There probably won't be a sea change at this point until the economy actually collapses, which will be caused by the sea change.

quote:That’s probably it. Around here, people tend to treat capitalism as a directed conspiracy instead of the organically occurring one that it actually is. There’s also this desire for a violent confrontation, which is dumb as gently caress because the left doesn’t actually win that one if it happens. At this point this thread mostly feels like a honey pot for people advocating violence. The way forward is what it has always been; advocating a real progressive platform of some kind with a strong messaging strategy. You know, politics.

Infinite Karma posted:In a serious suggestion, Progressives need the kind of spineless, shameless, manipulative liars that the Right has made part of their standard operating procedure. Not true believers who will throw themselves on pikes for the glorious revolution, but true believers who will take every advantage that is available. Don't just shine a light on the evils of racists and cops and prosecutors and billionaires and landlords and insurance companies and anti-LGBT organizations... fully fabricate lies about them that are even worse and more provocative. Ruin their lives with misinformation and libel and conspiracy theories. Apparently we live in a post-truth world, and there are literally no consequences for lying. It's the only weapon we have left that can actually affect the Right-wingers who have spent 40 years deconstructing worldwide democracy. This take hasn't gotten less boring since the previous 3,000 times a goon put it forward
