A former Pentagon contractor works with secretive sections of US special forces, then ups and moves to Russia. He gets married, radicalizes and starts popping up on Telegram channels as the leader of a neo-Nazi terrorist group recruiting Americans.

    The left cannot message, because every liberal has their own individual hierarchy of what the top policy issue should be.

    And the left cannot accept that peoples’ priorities are not the same.

    Sure, the Israel stuff is awful. Do you see these people complaining about Myanmar, or El Salvador, or any of the other human crisis areas in the world? No. They aren’t. They’re complaining about the hot topic item and being slacktivists online, then convincing themselves that making a statement by not participating will some how get people to pay attention to them.

    I’ve seen it since the 2000’s, and frankly, I’m fucking sick and tired of terminally online liberalism. It does nothing but complain and then offers no solutions to actually get anything done.

    ‘We want ranked choice, we want better healthcare, we want better education’ blah blah blah then they sit at home and let a Nazi win. Twice.

    Like, have fun riding your moral high horse down to the cattle cars. I hope it was worth it because the democrats didn’t prioritize giving queer pets more representation at shelters or some shit.

      While I would hesitate to frame it as liberals. Because as an anarchist let me tell you we all have different priorities. It’s a problem of ideology over achievability. Compounded by terminally online Trend chasing. Running after individual issues that are symptoms. But not the root of the problem.
