The shocking inability of left-wing parties worldwide to capitalize on literally anything is mystifying to me. How little that seems to trigger self-reflection is, sadly, not.
It's incredibly difficult in a media landscape controlled by capitalists, unfortunately. And there's been very little effective action in creating mainstream alternatives to capitalist news media.
And this, kids, is what this "lack of self-reflection" thing looks like in the wild.
Students should start trying to "it's not me, it's capitalism" their grades. It's an airtight defense.
And, for the record, the rise of neofascism was built on the rhetorical template of a grassroots 4chan sexist psyop. It's not capitalism.
It’s far easier to get people on side with hate and rhetoric than being nice and public policy.
Scrapping the carbon tax was a great first step, but I’d love to see them take every single dollar assigned to F35 fighters and put it all into healthcare and healthy school meals for kids (see how Japan does it right).
That’s the problem. You don’t need to be nice to do what’s right. Leftist politicians need to learn this.
Hey, be nice. Being nice is good PR. You can campaign on "nice".
Just be smart about it. Get people on board. Turn it into votes.
So why is the left not pushing hate and rhetoric?
I don't give a crap how they do it, I just care about them actually having some degree of policty control. It's called politics, they should try it sometime.
It's not like there aren't left-friendly targets for hate, and yet left-wing parties have been remarkably incompetent at pushing the same demagoguery on billionaires or corporations than the right uses for migrants or trans people.
Once again, deflection instead of self-assessment. The dog ate my campaign strategy, apparently.
Hate is a pretty shallow thing.
I have no time at all for pushing hate agendas by any party. I don’t hate billionaires, corporations, police, politicians, or even trump and elon. I sure have contempt for them and would love them gone, but not hate.
But I don't care about you. I care about winning elections.
You seem already convinced, which makes you irrelevant. It's about building a mass movement that is zealously on board. Even if you were lost to the cause, that'd be a good move if ten people came in to replace you.
So what is it? Is hate "far easier to get people on side", or is it a fruitless "shallow thing"? Either way it's been incompetently mismanaged by leftist movements, with fascist extremists successfully leveraging it to excite and engage voters, and younger ones especially, while left-wing parties languish.
Just gonna block you. Don’t care for your attitude. Bye.
