  > Probably United We Dream And BLM and MoveOn and Femen and all those well-funded (mostly by the same "billionaire philantrophist" famed for regime change since the late 80s) "activist groups". Brilliant stuff, back around the millenium "young liberal idealists" took to the streets against neocon governmental action like Kosovo war, the first post-9/11 wars, "WTO/world bank/IMF globalization" and such. Today, it is someone like Trump singlehandedly dismantling TPP and TTIP before even taking office, while this generation of young liberals are protected in very "safe spaces" from the knowledge of their governments' MENA meddlings, wedding dronings, or indeed good ole Guantanamo.. quite convenient for the "Democrats" of the last 8 years that most of the liberals/millenials go around in circles about gender and race and vegan superfoods. Real issues in society. ODDLY convenient!

    You lost me when you brought "vegan superfoods" into your rambling response :)

      I guess the essential message to my upper comments' parent was that when the "center-left" become neocons-in-practice-when-at-the-helm with plenty of social-justice-facade distractions (gender/race/bla) from the real crimes, the alt-right wins just a small-but-decisive extra contingent of people simply by sloganeering "let's tone down our too many military engagements in the world". A challenge to suggest such dynamics in brief outside the scope of a multi-page essay, but still wanted to quickly put the thought out there for anyone willing to ponder
