More big “we had to fund, enable, and sane wash fascism b.c. the leftist wanted trans people to be alive” energy from the EA crowd. We really overplayed our hand with the extremist positions of Kamala fuckin Harris fellas, they had no choice but to vote for the nazis.
(repost since from that awkward time on Sunday before the new weekly thread)
I hate this position so much, claiming that it's because "the left" wanted "too much". That's not only morally bankrupt, it's factually wrong too. And also ignorant of historical examples. It's lazy and rotten thinking all the way through.
There's so much to hate with this, but for some reason what really irks me is the "overplayed their hand" b.c. she was a poker player so she has to view all human interaction through the lens of gAmE tHeOrY instead of, you know, believing people should have human rights.
Like you just know in a parallel universe she's yapping about how "the West has fallen b.c. leftist pushed their pawns too far" or "I have to vote for elon for president b.c. the left's clerics exhausted all their healing mana"
At least set the start of "Western society solidity" at 1989...
I keep forgetting so many people online are very, very young.
Big chance this person is <25 and this is just the reactionary yearning for a better past that never was. Also interesting how they always blame the 'Left', and not just somebody like Reagan who had actual power, actually caused a measurable shift etc. (Not saying it was great before him, I wasnt there in time and place) But nope popular culture controls the world. Thanks cartoon Obama.
I checked out their profile. the person is (one of?) the host(s?) of this trash
Ah yes one of those great ideas to change the world by changing nothing podcasts.
