If the Twitter/X thing teaches you one thing, let it be this: Twitter was a neoliberal place. Then Elon Musk made it into X, a fascist place. Once again, neoliberalism laid the foundations of fascism. But that’s not the (whole) lesson… Neoliberal folks are still using X, calling it Twitter to make themselves feel better, and pining for the good old days. And there’s the real lesson: When neoliberalism turns into fascism, neoliberals will adapt to life under fascism. Right, class dismissed.

    Honestly, the left spends more time trying to distance themselves from other leftists than they do helping their cause.

      If you see somebody talking like the one on the post and don’t distance yourself, it means you are a bad person.

          I strongly hold that “left” and “right” are propaganda labels to dumbfy the pubic discourse and make people less effective. But if you are really asking me, this is absolutely not a “left” problem.
