    no left or right

    i truly hate when they use this expression…usually means that they’re mostly going to work with rightoids

      I think it would be useful to give a solution to the problem you’re describing. Politics is serious you know, it’s my life and yours.

      So much of the things just get co-opted by the rightists immediately and because all leftists have is slogans then they throw them in the bucket, but because the rightists at least have power and the left doesn’t, this is a game of chicken you can’t win. Anything you invent will always be co-opted by the right, anything including communism.

        well…just don’t say that “this is not about left or right” because right-wing people will talk crap anyways and left-wing people will feel that you’re gonna concede in many ways
