    Part of the reason for the USA's failure is MAGA but the other big aspect is a left that does not engage the real enemy

    Toxic idealism

    Spineless capitulation

    Mindless cynicism

    "Polite society" "high road" cluelessness

    And lazy entitlement

    Not financial entitlement but this obtuse entitled foolishness that we have the time and space to criticize some aspect of the left according to deranged standards of perfection when we're facing literal fascism

    Make MAGA the target of your venom

    @benroyce this reminds me of a recently published argument between Chomsky and Moinbot on whether what happened during the terrible Rwanda wars was a genocide or an atrocity.The letters between them really sounded like they fell out. I think there's a bit of pride in there too.

    Appreciate I'm massively simplifying their correspondence. And I say that only to somewhat mitigate fear of trolling, which further highlights your point.

      this is like "you don't tolerate the intolerant, so you are intolerant!"

      so if i criticize those attacking the left, magically *i* am the one attacking the left?

      πŸ˜†

      if you're confused, please try to make sense

      if you're trolling, try harder next time

      @benroyce

      Oh, so this was attacking:
      https://social.coop/@Bandersnatch@mastodon.social/116014269906832170

      And this was criticism:
      https://social.coop/@benroyce@mastodon.social/116015465284947604

      I guess I'm just dumb, because to me it looked like the opposite. I guess we really need to protect the socialist vanguard, Kathy Hochul, against the reactionary terror of _labor unions_ politely asking to be left alone.

      Take some ownership over your behavior, dude.

        i won't troll you but i will castigate you

        never mention #Chomsky again

        nevermind him licking #Putin's boots over the invasion of #Ukraine

        Noam is in the #EpsteinFiles defending #Epstein

        he did this *after* Epstein was revealed as a pedophile human trafficker

        Fuck #NoamChomsky

        And I am not attacking the left, ironically, in contradiction to what I have said above:

        A pedophile/ #imperialism apologist is not of the left

        Chomsky is not of the left

        Not anymore at least

          it was that post that inspired the top level comment of mine you are criticizing

          where you see contradiction is in reality perfect consistency

          fuck Hochul but she is not MAGA

          that's my point

          what the fuck does anyone gain from attacking Hochul, *especially* in the context of a topic change from attacking Trump?

          criticizing someone for attacking the left is not the same as criticizing those who are doing that

          do you understand that?

          it's not complicated

          you are incoherent

            @benroyce Wow I knew he was a bit of a tankie but not the Epstein thing, now I do, I absolutely agree. That's certainly a hard reason to fall-out.

              unfortunately leftists morphing into right wing turds has a number of examples in this world

              when it happens we sever all ties

              #NoamChomsky is a piece of shit

              we cannot think of him in any other way except scorn

              that he once said something insightful is still true, and we can use his past thoughts usefully: quietly, to ourselves

              what we can never do anymore is attribute any of that to a man who is now human scum

              the name Noam #Chomsky is now rat poison

              Link Preview Image
              Chomsky advised Epstein about 'horrible' media coverage, files show

              The exchange was among the latest release of files from the US government's investigation into Epstein.

                    #tankies are mindless contrarians

                    "i hate the usa so i support vile regimes" is not principled nor moral

                    the moral, principled approach is to castigate the #USA *and* #Russia

                    supporting Russian #imperialism in the name of opposing American imperialism is just fucking stupid

                    so supposedly intellectual #NoamChomsky is functioning on the same level as a 14 year old edgelord in this fashion

                    #Chomsky's pedophile apologism in the #EpsteinFiles is just the final nail in the coffin

                            @benroyce Just because you do not understand what I am saying, does not mean that I am incoherent.

                            You seem to be pretty preoccupied with how people vote. Well, right now, in New York, there are thousands of voters who are fighting for their livelihoods. Kathy Hochul is actively stymieing their efforts. You are more upset with someone who is saying that she shouldn't do that than you are with her for doing that. And, you are doing this because, "[you] agree with [them] in the goal [they] seek, but [you] can't agree with [their] methods of direct action."

                            Like, what is the purpose of the Left if not to help working people seek better wages and working conditions? To provide them with dignity and equality?

                            This isn't a team sport. This is real life where real people are really fighting to survive. And, you are being a rude prick to those people because one of them made an extremely mild criticism about someone on the blue team.

                            Touch grass and open a book.

                                Keyboard warriors like you are the problem, and I think the reason you have so much vitriol for me is because you know that. Anytime you see someone with principle or conviction, it shames you because you have none. When you watch people do brave things, it shames you because you are a coward. You have never done anything besides post, you will never do anything besides post, and you are incapable of organizing anyone to power because you are so contemptible.

                                It does not have to be this way, but you are far too narcissistic to allow the thought that you might be wrongheaded to cross your mind.

                                It is lucky that, when people like me eventually prevail over the myopic avarice of liberalism, that people like you will just go along with us, because we will become your team.

                                  Alex the keyboard warrior complaining about keyboard warriors

                                  and then the instablock, speaking of cowardice

                                  but not before some oddly specific insults about feelings of impotency. i say oddly specific because the emotionally immature always reveal their own internal struggles in the shaping of their insult tracks

                                  people like Alex are what is wrong with the USA, as much as MAGA

                                    Part of the reason for the USA's failure is MAGA but the other big aspect is a left that does not engage the real enemy

                                    Toxic idealism

                                    Spineless capitulation

                                    Mindless cynicism

                                    "Polite society" "high road" cluelessness

                                    And lazy entitlement

                                    Not financial entitlement but this obtuse entitled foolishness that we have the time and space to criticize some aspect of the left according to deranged standards of perfection when we're facing literal fascism

                                    Make MAGA the target of your venom

                                      i won't troll you but i will castigate you

                                      never mention #Chomsky again

                                      nevermind him licking #Putin's boots over the invasion of #Ukraine

                                      Noam is in the #EpsteinFiles defending #Epstein

                                      he did this *after* Epstein was revealed as a pedophile human trafficker

                                      Fuck #NoamChomsky

                                      And I am not attacking the left, ironically, in contradiction to what I have said above:

                                      A pedophile/ #imperialism apologist is not of the left

                                      Chomsky is not of the left

                                      Not anymore at least

                                      Ok then, if chomsky isn't on the left because he's a pedophile supporter (agreed) then people who eat other animals aren't on the left either because they perpetuate a globalised violent system of exploitation torture and murder for their own taste preferences in direct contradiction of left principles of justice equality and fairness.

                                        our national character has rotted to a festering self-destructive mess of our own making
