Can I just tell you one reason why lefties nuts have been cut off? Because we can’t even call Orban a cocksucker without getting a bunch of people offended by it. No offense but it’s no joke. You can’t even hit him where it hurts. Honestly the reason the world is ruled by shitty bullies because the good bullies aren’t allowed to bully anymore. That’s why the center and the left will diminish and these fucking losers while growing number.
For a great example of this, I’ll point at the BBS comment section for BoingBoing. I honestly think the boingboing subreddit was made to freely talk about the terrible situation at BoingBoing, because open discussion sure wasn’t going to happen on BoingBoing itself…I saw someone say they got a ban for calling some other poster crazy after the other poster made a death or a rape threat?
But yeah, when it comes to an absurd circle jerk followed by a circular firing squad, I’ve definitely seen it. It’s like there is a certain segment of lefties that want to lose elections forever.
Ironically, BoingBoing took their comment section behind a paywall at substack, so I’m sure paying to comment is bringing in lots of diverse views, LOL. 🤣
Mmmmm…
I hate to be that guy and tell gou that I told you so but… From fifteen to about five years ago the left was quite happily bullying everyone and their mother if you’d step out of line and disagree with whatever the subject du jour was.
This basically caused the shift to the right for many people, they were sick and tired of the hostile attitudes that some groups on the left had
Mind you, I’m saying this as someone on the left though I’m sure some of you will already be preparing sone Nazi insults for me, because how dare anyone not have our backs, right?
I’m not saying either that this current bullish behavior is fine either, it’s also shit. I’m saying that lots on the left had the same attitude and it pretty much got us trump 1
Hoe about instead of complaining that you cannot be bullish anymore, take this as an example of how not to do it? When the left eventually gets power back, let’s be nice to everyone including those that might not directly agree with us
I saw someone on Bluesky admonishing people for using “moron” because it was once a real medical term applied to people who were judged to be too stupid to reproduce and were hence sterilized, thus its a problematic term. You can’t hand me a word with such connotations and then say “but you can’t use it.”
Fuck me, I thought it was just another word for stupid and there is so much idiocy in the world today that I need every word I can get, but it’s so stupid you aren’t allowed to reproduce? Fuck yes!
Now I can call someone a moron, and educate them about exactly how fucking idiotic they are, and let them know they are a prescriptive Darwin Award winner.
Also, cocksucker is a perfectly cromulent term. Hit people with the insults that hurt them. They are supposed to be offensive. I want to offend. Not that I don’t have some lines I won’t cross, but cocksucker definitely isn’t one. Folks can get in line behind my wife to be insulted by that language, and they’ll be waiting a while.
Someone on the BoingBoing subreddit in one of the threads about the ridiculous moderation at BoingBoing’s BBS said they got a lifetime ban for calling another poster crazy (after the other poster suggested they should be raped).
I mean…when we have purity ponies like this running some of the more powerful/prominent corners of the 'net, it’s like the left doesn’t want to ever win any elections. Granted, BoingBoing has probably fallen very far in its reach in recent years, but still. It’s not like this insular circle jerk/circular firing squad mentality has disappeared. If anything, this type of leftist seems to be some of the most vocal and some of the very first types someone is likely to run across on the 'net (would not be surprised if commercial sites don’t push this kind of content intentionally and contrast it with red-pill stuff from the brosphere at the same time).
Some on the left are only left to enjoy the sense of smug superiority. Not that there aren’t idealists or folks with niche passions like that, but they are out there. Just as surely as there are minorities (or at least folks cosplaying as minorities) who attack allies as not being good enough to drive a wedge between minorities and their allies.
(or at least folks cosplaying as minorities)
I would not be surprised if some number of online “leftists” are just cosplaying their entire persona, and some of them are paid actors.
I mean, if you go into some corners like BoingBoing’s BBS before it was shut down, you might get the impression that the only leftists worthy of being platformed and heard from were ticking multiple Oppression Olympics checkboxes. Anyone that differed with this set on even minor points were to be silenced, possibly banned, and then ridiculed. You know, for things like not “checking their privilege”.
People used to joke about things like Communist “struggle sessions” and how absurdist they sounded. These struggle sessions are only online right now, and I think a lot of it is artifice of trolls/bots/paid actors and/or people blowing themselves up into something more important than they really are - the power of moderation really went to their heads, probably. But if a casual Democratic voter runs across that? Or the normies/low-info? They are going to think that all the crazy stuff Rush and Faux and Bullshit Mountain has been saying about the left is right…
For what it’s worth ‘idiot’ used to be the strongest term in the medical book. And that term is now considered pretty mild.
Because the moronic idiots are digging deeper
It’s time to clap back.
What you mean by that?
If it didn’t repel Orban out of office, it still needs some improvement.
I posted an article earlier about how it apparently really hurt his chances in the election thats scheduled next April but it got removed.
Not sure if somebody is just reporting them, but it was the second article related to Hungary and the Pride march that wasn’t a repost but still got removed for some reason.
I’d like to accuse Orban of orchestrating a ‘repulsive’ Orban. Maybe that greasy fuck could get to a gym some time.
