I keep hearing people say that the far-left is significantly less organised, more fragmented than the far-right. Why is that? (And to be clear: I’m asking about the far-left, not just the left in general (though they may be linked)

    when your beliefs are based on fantasies and re-writing history so you have no base in reality, you’re fucked from the start

    that and you’re a bunch of idiot protestors that never get elected and create anything lasting in society apart from the misery you revel in (the struggle) that is the meaning of your life

      For someone against progressives to talk about “beliefs based on fantasies”, “rewriting history”, and “having no base in reality”

      You have to be a special kind of idiot, right?

      Please tell me all about the migrant caravans and how slavery wasn’t that bad. Tell me about your macho leaders with mascara and multiple makeup studios. Tell me about how well the country is doing. Please tell me about the furries in schools with litter boxes and migrants eating cats.

      Yeah, YOU pedophilia supporting traitor, please tell US about REALITY

      Right-wingers in the US are the kings of living in a fantasy of their own creation, both in their rhetoric as well as their actual policy. That’s why we’re talking about trans athletes in sports being a widespread epidemic while waiting for that trickle down economics to finally hit the middle class.

      The left’s problem isn’t strictly related to rhetoric or policy (though it would be foolish to call them masters of either), it’s that they suck at coalition building and can never get even simple and widely popular ideas actually implemented or enforced.
