    So much of the shit is just "I didn't support the status quo, but than my material conditions improved to the point where I benefited from the empire, so I support it now"

    I actually hate those fucks more than any other type

      Me too. Good riddance to them. For people like that, it was never about empathy or solidarity, it's pure self-centeredness.

      People like this often weren't all that left to begin with. They were just liberals that liked the far-left aesthetic because it was edgy to them. Chances are that they probably agreed with US foreign policy and saw TYT, Vaush, or Bernie as being the farthest left you could be.
