from what i can tell "post-left" is like an unholy combination of pseudo-academic smugness and acting like a bourgeois tourist of the militia movement. don't think they ever really "got it" while being on the left in a similar manner to the trot-neocon pipeline. for some its a phase, like anarchism, but i respect the anarchists more for spending their youth dumpster diving for smashed vegan garbage cakes

It seems like becoming something that literally everyone on the political spectrum has reason to hate

I remember, in what 2019, arguing with people that would literally say China is trying to colonize Hong Kong. To them saying that is like saying Washington is trying to colonize New York City, would just bounce off of them even as our became increasingly clear these were right wing protests.

Though one of my favorite things from last year during the mass protests, when people would say can't we just glue bricks to the road like in Hong Kong, and having to explain to them that worked because the Hong Kong police mostly used normal vehicles while US police departments break out military surplus that in theory would have no problem driving over it. Or how no one really thought about how the US crackdown was much harsher than the Chinese. Could you imagine if the Hong Kong police department had put a 70 year old man in the hospital for returning a Helmut to them, caught on video none the less, he'd be the new tank man

The Chinese police actually understand they exist to serve the state, American police believe the opposite

I can't tell if all this recent talk from GOP folks is because of the culture warriors becoming so big in the party they're overwritting the pro business bedrock at places, or if the GOP is just so comfortable in their power at this point to start trying to boss companies around to placate the culture warrior aspect.

Probably a bit of both but mostly the former, though I imagine a lot is corporations playing good cop and proceeding to do nothing about the bad things

The recent arc of Powerup Comix being a Jane Austen riff that's amazingly well recieved does make me ponder how we were brought up with an entire genre of basically middle-class aspiration even in settings where women basically can only hope that a guy who wants to gently caress them has money and won't beat them too hard, and that it's nearly impossible to read now mostly because upper middle class of the British Empire are the most tedious, dull and judgemental people ever to exist. (not that middle class ennui wasn't practically a genre around the 1800s, no wonder the revolutions had to put them out of their misery)

And it seems to have a lot in common with the liberal cult of credentialism, deifying those who (supposedly) climb the ladder and gain power and wealth through supposed legitimate means while gladly ignoring what that means for everyone they stepped on.

At the end of the day, leftists are children and the right hold the secrets of a perfect society; to finalize the end of history, the left must be disciplined and the right incorporated. That the right wants to murder the liberal is seen as an unresolved issue within the liberal state and not a deficiency or stain on the right.

Is this from somewhere, because it's way too accurate. Though it's basically 'the left are spoiled children who need to be abused into submission; the right is Daddy who needs to be appeased'.

like, why the gently caress would the Iranians do that if they know the US wants to topple their government?

Thing is about these people who are incredibly stupid, but think they're brilliant and everyone else is stupid

Like that one guy in the r/relationships thread that I can't find right now who was genuinely surprised and shocked that his girlfriend caught onto him pretending to have a job and wasn't fooled by him briefly showing a cable box and saying it was a laptop.
