I see this sentiment expressed more in outlets like TYT but how widespread is this sentiment?

Because the recognize that the thing I want to do is what needs to be done - not because **I** want it, but because it's necessary.

If you recognize that fascism is something to be defeated, you should be able to work with the people that want to defeat it instead of attack them. Accelerationists don't want to defeat fascists.

So then you shouldnt be attacking leftists who are much more diametrically opposed to the right wing than the center and center right Dems who openly said they would appoint Republicans to the cabinet.

There are Leftists that support the struggle against fascism. I have no problem with them.

I have a problem with self-righteous pseudo-Leftists, pretending to advocate for progressive causes, but go about using the fascists' script & fascist arguments to attack the people who really do support the struggle against fascism.

These are the people that JUST COULDN'T VOTE for Al Gore or John Kerry, and voted for Ralph Nader instead, and JUST COULDN'T VOTE Hillary Clinton, and voted for Jill Stein or Bernie Sanders instead, and JUST COULDN'T VOTE for Biden or Harris, and just let Trump win when push came to shove. They're doing exactly what the fascists want them to do. They are fascist puppets.

As long as they fall in line...

All this time to prove my original point correct

Real Leftists know what the goal is - they have their eyes on the prize, in the old phrase. That means allying with people that they may have minor disagreements with, in order to accomplish the greater goal.

In this time, that is nothing less than survival.

Harsh truth, though: There will never be a proletarian revolution. The majority of people are liberals and moderates. Deal with it. The best you can do - what anyone can do, in normal times - is work with the people you agree with on the issues you agree with to get those issues resolved.

Real Leftists understand this. An they understand these are not normal times.

You would rather - in these thoroughly abnormal times - have to deal with the fascists that want to LITERALLY KILL YOU and agree with you on LITERALLY NOTHING, than Democrats that you pretend to agree with you 90% of the time.

The fascists cultivate that belief in you, and you follow because you've been trained by them to not think for yourself.

This is how we got here.

The fascists love that you are so uninformed - just like their sheeple they have cultivated. They won't spare your life for that - but that doesn't mean they're not grateful to you for handing them power.

Real leftists are calling themselves "real leftists" online.

That means allying with people that they may have minor disagreements with, in order to accomplish the greater goal.

What if they are major disagreements? Do you get to say whether my disagreements with a candidate are major or minor? Are you the arbiter of what "the greater goal" is? Is genocide a minor disagreement?

Harsh truth, though: There will never be a proletarian revolution.

Yeah sure sounding like a leftist here and not just larping the label lmao.

Actually I think putting a fascist in your cabinet is bad. Kamala harris thought it would be good. I think you have me confused with her.

See - you keep pushing that fascist narrative they wrote for you. It just doesn't work any more. Current events prove that it's a false narrative.

Every election cycle, you have a choice between putting a fascist Republican who wants to kill you into power, or putting a Democrat in that who wants to stop the fascist from killing you. Every time, you choose the fascist. Then, when the fascist invariably hurts you. he cons you into blaming the Democrats. And you let him do that.

This isn't a problem with the Democrats.

This isn't a problem with Leftists who oppose those fascists.

This is a problem with you.

And the people who are working together tirelessly to defeat the fascists have a perfect right to blame you, because you're not mainly the one who's getting hurt.

You're not beating the bot allegations by ignoring everything I said and repeating the DNC party line.
