting records clearly show that Libs and One Nation vote against the working class, and if you don't like "woke" politics, don't worry about it because Labor doesn't engage in it.
Good to hear, and I hope people are receptive to the notion that Labor doesn't engage in "woke" politics, because media sources on the right try to insist that Labor do. And yes, the voting record is damning.

none if that matters though, as long as they are allowed to hate, laugh at and blame immigrants
Of good policies and critical thinking drove peoples voting habits they would not have voted for Trump... again
