Seen in the wild
it's not absurd either, it's 1 potential tactical route 2 unite the left who are splintered thanks to McSweeney's daft tactics of punching the hippies even tho some of them weren't/aren't even hippies
yeah, that would all be true if not for the fact that will is a rich cishet dude, with 100k+ followers. punching at a bunch of trans women who, rightfully, called him on his transphobic behavior. the oppressed are no…
Oh yes that side of it. It’s just disgusting. I’m sick of this push to hate others for wanting to exist. It’s all about punching downwards. The only way Reform can get the win is to hate those less fortunate. Farage…
That merely proves they are BOTH driven by left punching fascism.
Seems like 50/50 between loves and loathes. Like no apathetic, just punching a clock, not trying to make anything or anybody worst, get out with as little stress as possible, middle of the spectrum type teachers.
