Cool.

Why there is a thread about this if is fucking nothing? Why should people care about random idiots at Twitter bitch about?

Good thing this never works! But that's none of my business...
That’s something I can’t decide if I do or don’t understand about the culture war. Online right leaning types long for nuclear family structures. Be it looking to their childhoods or the idyllic image of the 1950s or now McDonalds ads. Good old days fantasies. Online left often react by saying nobody was happy or is happy or will ever be happy. That’s not to say the other side isn’t about sowing misery and fear. Usually about perceived threats to those fantasies. Immigration, women’s rights, typical gamer fare. Or that left leaning types aren’t obsessed with the past. Usually their past, as children.

Anyway, eat McDonalds, drink Bud Light, shave with Gillette, wear Nike, watch Disney.

Don't trust the state huh? Sounds like some right-wing propaganda to me.

"We have to win elections before we can do anything, and that means appealing to moderates!". All right. If you say so. Go ahead and cook.

Then out come the shocked pikachu faces and disgust when the moderate party full of moderates that they fought so hard for adopt moderate positions like "Not punishing the police for misbehaving at all and funding 'better training' instead" or "It's not worth my time and political capital to rule on corner case trans issues right now".

The Democratic party team sports lib warriors never, ever, ever show their face in threads where lunatics are bitching about how some moderate D took a moderate position and threw them under the bus. They don't have the balls to say "you don't want Republicans to WIN, do you?" to ClickyCal or Excelsiorlef.

I'm reminded of that sad thread that I don't feel like finding right now where someone was really fired up about trans issues, some law had been passed, and they actually wanted to organize something for once, and their solution was the old "everyone call your representative, all the time, every day!

I dunno, sounds too recent. Is there some sort of Simpsons or Sienfeld reference I could use instead?

Also, if I wanted to use Secret Invasion, I would have had to have been one of the five people that watched it.

The bigger problem is that ClickyCal' is another of the many group accounts. I know there's tons of them but check the long list in the members only thread to make sure you're keeping them apart from each other. Wouldn't want Hecht to catch onto things before the final plan* can come to fruition.

In a democracy, which of the following positions do you actually think gets closer to the end goal of progressive change that you want?
  1. Pragmatic realpolitik and compromising where you have to in order to make tiny steps forward
  2. Recalcitrant ideological positioning, where you would rather have nothing than water down what you want (which is coincidentally the end goal of the people who hate the very principle of the change you want to make)

Bougie false choice that ideologically justifies denying liberation for a real democracy where there is singluar unity, unriven by the phony dissent of false consciousness, that enacts its uncompromising will.
