~Even though I am ostensibly Progressive - Pro-LGBT, Pro-Reproductive Rights, Pro-Marriage Equality, Pro-Labor, Pro-Income Equality, etc - I have come to despise The American Left. I'm old enough to remember when we got out into the streets and fucked things up. If the cops came at us, we went at them. We actually believed in Revolution, even if we were a little vague on its specifics.
But now the so-called Left has become a bunch of chickenshit mealy-mouthed whiners.
They've become so 'inclusive' that they don't really believe in anything.
They preach Tolerance, but cannot practice it because everything triggers them.
They rant about Cultural Appropriation when they produce absolutely no culture themselves.
They lament the political violence of the Right, yet demand we disarmed ourselves.
And they endlessly debate and parse every tiny cultural detail and political nuance to death and so render themselves fatally divided and utterly impotent.
Worse of all, they have so become thoroughly Petite Bourgeois in their world view - Everything Must Be Safe And Everyone Must Be Nice, All The Time, Everywhere - that they are now The Perfect Tools of The Corporate Confederacy, not Citizens, but Conscious Consumers.
The American Right is the same in its own way, but it has the advantage of being able to Hate without any need to 'understand' anything beyond its own mindset. That is the great power of Fascism, being allowed to openly hate that which you fear and do so without any shame.
