What is the "Cocaine Left?"
Symptoms of cocaine abuse are aggression, antisocial behavior, actions that are dangerous to themselves and others, psychosis, overconfidence and irritability.
A certain portion of our fringe is dangerous the same way that MAGA is dangerous. They're uninterested in building anything, or accomplishing any policy. They want to set fire to everything in sight.
The Cocaine Left is hurting us, and making it impossible for the larger family of the left to thrive and accomplish things. And as someone who just celebrated 20 years of sobriety, I can tell you - the kindest thing we can do is stop enabling them.
If you think Russia, China and Hamas are the good guys, you are part of the Cocaine Left. If you believe violence is a valid political tactic, you are part of the Cocaine Left. If you think burning America down so your ideology can rise from the ashes is best, you are part of the Cocaine Left.
It's not going to be easy cutting them off and moving on without them, but in the end we will all be a lot healthier.

Coming back to this, implying a (loose) movement with a significant amount of POC are on cocaine is fucking wild.
Oh Malcolm X? The black Panthers? They were on crack cocaine which is why he was irritable, anti-social and aggressive. That's why Malcolm praised China, the USSR and was anti Zionist.
Not like us mostly white "leftists" who don't accomolish anything. We're not under the influence, toe the line and accomplish nothing. Roe V Wade was overturned under our watch, military spending and IDF funding increased, but we're better people who aren't controlled opposition!

Yeah, she raises a good point for more cocaine use on the left, doesn't she?
Empty platitudes for decriminalizing drugs whilst degrading people who are doing drugs is extremely typical, too. Not that I'm even on cocaine, but this behaviour echoes the "look I'm not against gay people but I wish they'd stop shoving it down our throats" line from liberals in the 00's and early 10's (and less commonly, now, I guess)
