No. Personal experience isn’t science. Your demand that I provide scientific proof of personal experience is absurd and just your bad faith way to totally dismiss it.
Can you prove to me with a scientific argument and data that you are leftist? Or that you are a true leftist? Or am I just supposed to ‘believe’ your self-reporting? I’m confident your sample size for your political beliefs and experiences consists of one.
Yep. Violence and death is great, when it’s against the people we don’t like. And bad when it’s against the people we do like.
And anyone who disagrees with us about who is good and bad, is a Nazi/fascist. But if we want to put people in camps and use the power of the state for violence and murder, it’s for good reasons!
You seem to be confusing leftism in general with economic leftism. they aren’t the same thing.
leftists in general, esp the vocal ones here on lemmy, tend to be authoritarians. They think taxing the rich and universal health care are neoliberalism/shitlib positions and we need to ‘tear the system’ down rather than reform it as a social democracy.
Or you are the typical head in the sand leftist who totally denies how highly problematic much of your cohort is.
Because if I wast a good leftist, that would never happen to me right? I must be a closeted Nazi, right?
I spent 3 years in uni being screamed at, in my face often, about how awful I was for being white and working class guy. Glad you didn’t have that experience? But plenty of men do. But it was really hard not to become totally alienated by that. A few times I was threatened physically, because I ‘don’t look leftist’, whatever the fuck that means. I still occasionally have some nutbags approach me and scream at me about my perceived politics based on how I look.
The left needs to give people simple answers and stop pushing convoluted narratives about how how being white and male is inherently awful and oppressive and you must be ‘reformed’ of your whiteness and maleness.
More economics, less identity politics.
liberal leftist discourse generally approaches men with the assumption they are already awful and must be reformed. especially if you are white and working-class. You are an ignorant sexist horrible person, until you have jumped through their hoops and read the relevant literature.
the white working-class guy is painted as a prototypical right-wing/nazi type, so if you have any of these traits, you are ‘guilty’ by default in the eyes of leftists. esp fediverse leftists.
ego stoking is how you get anyone to join your side. leftists blame other people for their own issues too, and stokes up their base by saying they are the only ‘good’ people.
Nazis are willing to meet men where they are.
leftist/liberals are not.
Why is it that men find Nazis more appealing, I wonder? It’s almost as if you treat people well they are more interested in hearing what you have to say…
because it’s true.
you are delusional if you think there aren’t hateful awful people on the left who think violence is a means to an end of theor political and social goals. lots of leftists here are insane people with insane views, that are often pro-violence, and pro-hatred. lots of those leftists are swept up hateful narratives about men, the working-class, and other identity group bullshit that they ironically also cling to as a means of asserting their own political/moral superiority.
being left/right has nothing to do with being a shitty and violent person. if you think it does, well I will assume you are one of the leftists who think’s violence and hatred are totally justified as long as it’s against your ‘enemies’.
and that’s cool man. go be an leftist extremist if you want. but if you pretend that it’s only a problem when the right wing does it, you’re no different than the right wingers you hate.
and your argument is guilt by assocation. ‘oh this other person said this thing i don’t like so therefore you are bad’. No. Right, and if right-wingers went on about how rape is bad, would any woman who talked about her expereince being raped also now be a right-winger? Jesus.
Frankly, I am talking about people exactly like you. You are the type of hateful angry leftist who is alienating people from your cause. Who dismiss and attack and harass anyone who doesn’t fit your overly simplistic narrative, with your crappy bad faith ‘arguments’. You take the ‘prove it’ flat earther bullshit approach, because it makes you feel BIG and SMART, because you’re completely the opposite.
