Let's talk about the Left

Ah yes, the left-wing corporate establishment the brilliant masterminds who took every noble ideal from the progressive playbook and filtered it through a $300K marketing department in San Francisco. From my pov, It’s honestly impressive, in a tragicomic sort of way. They somehow managed to turn “help the working class” into “curate your brand identity around vague social causes while ignoring every material problem facing regular people.” Because nothing says “justice” like a billion-dollar streaming platform releasing a limited docuseries on inequality while laying off half its staff and hiking subscription fees. And look, as someone who occasionally likes facts, reality, and not being screamed at it’s been endlessly delightful watching the left swap substance for vibes. Infrastructure’s collapsing, mental health is in freefall, and every major city has a housing crisis… but don’t worry, they changed the syrup bottle mascot. We’re saved. They treat politics like it’s a group project in an Ivy League seminar: full of abstract jargon, self-congratulation, and absolutely zero real-world consequences for them, at least. Even better, they’ve turned disagreement into moral failure. If you ask for pragmatic solutions instead of emotional spectacle, you’re regressive. If you think $7 gas and open borders might warrant a conversation, you’re clearly a bootlicking reactionary. It’s performative empathy at scale, run by people who have never touched a wrench, filled out a job application without help, or spoken to anyone outside their algorithmic echo chamber. The result? A movement that thinks it’s radical but is completely housebroken by corporate America. It’s all slogans, no scaffolding. All feelings, no follow-through. And if you dare point that out? Buckle up they’ll cancel you over brunch with their HR rep. Oh, isn’t it adorable how the left has perfected the art of calling anyone who disagrees “racist” or “bigoted” without even batting an eye? It’s almost like a reflex now a handy little magic word to shut down inconvenient conversations without having to actually engage with any real arguments. It’s just so much easier to toss around accusations than, you know, confront the messy reality of the policies they push. If you’re not on the exact same page, then clearly you must be a bigot, right? Simple, effective, and, oh, so intellectually lazy.

Because of all my heart issues, my cardiologist still has me on a no-news diet. What happened (besides the normal shit)?! I’m totally out of the loop. I get what you’re saying about the Democratic party, I’m just wondering if something happened. Oh, and Happy Easter (if you celebrate)! I hope you’re doing well! :orange_heart:
