      They are saying that the idiots up top that run things keep trying to make peaceful reforms impossible. This will lead directly to their deaths. History is littered with examples of this exact scenario playing out in a myriad of different ways.

        If you say shit like this, you’re not a leftist, you’re just a memer. Practical outcomes and actionability are always more important than your petty puerile impulse for myopic catharsis. Introspect and do better.

          Yes, but also, your question is not genuine. If you are leftist, you are well aware of the deterioration of democracy and if you need someone to spell it out for you. Well then, if you are not paying attention and claim to be a leftist, what are you a leftist about? Because from the left it is quite obvious why they are scared.

            I was asking a clarifying question

            There was no malice or rebuttal in it

            Do you understand?

        You’re throwing away a genuine opportunity to add clarity and start a discussion with a likeminded person because you’re offended? How on earth do you expect to progress unless we can talk about our ideas?

          I doubt they’re offended. It’s more likely that, as a leftist, they are justifiably concerned about being provoked into making illegal (if morally justified) threats. There’s a long history of state agents infiltrating leftist spaces to provoke illegal behavior (which is often made illegal specifically to target leftists).

          We don’t need people that push a divisive narrative and push us away from each other.

          This is the kind of shit astroturfing bots do, and it works, it’s toxic AF.

            You’ve said at least twice in this thread that we’re “toxic” and should “gtfo” for discussing leftist ideas, and you’re suggesting that we’re divisive? Just be quiet and let us work. You’re free to leave if you don’t like it, but there’s nothing to gain by preventing dialogue.
