    “Haven’t” and “can’t” are separate concepts. But in all my interactions with you, you have only solidified a tendency to straw-man those you disagree with into manichean absolutes. You draw unsubstantiated conclusions from your own biases and scraps of comments twisted beyond their context.

    I disagree with the war-mongering, and the capitulation to capital, and the performative social policy, and the convenient bi-partisanahip, among many other capitalist policies wrapped in a rainbow flag. Better than the capitaists wrapped in a swastika, but not representative. I figured a leftist could have extrapolated that when I said I was a leftist.

    But you either aren’t a leftist, or you’re a teenage “leftist” who doesn’t know the meaning of the words “praxis” or “implementation”. I don’t have time for bad faith actors or nitwits who sound just like them.

      Perhaps. But I’m not a leftist. I’m a progressive. Plus, I didn’t know which neoliberal policies you were happy with and which ones you weren’t. I don’t see genocide support on your list, which I can’t say comes as a surprise, what with this being lemmy and all.

      This is correct.

      who doesn’t know the meaning of the words “praxis” or “implementation”.

      Simping for neoliberals while they support genocide is neither.

      I don’t have time for bad faith actors or nitwits who sound just like them.

      If you think this applies to me, do something else. I’m not forcing you to have this conversation.
