I mean they’re in power, again, getting away with all kinds of crazy stuff because they have a ton of support
While we do the same thing we’ve done every 3 years. But this time will be different everyone. This time.

Sure but you all let him. Be pissy all you want every day. But if this was the right talking about Biden. They wouldn’t just be online. They would have 10 brand new American owned company’s selling stickers and books and social media influencers dedicated to just this one issue until every one understood what a tool he is. The left just bitch online but do nothing effective
Come on, you know what I’m talking about. It’s a channel that started with AI content and is now pivoting to videos about the riots. You can see where this is going. Sooner or later, it’ll expand into targeting protestors and other left-leaning causes.
It’s a novelty now, but it’s spreading fast, and more channels like it are popping up every day.
Meanwhile, the left is losing ground. Losing cultural capture. Because as a group, they’re being manipulated into isolating themselves from the very tools and platforms that shape public opinion. Social media. AI. All of it. They’re walking away from the battlefield while the other side builds momentum.
Saw this earlier in the week and thought of you. These short, funny videos are popping up more and more and they’re only getting better. They’re sharp, engaging, and they spread like wildfire.
You strike me as someone who gets it what it means when one side embraces the latest tools while the other rejects them.
The left is still holed up on Lemmy, clinging to “Fuck AI” groups. But why? Go back to the beginning. Look at the early coverage of AI it was overwhelmingly targeted at left-leaning spaces, full of panic and doom. Compare that to how the right talks about immigration. The headlines are cut and pasted from each other. Same playbook, different topic. The media set out to alienate the left from these tools.
Listen, we’re not supposed to get the context of this. We’re on the left. We’re supposed to argue the validity and logic if we can or cannot smoke next to the pump. Literal interpretations only please.
The reason I’m so frustrated with the left is because I wish you were right. But fucking hell I’ve seen it too many times. I’ve had this exact discussion every other time. The left are fucking performative and have not conviction. These protests are just to go get their “protest passport” stamped and go home then bitch about things until the next one.
Meanwhile it’s an opportunity for the authorities to go fishing. Police training isn’t what it is to be. They have protests down to a science. Plus they will be able to fight for bigger budgets.
I’m not saying protests shouldn’t happen. I am saying North American protests needs to something more than just showing up to get heads kicked in and make performative acts. Like it honestly seems like they biggest advances in how to protest came from other countries like China or Egypt. I don’t know. I’m just fucking done with it all. I’m telling you in a couple weeks none of this will matter.
That’s a critical part of the argument
It’ll work though too. People will show up. The most active protestors will be targeted and arrested. The rest will eventually go home and in a month we’ll be on to the new thing.
That’s crazy I didn’t know that. But I think of funding. I think of funding grifters like heritage foundation, TPUSA, people’s careers like Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Tim Pool whoever amplifies.
There’s not much on the left. Unless it’s a former Republican who is now anti Trump.
Elon isn’t a democrat
Where did I say kowtowing.
I think guys like him can be convinced to action with some very petty motivations. But we just need methods to motivate
That’s what a lot of you keep telling yourselves to self soothe all the failures
There’s always excuses. But the fact is the left lost the plot a long time ago.
Hey, here is another example. The left can’t ever set it self up for success. Chase all the money and power away. Then wonder why there’s been a steady decline.
Well maybe that is the reason both political parties have moved further and further to the right
No I’m not. You people are like lemmings. One of you says a thing and then that’s like your go to retort. Need like a David Attenborough for the digital age that can see these copy paste retorts in the wild and categorize them all.
I’m well aware they’re not the left. But I’m a political climate where there’s Republicans and Democrats you don’t have many options.
Lol they’re not losing because of neoliberalism. They’re losing because the left is no longer effective as a group and Democrats are closer to Republicans but that’s only because they’re allowed to be by the people. Which goes back to the left as people are just ineffective at what they try to accomplish.
I don’t think he believes any of those things. He’s a capitalist. He doesn’t care because those are rules. Rules do not apply to the rich like him. They’re just pieces on a game board they move around. He wants attention. Take advantage. Convince him to aid Palestine and they’ll all be eating cyber trucks in a week.
The fucking world is burning and I partially blame the left for ineffective and incompetent strategies and ideals. In my life, the left has a decent hold on things. Every year things improved bit by bit. But then the Internet came and it became clearer and clearer things changed. Instead of adsorption adapting the left just lost and continued to lose and never once has been critical of why they have been losing. It’s always how others are just dumb or rich.
Yea they suck. And he is a zit. But also rich.
Nice I love it. We didn’t stop ads years ago. Content creators deserve to be paid right guys. Right!!
Maybe the next Internet we can be more proactive. Whenever that is
