I’m sick of the far left too

[ReptilianPeon]

I'm not sick of the "far left"; I dot not consider the upper/middle class Hillarybots or the "SJW" crowd as "far left" - they are centrists at best. It's insulting to me when such people are lumped together with people who are actually intelligent and not sheeple. There are different degrees of left because politics is not one dimensional - it has at least two dimensions. I would factor in a person's authoritarian tendencies (whether they have them or not) in addition to their position on the "left-right scale". "Limousine liberals" and "champagne socialists" are fixated on first world problems, they are not real lefties and they will never truly understand the plight of the working classes.

Such people see immigration as merely a new Syrian or Vietnamese restaurant and are unwilling to address the problems that are making people emigrate their homelands. They fail to see that many NGOs simply as a 'band aid' (like, ironically, Band Aid) and cannot address structural problems. They only want to focus on social issues and never economic ones.

We need more brave humans like Stjepan Filipovic, who don't squander their time protesting university lecturers who didn't use the correct gender pronouns or whatever, and who bravely challenge the real Fascists. Many people simply think that a simple re-tweet will suffice in opposing Donald Trump and what he stands for. The limousine liberals and champagne socialists (the pretend left-wing) have yet to understand how much the America between the two main coastal areas is suffering will never succeed in getting through people who have lost all hope (and who are therefore happy to believe a conman because he provided the semblance of hope). I don't, therefore, believe that all of the right-wing is irredeemable; many are just misinformed and need the truth to set them free.

Of course, I understand that some Donald Trump supporters are beyond reach and irredeemable, and they should be opposed. People need to get out and vote and/or protest before all peaceful options run out. Stjepan Filipovic had no choice but to take up arms because it was too late for him (it was World War 2 after all) - let's hope things don't get that bad in the USA.

Also, here is Stjepan Filipovic, opposing Fascism until the very end:



I'm not sure that I could be as brave as he was.
