Fucking this.
Furthermore, when people won't even cook at all (online leftists who do fucking nothing but complain), they have no space to complain when someone is doing any cooking.
Only the sith deal in absolutes. Idealism is for idealists, aka tools. We are flawed beings, living in a flawed world, we have to deal with flaws. Nothing and nobody will ever be perfect for anything and everyone, that’s not a good reason to let fascists have their way. We can work out the details after the revolution.
These are just your ideals, dum dum.
How is that a false standard of beauty, perfection, or excellence?
Idealism uses a different definition for ideals than you are here, dum dum.
'The Left' isn't going to do shit in their 'revolution' except talk about it online.
They don't show up to anything.
Yeah, that’s why there are so many protests going on right now with people being arrested for confronting and resisting the current administration, because leftists never do anything, right?
Yeah I see tons of actual people protesting, not the terminally online Leftists here.
Regular people are fighting, not the tankies ;)
Tankies are not leftists, they’re authoritarian boot lickers, they just hate capitalism and love fascists and genocide.
They don't even hate capitalism, just USA.
i'm sick of protests. it's time to start actually fighting. with guns.
