    Just calling everyone to your left a conservative without actually engaging with the ideas presented isn’t a very effective strategy for accomplishing whatever it is you want to.

      Nobody has presented anything other than calling me a bot. The .ml instance is corrupted by something that stinks. I think most other instances rightly call it out for this. It’s clear just from the tone and rhetoric when the instance is a .ml just like when dealing with a trump supporter.

        This is clearly a leftist meme advocating people read Marx, and you’re here acting like communists are right-wingers. It’s bad-faith, and is what is getting you called out.

          Yea? Give it time. This will be the next hill. Use the fringe left and far right to burn the constitution so trump can get whatever he wants even another term.

            If the fringe left is really “fringe,” then even if we wanted to do whatever it is your conspiracy theory thinks leftists want to do, then we don’t have the power or influence to do so. The left wants revolution, the right wants to maintain the status quo. The constitution already isn’t stopping Trump from doing what he wants, it isn’t a magic document.

            Why don’t you decide to productively engage with leftists, rather than just insult us with conspiracy theories?

              Because I’m done with leftist bullshit. I can’t watch them continuing to shit the bed and not realizing they’re the problem.

              You’re right they don’t have power or influence. But that isn’t the fault of the right. It’s the choices and actions of everyone on the left. The left need to wake up and see how potentially they direction was influenced by powerful people who herded them towards actions and ideas that were toxic pills

                Leftists have heard your conspiracy theories, the ones you’ve failed to materialize any evidence for, and rejected it. Right-wingers such as yourself would do well by reading leftist theory and engaging with the ideas that have existed for hundreds of years, growing and expanding over time, rather than just assuming this is a new thing where the far-right is telling people to read Marx. You’re incoherent and insulting towards those to your left without base.

                  No. I want the left to be united and successful. But I’m done with how oblivious so many of you are to how ineffective and useless you all are. I’m tired of watching so many opportunities go by year after year while you all waste it by trying to be the next PETA. I’m blaming the left for the reason the right have succeeded. The left have made themselves so aggressive and abrasive to the general public that it’s alienated then further and further from pop culture. I’ve watched the left to form a dominant position to the weakest and it was from our own actions. I’m done fucking sugar coating it. The left is cooked until they wake up

                    Probably shouldn’t accuse everyone who disagrees with you of being a shill then. Especially if you’re going to cry and moan when you get it back at you in return.

                    The left have made themselves so aggressive and abrasive

                    You mean like coming in and accusing everyone of being secret right wingers?

                    I’ve watched the left to form a dominant position to the weakest

                    What? Are you hundred years old? No you fucking didn’t.
