Likewise HN both hates rust, and insists that we rewrite everything in rust. Viewing "the left" as a monolith is where you went wrong. Right now, "the left" includes groups willing to speak out about genocide in Palestine (that's "the left" this article is about). That group includes quite a lot of Muslims who support polygamy and don't support LGBT rights. But "the left" hates polygamy and loves LGBT rights. "The left" is also concerned about antisemitism and enjoys punching nazis. "The left" is also pacifist and doesn't think that anybody should be punching anybody. "The left" is also concerned about pollution, and doesn't like nuke power. "The left" is also concerned about global warming, and prefers nuke power. "The left" has whatever foolish combination of inconsistent beliefs you want it to, because "the left" is not one.
- peddling-brink 3y agoNeither the Left nor the Right are single ideologies. I was with you to the end, but calling “the left” a foolish combination of inconsistent beliefs makes as much sense as labeling the conflicting beliefs of Trump, McCain and Nick Fuentes as “the right”.
