Got it, I shall harass centrists in your name (read: post counterfactual information that makes them mad).

I feel the need to point out: this is straight-up misogyny. It's trying to lay the blame on pedophilia on women “leading men astray” for nefarious reasons, while also engaging in some pretty obvious body-shaming. It's another attempt to dictate to women how they are allowed to behave and be sexual.

Oh, the Center for American Progress? Wow, wonder why they're trying to convince everyone that things are going great.

Well, that's a rather posh choice of yours for a spice. You wouldn't prefer some ginger instead? I promise, it's not a scary flavor. It'll taste rather sporty, if that makes any sense. Unless you're a baby about it, I suppose.

Just say "Jerry, no!"

Well, clearly you're just trying to dismiss the very real problem of William Fichtnerism in America.

Jordan Peterson tried to warn you all, but you wouldn't listen...

Fascists not from the Upper Austria region are just called sparkling authoritarians.

... What? Are you repeating the lie Trump said that anarchists were causing violence, that was then shown to be far-right groups like the Proud Boys? Okay, I can see this'll go nowhere. You have a good day.

Again, this is coming back to the "you see leftists as a monolith" problem. I'm not at events with people who are pro-Russia, I don't have a podcast, I'm a person who is a leftist. But I can't exactly tackle people who do wanna show up, now can I?

Again, all this requires a level of centralization of authority in the movement that simply does not exist. There exists no mechanism for the level of expulsion at present (or ever) that would satisfy you. You're asking for leftists to essentially have a pope that can excommunicate bad leftists.

I think you have acquired a worldview where democracy only happens through the lens of finance, because suggesting to "boycott an anti-war nonprofit" is such a bizarre, "vote with your wallet" view. People will still be activists without funding, like they've always done.

Legitimate question: do you think there is some absolute leftist authority that can decide who is and isn't in the leftist movement that all other leftists must adhere to? That we can somehow pick a group we consider bad and say all must ostracize them? I can't control the protest, you know.

You know leftists aren't a monolith, right? We disagree, have different opinions, argue. 'Cause we're people. I'm not saying you can't have found a leftist who's pining for Putin, but to ascribe that belief to all leftists is a strange conclusion to arrive at.

"I'm not insecure, you're insecure! Now watch as I waste a Saturday trying to start fights on a social media site!"

Sure, call me whatever, I don't care. You have fun.

I don't think you know what psychoanalysis is, because if you did you'd maybe try it and be less insufferable.

You just know he would insist on running some shitty sketches in-between deaths and corpse so much that it'd piss the rich folks off until they turned him into one.

... But it is a price worth paying for peace.

Say no more, the monkey paw has heard your wish!
