I’m in a weird mood where I’m feeling weirdly empathetic to the post left guy. Like, clips from CTH will genuinely sound absurd to libs. Part of being a lib is a deep deep brainwashing that left of liberal isn’t a real political stance. And with that, it’s absurd to think they have racist/islamophobic issues to deal with within THEIR party. I hope this guy can become post post left (aka, left)
Part of being a liberal is believing there’s only two sides to humanity: the nice liberal side and this uncompromising, undefeatable vague blob of bad stuff that will always exist. You can’t reason with it, at best you can force it to hold exactly half the power. Leftists don’t make sense to them because we can sound simultaneously like liberals and adherents of the evil blob, sometimes in the same sentence.
I don’t know how to handle anti-left liberals anymore. I wish they would just be more honest and say they want imperialist bourgeois power structures in power, but they never phrase it like that unless they’re a self-identified neoliberal. And those people are too much of cranks to bother with.

they don’t know what the terms imperialist, bourgeois, or power structures mean so it’s kind of an uphill climb.
