I hope this is sarcasm, because it is exactly this sort of thing that has been pushing the youth away from progressivism.
When people yell and scream that "you are bad, and should feel bad because of it", most people just want to say FU and go towards anywhere but the place the yeller is a part of.
Much of the modern far right has been created by the far left, which is why so many Americans are freaking out that the president they voted for is doing the things they hate so much. Because it wasn't about policy or ideals, it was about distancing themselves from the people that's been yelling at them for a decade, saying that they're bad people for things for simply existing.
No. Some people are capable of recognizing and admitting when they've made a mistake.
Denying that the right has targeted young men because of their insecurities is ridiculous.
And frankly if someone is going to become an even bigger hateful piece of shit because someone calls them out for being a moderately hateful piece of shit, then I'm really not interested in their allegiance. I'm sick of tolerating this dumbass bullshit. The left has spent too long assuming there is good faith here, and it's clear there is no respect and no desire to find common ground. To these people I say I'm sorry you were manipulated, but you have to take responsibility for your actions and your decisions - and we can all see the endgame of the populist right wing. At this point if you're digging in your heels then you're just a garbage human and you deserve what's coming to you.
