    It’s far from perfect, but it isn’t the cause of every single issue anyone’s ever had like people on here would have you believe

      What’s funny is these tankies are making the whole left look bad and I have to remind myself that these people are a tiny minority of disaducated extremists and not to let them put a bad taste in my mouth for anything socialist. I noticed their existence and rhetoric was pushing me right and now I’m realizing they’re very likely conservative trolls, fascists trying to make the left undersireable. A social democracy is what I look forward to, not licking putin’s aashole.

        You wish. And that sounds like something one of them would say, “left is when good, if they do a bad, they’re on the right.”

        At some point, we have to face the facts that there are also bad people on the left. It is what it is, it doesn’t mean the whole left is bad, we can squabble about proportions of hexbear/lemmygrad user types to liberals all day, but to pretend that any leftist that says dumb, authoritarian, or downright immoral things is just a right winger trying to discredit the left is Q level “Crisis Actor” style conspiracy horse shit, with all due respect.
