    When are we going to stop pretending these allegedly-leftist agitators are actually on the left?

    Anyone genuinely on the left would not waste their efforts infighting.

      Infighting is the most ancient and hallowed of all leftist traditions.

        Yeah you get a lot of opinionated, strong willed, free thinkers together and it kind of comes with the territory. We really should learn to pick our battles though- we should solve the big important things first and then we can squabble over the details.

        is it? or is that like how “socialism doesn’t work” because the CIA keeps murdering anyone who tries it?

          Unless the CIA was founded during the French Revolution, I’m pretty sure it is.

      Eeehh, infighting is kind of the logo of the far left.

      Far right too, for that matter, horse shoe theory and all, I guess

      I’d like to believe at least some of it is false flag ops. Or foreign powers seeking to create more chaos and disruption. But, some of it is people pushing for an acceleration of leftist policies. They see socialism succeeding in China, and Europe, and become frustrated that it’s so demonized at home. They see unfathomable deaths unnecessary in parts of the world, and become self-knighted champions to fight against it. They mean well. They just don’t have the patience of years of watching the pace of change creep, to emotionally deal with someone not instantly converted to their cause the way they were.
