Destiny is like the Bill Maher of political internet personalities. He liked Bernie for a hot minute and now spends all his time talking about how the left has gone too far for a reasonable "lefty" like himself.

    If a few right wing propaganda points are enough to shift you over to the right, then you were never a leftist to begin with.

      There's a very consistent thread here; these people who were "forced to the right" have never heard a sentence containing "stateless, classless, moneyless" in their entire miserable lives. They're all shackled to the wall in Plato's cave with no idea that they don't know what "the left" even is.

        Ironically, though, Destiny in particular has. He just hates the idea. He got absolutely fucking schooled by Michael Albert who spent like an hour educating Destiny about leftism and what it means, and Destiny basically admitted he had no argument whatsoever against what Albert was saying, and then came back the next day and said that Albert had the craziest and most disconnected ideas he'd ever heard. It was absolutely clownish.

          Almost exactly what happened with :funny-clown-hammer: and Hakim. These grifters have to inoculate their audience against people who are smarter, more knowledgeable, and more moral.

      It just doesnt make sense either, if a Trans person explodes on you and makes you feel bad about yourself, that shouldn't make you go right, it should just keep you temporarily from going more leftward. It's just a bad interaction.
