god, i can't even make snarky tweets about it anymore, the dirtbag left just sucks so bad and if i see you amplifying or supporting any of them at this point i will probably unfollow you

the majority of their politics at this point boils down to targeting people who disagree with them or dare threaten their status in any way. they have never successfully fully punched up, but now almost all they ever do is punch down

as an anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, feminist person who makes a living researching political communities online, i will say that the resonances between their approach and those of the far-right are alarming

and as someone who has observed and taken part in on-the-ground organizing, i can say their approach has almost nothing in common with actual movement-building efforts. they are an actively counter-productive force in leftist politics
