"If there is hope, it lies in Latin America, imo."

Yup. That's how Kafka and Picasso managed to nip Nazism in the bud. And I believe it was Edvard Munch who achieved women's suffrage and the eight-hour working day. (Or am I confusing him with Strindberg?)

Mac, that made me laugh. I will turn a blind eye to the next three posts of yours that rankle me.

Maybe you misunderstand me, Mac?

"Disturbing art" isn't for saving the world, or emancipating the oppressed masses. That was just a prediction, of the next move in the stupid culture wargames everybody seems to love playing. Obviously, disturbing art freaks out the righties, they can't hide their fascination and discomfort at all. Looks like a weakness to exploit, if you're into that sort of thing.

For real strategy, look to the boids. Guess that hit a nerve though, judging by the reaction to your reaction. Suck it, authoritarians!:) *gives the finger*

You are on to something very important here, I think. Very important.

Quick! Everyone to the legos! The revolution will be built brick, by tiny brick!

Why does nearly everybody equate "leftist" with "liberal?"

The thread was meant to be about the actual left, not a bunch of yuppie hipsters who want their Teslas and their pilgrimages to Bali and their feel-good multiracial but war criminal leaders.

Anybody remember how the "Left" used to mean "Labor?"

Yes, more Michael Parenti, less Meryl Streep thank you.

.

Maybe perpetually angry Trump apologists like yourself should leave it to actual leftists to hold this discussion, rather than continue (incompetently) posing as one and adding to the confusion.

.

I don't care if the real Carrot Top put these people out of power. They are monsters.

Here. This is for you. This is your idea of real leftists at work. You know, people who would be happier with Hillary than Trump.



Americans are Fucking sick.

You don't think posting atrocity videos of children to "prove" your point isn't emblematic of that?

The video is simply a record of the truth.

If you don't like it, I've got a big bucket of sand you can stick your head back into. Where shall I ship it. Don't worry, I'll pay for it.

Oh sure, you've got the truth, you've got the problem all figured out, you know whose responsible, and you've got the final solution. And you are going to hold everyone's face to the screen to watch your atrocity videos until they submit to the Trumphrer.
You can keep the sand, and go pound it.

Your behavior here is Exhibit A.

For one thing, maybe the 'left' should stop bickering among themselves and find some common ground in desirable changes, then consider what could actually be done to get that change happening. We've all been mentally and emotionally jerked around by the endless news cycles of the last year and that Can't Hurt Them, it just makes their job easier.

Also, does "the Left" agree on its own aims? Should we make a list of desirable changes for the U.S. from a pro-people standpoint? It might be a worthwhile exercise.
