      Just desperation to aesthetically differentiate themselves from the reactionaries they secretly are.

      Edit: until you won’t vote for Biden. Then they hope Muslims get deported or worse. Then it’s not so secret.

      “I’m as left wing as they come, but I think people are too harsh on this poor innocent Hitler guy, and not harsh enough on that big meanie head Stalin.”

    Damn, can’t believe chatbots have progressed to the point that they can extrapolate a response to a pair of images like that. It’s spot on.

    This is why I am not on Twitter much, every comment is either MagaComms being like “hell yea brother, Russia Rulez” or LeftComms telling me I know nothing about Marx

      This isn’t a leftcom. This is a radlib who thinks they have understood what communism is after readong the first paragraph of the wikipedia article.

          A radlib is someone who carries the baggage of the “progressive” side of liberalism, while simultaneously proclaiming themselves to be well, leftist, or radical

          These are the same people who have a major unwillingness to support anti-imperialism against the Western hegemony, with its capitalists, if not outright socialist and culturally progressive policies globally…

          Eg. They shout out publicly for gay rights, while using this to cudgel and orientalize Arabs, Russians, and other ethnic groups, due to their culturally “inherent” homophobia…

    You are the child for having an ideology that actually works in uplifting people out of poverty, on turning poor feudal backwaters into global space-capable superpowers, and upon which we own most of our employment rights, protections and economic welfare nets.

    They are the adult for wanting to kiss the asses of the oligarchs so they can sign off on allowing non-hetero marriage, and maybe slow down the rate at which they increase our exploitation. Of course like the genuine adults that they are, they’ll project this onto you, because deep down they understand how futile it actually is.

    Oh and of course, they are very likely adult for understanding that Ukrainian Nazis are the victims for not allowing them to commit some peaceful independent self-determining democratic genocide, like their Israeli brethren.

      Nobody on the left wants you to know they’re on the left, they’re too concerned with the fact you won’t be the right kind of leftist and would rather you see them as a centrist who agrees with you on every point that matters. I mean you can just call yourself a marxist but even then you’re going to have your crusty anarchists who will turn their brains off and start going on a far right rampage about how you’re an evil tankie for supporting worker co-ops even though you know full well you both support worker co-ops.
