The same could be said about lower-income conservatives who gain nothing from Republican policies while continuing to vote for them because they hate leftism that much.

It is a quick way to see what people's motivations are. A lot of people coming in hot are mad and boy howdy are the going to let me know. They are going call me a shitlib and talk about real leftism. They also have issues they want to talk about so they will shoehorn them in.

Oh they absolutely exist, and are a real problem in leftist organizations. But I'm poor, all the leftists I know personally are poor, and leftism is overwhelmingly a movement of the poor.

The ableism in that one dude's insults was the cherry on top of things for me. Good, pure leftism right there.

So suddenly a bunch of "Leftism means that you shouldn't vote" accounts have shown up so I guess we're finally seeing what Trump's money is being spent on.

Someone a month back who pointed out that the main tent pole of online leftism was never doing any harm ever as the most important thing. Which is not MY ethos, but it's an ethos I guess. In that context, voting for Harris doesn't immediately end every war ever. How that leads to Stein, tho? No idea

calling yourself a leftist because you have takes that are mildly less stupid than reaganism is why "leftism" means nothing

North American leftism has been fully reduced to a hologram of the algorithm

I read a book called “adult children of emotionally immature parents” and it seems to me that a lot of the leftism I find annoying is based in what the book calls “healing fantasies.” A communist revolution, not voting, and accelerationism all seem clearly like healing fantasies the book describes

As opposed to leftism (from the right).
