- jrm4 2y agoOh no, I do mean that the lefties are the problem. They're the ones making it sterile. I'm glad the libs are pushing back. Disconnected keyboard lefties who don't touch grass calling me a Nazi because I also still use Twitter, being completely clueless as to the fact that a lot of Black folks like myself are still there because, well, we're used to surviving and thriving in hostile spaces. (and then also snowflake hard-left Black folks who -- and I've literally NEVER seen this in my life until Mastodon -- really do "play the race card." It's wild)
- swed420 2y agoIt sounds like you're using the liberal definition of leftist.
- jrm4 2y agoProbably?
- swed420 2y agoIn other words, what you call liberals probably are, but they're engaging with faux leftists who are just a different flavor of liberal, not actually left. If they were actually left, they'd be focusing on class based issues instead of amping up division with the race etc issues that you mentioned.
