What is the worst thing about the left?

[draggs]

They cause threads like this to be created

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

They try to mask their authoritarianism with altruism. There's nobody that's a bigger piece of shit who wants to limit your personal liberties and says "it's for your own good/i do this because I care about the world."

They pretend they care about the well-being of others, but really they want you to "WEAR THE DAMN MASK" because they get a boner that cums smaller, raging boners by forcing their will onto others.

 

[Screamer]

I will assume you're talking about the woke mob that people call the left. Not actually left-wing.

The way they see everything as a dogma.

You have to agree with everything that wasn't true yesterday but is today. If you don't you're an evil person. You can't even question it. If you agree 99.9% and are just unsure of the last 0.1 % of what you're meant to think, you're considered as bad as someone who only agrees 0.1 % with them.

The woke ideology stuff doesn't have room to allow criticism or questioning. It's an incredibly dangerous feature of it.

You have to be on the team and go along with it all. The problem then becomes that they don't know why they believe what they believe. They just have a collection of ideas, theories, stories and beliefs which they accept as solid truth.

You're also meant to agree with stuff you can plainly see to not be true.

Also that everything has to be on agenda and purpose. If something has the right agenda it can't be criticised. Otherwise, you're criticising the end goal of the agenda. The self-righteousness of it all. "We're the good people who want good things for others."

This is also where the "we're the ones who believe in science" became so nauseating. It's just part of the dogma that they are always correct. On some issues, they align with the science where people on the right and elsewhere don't. On others they don't and this ideology then willfully wants to be unscientific. Corrupt the scientific method to align to it. Ignore the science if it doesn't fit the stories they've been told are true.

They don't care about the facts, they just look to the explanation they've been told, a narrative and that is the truth. Even when it doesn't make sense, the facts don't align with it. The story is the truth.

Stepping on my freedoms

Well there was no choice for "they cost me a shitload of money" so I'll go with the Victim Powerleveling Olympics.

 

[WhoBusTank69]

Democrats in government don't actually care, they want their job and their paycheck.
The "left" outside of government exist only to counter beliefs from the "right," even when it contradicts their own previous beliefs, in the name of progress.

Politics is a game; spreadsheets in which you must optimize your public position to have the most support from what you perceive to be the most influential base. The left is really good at the game because they're all conniving assholes and the right is filled with at least sometimes well-meaning retards that listen to country pop and are rural-residing either by coincidence or through purchasing a former plantation for a summer home. Owning the majority of news media in some way or form also helps pound it into heads that anything the right does is authoritarian even when it's a net benefit.

The corruption.

They are both actually left wing.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

The identity politics, the pretentious pseudo-intellectualism, the "No Fun Allowed" mentality, and the brutal moral authoritarian streak on par with a 17th Century Puritan mixed with a petty spiteful revanchist streak on par with a spoiled psychotic child.

There's a lot to hate about the Left.

Way too broad of a question, but summarized in the choices given, I think the fact that they act as though they are the underdogs when they are in fact the ruling class. Liberals, you won! But they are incapable of the self reflection needed to understand this, so I don't expect them to ever get it.

If I had to offer my own choice, it's that they've been allowed to get away with conflating their own clock of social democracy with technological progress. To them, those things are directly correlated, as though man wasn't making inventions until the Enlightenment.

 

[Bussyking7]

Who cares about all that social crap. It's all irrelevant and stupid. The economy is all that matters. On that point the left sucks. Why are my wages being suppressed, investments getting double taxed and income being taxed at 35 percent for gibs to the hoi polloi.

 

[potato in mah painus]

Straight up, the Purity Spiral. The left went from something I supported years ago to openly putting the most mental people on a pedestal and saying its the right way to go. This "purity spiral" drives these people to infect everything, and the worst part is once you catch on and spot the political bullshit they are lacing in everything you start to hate them with the same anger Hitler hated the jews with.

I didn't need gender politics in DnD and by extension Baulders gate, a fancy world where the coin equivalent of $50 gets you a magically perfect gender swap.

I didn't need a dumbfuck Nascar driver forcing the sport to put racial politics front and center over a stupid garage door draw string.

I didn't need Star Wars entire lore torn up because a woman must be a flawless mary sue that everything now revolves around.

And yet those things happened and thousands more, but because these stupid fucks are in the position of power and social change it will continue to be rammed down our throats until something very ugly happens.

 

[StalinMan53]

I remember the times when being left was okay. But all good must come to the end sometimes, i guess.

Same on this end. As a left-winger, the woke agenda is a big problem on my side along with the whole corporate shilling

 

[stares at error messages]

They speak entirely in platitudes and lie.

 

[Bell Peppers and Beef]

I think if I had to sum it up in one general term, its hypocrisy.

-They claim to be freedom fighters, but they want to censor everybody and force everyone to follow their rules.

On the contrary, I don't see this as hypocritical at all, more like it's a fact. A wise man once said...

"Well if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire what do freedom fighters fight? CIA niggers They never mention that part of it to us, do they?"

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Conflating victimhood with power. This causes people to compete against each other on who's the biggest victim, making it a race to the bottom and enshrining whining and bitching as the ultimate political tool, while making the ideas of strength, self improvement and self reliance virtually taboo.
It is also coupled with the attempt to take away others actual victimhood because they "don't deserve it". So rednecks who live in absolute poverty are considered to be in power, while faggots who live in multi million dollar homes and pass the time banging their faggot neighbours are the real victims.
A close second for the worst is the amount of consoom in the left. Unsurprisingly, rejecting every kind of real community due to it being a source of non-victimhood means you now need to fill the void of companionship with constant consumption of Disney merchandise, which you feel the need to justify by your politics, because that's what you literally are these days. It's especially annoying when they talk about the environment, so driving to work is evil and will destroy the planet, buying billions of ugly plastic figurines that needs to be shipped from China has no ecological trace whatsoever.

The worst thing about them is their hypocrisy.

Good video. He's wrong on SJW being coined as a pejorative though. I remember when that shit was really getting started, and you'd see college lectures with people introducing themselves as such.

 

[DeadFish]

Because they got the right ideas on many things but have bad solutions or outdated solutions to said problems.
