I never get the “we were doing it first” toxicity. Why should it matter why the newcomers were ignorant if they want to join the cause? Why create new enemies just to protect your “pure” reasons? That kind of separationism is exactly what keeps the ones you should focus on in power, and they want it that way. A divided resistance will fail.
The PATRIOT Act was a fucking power grab, and obviously was in place in case a crisis came into play. No way something that couldn’t be read in that short a time before approval was written that fast.
Its the cop-in-your-brain, which is of course all of the propaganda of the fascists. This is exactly what they want, and their choice rhetoric has worked its way into the leftist spaces to an extent
Because the majority of “leftists” are exclusively online and their entire lives revolve around internet points derived from having the best and purest ideologies
Where do you think the majority of “rightists”, “libertarians”, and “liberals” are spending their time nowadays? The mall? Everybody is terminally online, apparently including you.
yeah. for a lot of the attitudes i see on lemmy about how politics should work i’m like… where are you? i’m out in these streets and i don’t see you. a lot of what people are calling for don’t work until we have mass support and to have mass support we need people outside.

I’ve been the first to be against “we’ve been first toxicity”, get in line!
I agree with your point, however it’s also frustrating how obvious it was that all the post-9/11 powers we gave the government would be abused.

In case McZipper Unflies his tight walking two 16’s in a double deck knot-real via some stupid gayMe trick with some cubs over a century old.
Then be like, "Told you so. They made that shit up a dick a half ago and if you think I’m the one then check me in another deck and a half*
Tell Lima I saw the first one too but not with my ice. Just all this natural AC signing it the first time we did it again.
Math, Time, Logic, Lumbly and Love do well advise to swap it for Meth, Magic and Möbius Strip Doors to…
…Drumroll Mofos…
…Eat the Rich…Like a Cruise Pitt.

Well, they sit in the “right house”
True but my political existence actually isn’t and I do stuff irl
Too many people just preach dramatic purity online and nothing else

And as such, too, their idea of what leftism outside their zones becomes distorted by the propaganda mechanisms that benefit primarily their enemies
