Is leftism becoming unpopular?

[BaskingBarracuda]

No, I think it's still pretty popular, but primarily among a millennial/zoomer demographic who right now aren't the generation that holds power. The adage of 'the internet is not real life' is true, but only so long as the generation who aren't terminally online is still alive. All the leftist shit that gets 20k retweets on twitter may be a captive audience but that audience who've known nothing but it just keeps getting bigger, and we're already seeing how the ideology has seeped into the media. This tweet might be a bit hyperbolic but I think it sums up the situation quite well:

Not directly related to this thread but Bill Maher tell a warning tale then leftists should listen.

Not So "F**king Awesome"... Bill Maher Blasts "Insane Arrogance" Of Today's 'Woke Revolutionaries'​

In 2019, comedian Bill Maher warned Americans "we are going to have to learn to live with each other or there will be blood."

Almost exactly three years ago, the HBO host reminded the world that he was the only liberal pundit on TV who will call "the tolerant" left on its BS, by daring to admit that the US media manufactures more "fake news" than Russia ever could (and ironically, in recent weeks, has been proven 100% correct on 'Russia collusion' hoax lies).

Then, two years ago, Maher first ratcheted up his honest-reality filter to '11' by refusing to follow fellow Democrats down the 'woke' abyss, exclaiming "you're the fucking nuts, this is insane" at progressive officials' relentless anti-white activism in New York schools, both public and private.

Since then he taken a shot at "social justice warriors", mocked the left's demands for reparations, made fun of progressives' hypocritical claims of racism against the 'Chinese virus', and further shamed the left's constant COVID fear porn, among many other topics including mask-wearing fanaticism, media burying the Hunter Biden laptop story, gender reassignment, and celebrating obesity.

Amid endless pushback from 'his side' of the political spectrum, a year ago, Maher shit back accurately stated that it is the left that has changed, not him.

“Let’s get this straight. It’s not me who changed - it’s the left, who is now made up of a small contingent who’ve gone mental, and a large contingent who refuse to call them out for it. But I will. That’s why I’m a hero at Fox these days. Which shows just how much liberals have their head up their a--, because if they really thought about it, they would have made me a hero on their media.”

And he previously warned that the US has already lost to China because because of our "wokeism" and "culture wars" which is ironic as a Chinese spy balloon quietly snaps piccys of all of us with President Biden twiddling his thumbs.

It’s not going to backfire. They know Democrats are the party of gibs, antiwhite hatred, preferential treatment, etc. When Republicans tried to buy off blacks with Da Platinum Plan n sheeeit in 2020, it only brought a few hundred thousand over. They attempted to bribe niggers and it failed. Aside from faggots, nobody is going to change their mind about who to vote for because of fags.

And it wasn’t just California that turned blue. New Mexico, Colorado, and Virginia all turned blue within a generation thanks to demographic changes. On deck is Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona.

And when you ask the standard republican why this demographic shift changes politics they'll insist "IT'S JUST CULTURE THEY'LL SEE OUR WAY".

that would be better then the tension so thick you can cut it with a knife politics, peopple will only learn the horrors of clown world the hard way.

Depends on what you mean with Left. I think many things that Gen Z'ers see as normal are actually normal and/or apolitical now, even if they used to be a left-wing topic. Like every industrialised country has a welfare state since WWII and almost no one under 30 hates gay people or is racist anymore.

I'm a 01 Zoomer, yet I still see that shit for what it is. Gays are still faggots that only got their butt sex legalized in 2015, I remember that, and as for welfare, the state should piss off and stop causing hyper inflation by handing out MY money.

Perhaps it's becoming more and more true over time, you're just not noticing it.

Feels more like people put up with the left out of fear, which isn't really a good thing in the long run.

 

[Jarolleon]

Yes and no.

You see, kiddies don't rebel against authoritarianism, or capitalism, or big government, it's their parents. It's always their parents. Kids don't have the brainpower to realize that their youthful trolling of the authority figures closest to them in their lives (their parents, mainly) plays right into the hands of the capitalist elite. Sure they may be having fun, but they sure as hell aren't doing anything useful for society in the process, nor are they making any powerful or meaningful statements.

Big business isn't intimidated by hippies, punks, goths, emos, rivetheads, genderspecials, or any other youth counterculture. In fact, they ride off of them.

They're not even truly being rebellious, they just want to be "cool" or edgy, and even more so if it annoys their parents.

Though on the other hand, it's also entirely possible that they'll also get sick of their peers' faggotry and rebel against that. Hell, even in the past, kids were very sensitive when anyone made fun of them for the subculture they belonged to. Nobody takes punks or goths seriously anymore.

You gotta tell kids, it's OK to make fun of these people. Pick any cringy asthetic you want, but a lifestyle that involves self-mutilation, sexual degeneracy, and willful rejection of reality is not conducive to happiness. It's worthy of nothing but contempt and mockery.

And you guys are missing the most important part: moonbats don't have children. Conservatives and moderates do. Rebelling against wokism would essentially be falling in line with their parents' beliefs, with the exception that they might develop a very edgy sense of humor that would bug their parents.

They could rebel against their teachers too, and considering the number of college dropouts who are vocal on the online right this is almost certainly a common occurrence. The lefties who controlled my school board took this into account, they would teach a somewhat 1950s view of the world in the early grades, and then subvert it in the later ones, so that just as kids question the first part they get told the "truth" and think they're deep thinkers for getting the intended implications. This is how Canada is so masterfully brainwashed that they fall for shit like the "residential school mass graves" with such low opposition that even the people at the Honkening waved the "every child matters" flag, while the American neolibs can barely force a milquetoast dementia patient into office.

Leftism has never been popular to start with. Just as any other extremum it's something that attarcts a tiny autistic minority of especially loud individuals. World is not twitter, Resetera, 4chan, or even A&N, the great ideological rift exists only as long as you are online.

 

[Troon Destroyer]

When the transnational corporations will use right-wing slogans and employ conservatives in HR and PR departments and when all the anarchist trannies, communist faggots and liberoid progtards will switch to being conservatives and nationalists and insist they always were the good guys, then we'll talk about leftism being unpopular.

* and when it's clearly not over compensating for something like the blond hair blue eyed firefighter commercial for Gillette. Or the living embodiment of the "I have nothing for comtempt for your beliefs but buzzword buzzword do what I say" meme.

The internet is American and politics is all most Americans have. No future, no prospects, no dreams or hopes; clinging only to a vain hope that a new president will somehow make their lives easier. Oh, hobbies? Friends? Not wasting time tweeting 3 hours a day? nah man I NEED to be an active advocate of my political views! Trannies are DYING!.. Uh, where? Well, IF Trump.. Wait shit, he's already out. NEVERMIND, YOU'RE A BIGOT!

I've unironically just resorted to peddling Christianity and capitalizing the Lord's name because it's less of a bother than entertaining these motherfuckers. Women should strive to be mothers and find purpose in their immediate colony as opposed to the greater female hivemind, and men should seek to protect a woman of worth that recognizes what he's delivering through great investment, regardless of natural genes and inclination.

And saying this is practically heresy in this day and age. I volunteer at a large pro-cultural/SJW type event and we've got pronouns in our bio. I've not seen a single person use anything but their real pronouns or "they" out of courtesy. This shit reeks of internet culture and has no place in society where you have to stand up for yourself and your beliefs as per our parents' generation.

What do I think? I think I've read this OP's post before, multiple times over the past 50 years and it's never been true.

Fixed that for you. For as much as we keep hearing of a great inflection point or the pendulum swinging back, it has consistently went in one direction since the 1960s and since 1945 if we want to be accurate about it.

Perhaps it's becoming more and more true over time, you're just not noticing it.

Not really. Most people still are mollified by the bread and circuses act. Big Normie still gets bought off with cheap entertainment, free pornography, and occasionally hooking up with a tatted up slut. It’s empty calories but people still indulge. That’s how leftism keeps going.

Leftism has never been popular to start with. Just as any other extremum it's something that attarcts a tiny autistic minority of especially loud individuals. World is not twitter, Resetera, 4chan, or even A&N, the great ideological rift exists only as long as you are online.

To believe this means to deny the 2020 Summer of Love, the endless virtue signaling from white women about how much they love BLM, the Branch Covidian Karens telling us how we’re all in this together, etc. Ultimately if society complied with the demands of the left, it doesn’t matter if it’s popular. Nobody gives a fuck if it’s popular, they only care if society complies, which they do.

1960s. lol. normie-tier.

1776? Rebelling against the monarchy and declaring that "all men are created equal" was the original leftism.
1945? Try 1865. If we're being generous and not including rebelling against the Crown as leftism than the US Civil War would be the start of modern leftism. Radical Abolitionists wanted to open borders with the Negros.

 

[Nacho Man Randy Salsa]

leftism is built on envy, it'll never not be popular

 

[Sprocket]

Leftism is becoming unpopular. It started becoming unpopular when they started calling people bigots and nazi's.

 

[dipmyshit]

I dont know about internet politics because I'm not autistic enough but I see a bunch of trannies on twitter so it must be as popular as ever

Nigger are you retarded? (Nevermind, I glossed over your username and know for a fact you’re retarded) The people fighting to keep blacks enslaved are the same party championing leftism today.

Parties change. The original Republican party of the 1850s was Northeastern and included racial abolitionists (i.e. the original social justice warriors) and business industrialists. That's the same as the Democratic party today except the Democrats include both coasts.

The Dems changed insomuch that they exchanged one form of slavery (overt, privately managed) for another (government welfare). What sets abolitionists apart from the social justice warriors (whose tactics of financial and physical tyranny are used today by elements such as DEI and BLM) was the idea that a person’s race should not be a factor in determining a person’s place in life (as opposed to modern day Dems that have pushed idpol for a decade and a half now). The biggest change in the ideology of either party was their role in politics; the Dems aiming to be a corrupt majority and the Repubs being a useless minority, as American politics slid into a unilateral state.
