#left-leaning

I recently interacted with the extremist side of communism, and oh boy, it's been a wild ride.

People who used the word "bourgeois" as a buzzword for anything they didn't like and to hide their bigotry. People who claimed to be communists but had clearly fascist views. People who were clearly dissatisfied with their lives and who, to feel better, applied the logic of the fox who fails to reach the grape and therefore says that it's sour and not worth it.

Again, I'm not talking about valid criticism but about stuff that doesn't make any sense.

Some of them were clearly being ironic, but I'm not sure about the others.

I don't call myself a communist yet, but I'm a sympathizer and I'm left-leaning, so it bothers me that communism is still viewed poorly today because of these extremist pieces of shit who kiss the ass of sewer rats like Mao and Stalin. Those two bastards were dictators who used communism for their own interests, so the sooner you understand that, the better.

It's okay to agree with some of their principles, but there's a world of difference between doing that and painting them as heroes.

However, even if I went on about all of this, it wouldn’t even scratch the surface! Just the other day, I was watching a video by a man who, in his videos, has appeared to be fairly left-leaning. And in this video, he shared a time that he was told by a viewer that something he had said was ableist. And, in response to this, he said that they were “going too far” and said that he “doesn’t want everything to be PC all the time”.

This isn’t to say that all of these people, or even the majority, are extremely problematic. However, I think it’s extremely important that these problems are addressed.

The Polarization of Online Spaces Post-Election Following Donald J. Trump’s victory in the recent election, his supporters flocked to various online platforms to celebrate and discuss the outcome. Hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic posts praising Mr. Trump filled Truth Social, the social media network that he owns. Speculation about the potential achievements of the forthcoming administration…

Left-Leaning Opportunists (bilingual/bilingue) https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/left-leaning-opportunists-bilingual-bilingue-bf278a73c92e

 I just published Left-Leaning Opportunists. They have cushy jobs in universities or various prestigious high schools. They have comfy salaries that make them upper-middle class. They teach between 14 hours and at times 3 or 4 hours a week. They have a cozy apartment or house in some city, and a second home for weekends and vacations in the countryside or the mountains. Luxury is part of the game. In many ways, they have nothing to do with the working class, though some might have been born in a lower-middle-class family. But they have forgotten what it used to be. Comme on dit en français, ils sont la gauche bling bling: l'âme près du coeur à gauche mais le portefeuille à droite, côté foie, hépatite alcoolique et diabète.

Liberal Editor is Afraid…of the Plumber?

Ned Resnikoff is a “senior” liberal editor at “Think Progress,” a left-wing “think tank.” Twitter user and independent journalist named Michael Tracey named happened upon his Facebook Post written 4 days after the election that caused him to ask: “What in the ever-loving hell is this?” Resnikoff was apparently afraid of his plumber because he was a “middle-aged White man who spoke with a Southern…

Taken from this post. Sorry if someone already made a post for this picture, I just had to put this out there.

Just beautiful. Even the tokenism in this cast is fucked up. What about Indian people? Latino people? Native Americans? Caucasians? Arabs? Asians? No, none of the above, Marvel? Just 90% black and we call that diversity? Somebody ought to remind them of the definition. Hopefully, even those who like tokenism should get mad, if that happens it’s going to be really entertaining to watch.

So which demographic is this movie going to cater to? The new Black Panthers movement? Ooh, I’m onto something! But yeah, for a movie that’s probably going to be released internationally the “representation” is terrible. 1 billion people in India won’t identify with the skin color of any of these characters, 1 billion Chinese people won’t either. Think about the representation™, Marvel ! You’re shunning a fuckton of people with this failure at the “diversity” you aimed to reach!
