I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s selfishness hidden behind alleged “leftist ideals.” Things won’t be fixed in their lifetime, therefore they don’t want to participate in taking steps towards that goal. If they can’t have it in the next 10-20 years, the next generation can get fucked.
It’s centrists. They’re just the right-wingers who don’t want anyone to think they’re bad so they go “but I support minorities!” while doing basically nothing to actually help anyone ever because they’re scared of anything moving at any meaningful pace.
No, I don’t mean centrists. I mean Leftists who reject the concept of, “Never let perfect be the enemy of good.” They’re fewer than they think, but they’re loud and obnoxious all the same.
I wish we could explain to them that it actually feels really good to be doing something positive, substantive, and productive, never mind the end goal.

If I can’t have the thing, I would at least like to know that I made it possible that somebody else could.
