There have been a bunch of articles telling the left off for using it for all sorts of stupid reasons. It's entirely a Twitter insult

Main Paineframe posted:the failing washington post For gently caress'S SAKE Do people just not understand how protest against a violent regime works? At all? People risk their lives because they might die by protesting. That's the POINT. Or they do. They do, and they know they're helping it but are too loving bloodthirsty to stop killing people, and merely complain about how their bodies are forming the moral high ground.

Jose posted:Where did liberals and conservatives get this idea that the left isn't allowed to insult people. That might not even be the point of the article but it's a thing in the uk because old white men are getting called gammon on twitter and it's the left being racist despite it being Twitter I think it has to do with the fact that liberalism became the further "left" one could be for the longest time. Liberalism is of course a is ideology that emphasizes "rational" debate and  so the idea that anyone on the left would just call some right wing shithead out seems wrong to the liberal cucks.

Grondoth posted:For gently caress'S SAKE According to the liberal worldview the only legitimate violence is state violence, so if you even take a swing at a government troop they can blow you apart with an anti-aircraft gun. Unless you're opposing the Washington Consensus, which is when all state violence is illegitimate except ours.

To continue with what I was saying earlier in response to Jose's question. I also think that in a sense that the libs are doing is lashing out. For the longest time, they were the furthest left one could go for "respectable" discourse and that's changing now,mostly through the rise of stuff like TYT, but also through the rise of Jacobin. They're threatened by that in a sense as their reason to exist was to explain "silly" leftist viewpoints.

One of the other symptoms of centrism is being more outraged by what the left says or doesn't say than what the right does -- the things it do, you see? This was articulated during the Iraq War by denouncing the anti-war movement because of the presence of groups like ANSWER which refused to denounce Saddam. Christopher Hitchens wrote about that almost weekly in Slate and so on to a large liberal audience. "The left has betrayed its anti-totalitarianism" and so on -- but the anti-war position was the correct one.

What we see from the Israeli side is that Palestinians were allowed to protest the embassy moving with 0 fatalities, because the IDF doesn't have carte blanche to mass murder Arabs in Israel proper yet.
