Also love how they jump right to assuming I am a right winger because I am disputing their dumb ass take.

    I don't think it's in their capacity to acknowledge that they can be outlefted. If you're fully sold on the democrat-republican dichotomy, then there's no room for left critique - you must be a republican.

      Yeah it's pretty surreal seeing the indoctrination from the outside perspective that we have. It's a shame that the right coopted the term redpill, we should have been all over that. Then again I was like 15 when that movie came out and couldn't have come to that conclusion before the rise of the alt-right and my own left radicalization.

      Liberals genuinely see the institutions themselves as the engine of social progress. According to this worldview, anything which challenges the legitimacy of these institutions challenges social progress itself. It is a complete inability to recognize class struggle as the engine of historical development.
