I personaly think Days of rage and various poo poo like that started killing it, that and the right. idk. everyone left or right wants to be the biggest victimes/oppressed.

it doesn't help that any kind of leftist idea is treated like 'but s-s-S-S-SOCIALISM' because of decades of anti-Soviet propaganda

When one girl I know in the local activist community (the ones responsible for the Yoga ban) got engaged, she was ostracized because she had committed to a hetero-monoga-normative (?) relationship, and even her engagement ring was a symbol of the patriarchy. Apparently how you live is an important part of activism, and if you aren't doing the queer poly thing forever you're selling out.

They might say they're all for inclusiveness but they'll turn on each other at the drop of a hat, and every time they get together at least one person will "call-out" someone for something. It's funny to me because I don't care, but it's extremely stressful for people who care about that stuff. It almost seems like a power play to put someone in their place.

this is seriously the dumbest faux bourgie left poo poo ever and i swear to god if i meet one of these people in real life there's gonna be problems

i suspect these people are just mentally ill tumblrinas with no real broader impact but that might be wishful optimism

maybe there wouldn't be cop hunters with body armor and assault rifles if the police didn't have armored crowd suppression vehicles with sonic cannons to make your eardrums burst in the first place tho

Yeah I mean obviously in an ideal world politicians would get together and say "wow we've pissed people off so much they're resorting to violence as a form of protest and that's bad for everyone, maybe we should change some policies that people have legitimate complaints about" but the reality is they're just going to spin it as 'violence is bad therefor the criticism that the violence stemmed from is bad too and now we need our cops to be even more violent to protect themselves, we will not give in to terrorists"

well, yeah.

that's why I'm buying Smith & Wesson and Taser stock.
