i do not agree with leftists teens on internet shitting on every person or celebrity who votes conservative, or try to cancel them

like im starting to despise their "my way or the high way" attitude more and more. i can understand not wanting to be friends with someone who votes conservative, because it's your choice who you fraternize with, but this constant holier than thou, us or them attitude comes over as being so performative and shallow.

i am a very leftist person, im leftist by european standards, but if your understanding of politics is composed of 280 character buzzword headlines, you are not an activist, you're a keyboard warrior

people need to accept that there are always going to be people who have a different opinion than you... and demonizing them, mobbing them, etc etc is actually only going to push them further into alt right spaces, something that you supposedly want to prevent

I think the thing that's even worse is that they shit on absolutely everyone who doesn't have absolutely 100% the same world view, that's not how politics or anything in life works and it shows that they don't know how to really change things.
If your preferred method of activism is threatening and insulting people on the internet, you are no activist at all but a little b***c.

this this this

they use "o so youre a racist/transphobe" as dogwhistles bc they know that once you accuse someone of that, no matter what your original point is, the twitter mob will pile onto you. they dont do factchecking.

i think it speaks to a lack of worldliness that they believe this moral crusade is a good cause. things always have to be either completely right or completely wrong.

and if you don't understand you should just "do a 5 min google" and come up with the same opinion. like how are you going to tell people to read a google summary of the israeli-palestina conflict? this is literally why everyone on the internet thinks they're a fucking politics expert

also this idea of demonizing conservative people has very real , and also racist, consequences.

eg people were hoping for florida to be hit hardest by the hurricane because it is a red (conservatist) state

or

people saying they couldn't support palestine bc they are anti-lgbt rights

and it's mainly white leftists holding these dogshit takes

like what is going to happen when white liberals realize that a lot of conservatists are
black, most asians in asia hold comparatively right-leaning opinions? are you going to dehumanize them too? for example the people in kabul, im sure they are pretty right leaning by western standards, are you going to dehumanize them too ? it's so weird

common tactic throughout history

but yes, I get where you're coming from - nothing is black, critical thought and discussion is how you reach people and bring them closer to your causes.

the propaganda and brainwashing is pretty intense here...
I live in a really conservative area, which is, unsurprisingly, a really poor area as well, with poor education, and poor healthcare. Easy to control folks who are dumb and desperate. None of it is on accident.
