    Who are literally any of these people, and what makes them "post-left" rather than "right wing with leftish cultural signifiers"?

      the only thing i think that separates them for a regular, run of the mill reactionary is their occasional use of marxist words. That's basically all I can tell, they are all just as regressive. And even then they only use maybe 4 marxist words tops lol.

    Opinions like these used to be relegated to the wall of Men's rooms across the nation

    If I am elected president, that's exactly where they'll go again

        making bathrooms (and therefore bathroom wall writing) genderless will destroy a key element of my culture

        Men's Rooms... its where we hang penises when not in use right?

    It's actually absurd how rent free trans people live in these people's heads. Like it must be seriously exhausting to be such a gender or genital cop.

    I would like to warn against giving the "post left" label to any Twitter idiot who whines about vampires and the DSA. Some people are advancing salient critiques of "the left," but also some people are just real obnoxious.

    double underlining my own post: NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS THEY USED TO BE A LEFTIST IS A "POSTIE"

    Can someone explain to me why the fuck post-left people are almost always so fucking weird?

      people who constantly confuse liberals and leftist to make ridiculous strawmen, especially about ID Pol shit. Usually in bad faith but also some (most?) were never actually leftist, they may just like the idea of certain social programs it seems

        Oh so they’re woke nazis that are too chickenshit to just say the quiet part outloud.

        Same, lol. Obviously it is impossible to have real critiques of leftist programs of revolutionary politics without also being whatever flavor of reactionary these nobodies are, no I will not look into this at all.

      "I'm an Orthodox Marxist"

      "Oh yeah, which Marx texts have your read?"
