To the Authoritarian/reactionary left, the CIA is not just the US inteligence agency. Rather its this omnipresent shadowy entity that is both very incompetent and also the source of all evil and in particular its the source of any and all narratives that they dont agree with.— Lilithxrmx (@lilithxrmx) February 19, 2021
Because the left is a genuine threat to their position. They look at the status quo and more or less accept it as inevitable. Right wing critiques are fucking bonkers these days. You know, Q shit, just totally divorced from reality :zizek-ok:. Leftists, on the other hand, offer a material critique that can't be shaken off. There's really no defending the indefensible human cruelty required to make the system work, so they have to rationalize it away with pseudo-arguments at the very least.
