As someone who has long considered myself a progressive and grew up thinking Bush was a facist(and still agrees) , I cannot think of a time in my life when conservatives acted as oppressively as the current woke left acts.
The grand irony is that you will be relentlessly and ruthlessly attacked for the thought crime of holding that position by the people who's argument is that just those words are oppressive to them.
- teachrdan 6y agoRepublican politicians in the 1980s suggested that people with HIV be sent to camps. Under President Trump, the US government separated refugee children from their parents without any plans to reunite them. I think these both qualify as "oppressive." What is it exactly that the "woke left" does that comes anywhere close? Ask for celebrities to lose their TV shows because they masturbated in front of women they had power over?
- mamon 6y agoTo be "progressive left" is a mental disorder. Seriously, to be like that you need to let go of: - logical thinking - knowledge of mathematics, - believing your own eyes Instead you need to start believing that: - government can print money out of thin air - people can change their gender at whim - killing people that inconvenience you (unborn, elderly) is good - black people cannot be racist even when they burn down white people property or simply beat them up in riots organised by BLM
- anm89 6y agoThis rhetoric is catoonishly simple. You are not doing yourself any favors here in my opinion. The adherence to ideological purity over critical thinking is what scares me most about both sides and saying everyone who disagrees with you has a mental disorder is pretty far from critical thinking.
