I'm tired of the bitching. Let's get some shit done. Enough talk.
I'm tired of all the non-fascists bitching about the non-purity of other non-fascists.
We are supposed to be allies. If we can't work together, we deserve to lose.
they aren't interested in doing anything. they are interested in feeling smug and superior.
politics is boring. showing up to your local town meeting and listening to zoning hearings or a budget override for your local FD to buy new pants, or listening your 70+ senile neighbors rant one after one during open session about how children are weak and pathetic for wanting heat in their school during the winter, isn't exactly heroic and epic.
people would rather sit at home and fantasize about the violent revolution and how they will become king. it feels good. because you know, your smarter than everyone else and your society would be perfect and wonderful and just.
People say I'm a "lib" but I vote because I have no faith in the radical left to put up. Unfortunately they won't shut up either.
ever rad leftist I know IRL has become a pro-capitalist, anti tax, moderate conservative in adulthood.
what causes this? they buy property, and/or become a parent. all the sudden the egalitarian utopia they espouse becomes a threat to their property value and their kids economic future.
i'm sure they are online ranting rad left crap, but their personal behavior is always the most NIMBY/anti tax/anti growth shit. They basically had shitlibs so much online because they are them IRL.
Not that that type of thing is exclusive to them. Lots of people are complete hypocrites when you contrast their personal life choices to their political talking points. Because all politics to them is a power fantasy where they get to control other people's lives, but they feel they should not be subjected to anyone else's control or oversight.
