Newly radicalized liberals are often very shocked at the true nature of the Democratic Party. It’s lies, deception, & imperialism. It’s shocking. This does not, however, mean all who hate the Dems are our allies. If you’re allying with fash and Nazis, you’ve lost the plot!
There are deceptive actors who claim to be “leftist” that prey on these newly radicalized libs. They turn what could be useful allies to the left into an angry, misdirected mass unattached to any mass political movement and by consequence, incapable of feeling hopeful
They call all vehicles for progress liberal and ineffective (despite evidence to the contrary) & fabricate unattainable metrics for these groups to meet so their followers feel vindicated in their belief these groups are doing nothing. Then they advocate they ally w fash & Nazis
1/Their strategy is to misdirect newly radicalized libs. They use vague, anti-establishment rhetoric & avoid attaching themselves to a left ideology. Then they demonize socialist organizations and socialists. Then they have “casual conversations” (for their viewership to consume)
With fascists/Nazis/members of the far right where they challenge them on nothing and agree on everything. It’s a pipeline. It’s deliberate and transparent in its mechanics. They are pipelining people into the far right, cloaked in a veneer of “leftism”.
They begin with a premise we all agree with: Democrats are bad. Then they invent a leftist litmus test (for example, FTV). Anyone who disagrees is “not left”. Now you’re in a more isolated camp. More vulnerable. Now it’s “Lets talk to a Boog! Boogs are just like us!”
They’re able to turn what should be merely a disagreement on strategy into camps: you agree with us, or you’re a phony & a fraud & useless & not on the left. It’s deliberate. Doing this ensures their desired outcome: making it seem the other side doesn’t care or is ineffective
These premises they set up guarantee they end up looking like they’re in the right. These groups are ineffective. I am trustworthy. So when they start to flirt with fash, you trust them because they’ve been “right” before.
