There's a poem for this. Maybe you should care when anyone is silenced by the govt

“I only care when viewpoints I agree with are censored”

I don’t know if that’s what you meant to say but that’s how it reads

Mfer is just like the average MAGA fascist.

Assuming they're safe forever when its others targeted

Won't realize they fucked up (assuming they're even mentally capable of self reflection or critical thinking) until its their ass in the camp.

To be fair, regardless of what you think of Kimmel or Colbert - actual leftists don't have enough of an audience to justify the administration wasting time on them. So they don't.

I mean even on 'alternative media' there are really not many self-made individual leftists with wide viewership. I suppose my other point is that it is still a problem when the government also tries to censor people who are not leftists.

How did they censor leftists? With the power of the government behind them?

Can I see the context of this assault?

Not sure what Colbert being on the DNC payroll or a gotcha interview with Mamdani has to do with censorship.

Are you a 'real leftist' who would rather attack liberals for not being not left enough before attacking conservatives?

Or are you a right wing plant here to sow political division among the American left?

Horseshoe theory strikes again.

Yes. That's what leftists do. Haven't you been paying attention?

Liberalism is a stepping stone to socialism.

You cannot institute change by expecting people to radically change their ideologies overnight. It happens bit by bit, through actionable steps, not condescension and anger.

Ask yourself this, do you truly want people to become more progressive, or do you just want to feel morally superior by yelling at people who don't meet your standards?

American liberals are just trying to do the bare minimum of fighting fascism, and even that is a monumental task. Political infighting in the American left only helps conservatives. By the time you are done yelling at liberals, there will no longer be a country that has any shot at adopting 'real leftist' ideologies.

It's so easy to romanticize the 'violent overthrow of the ruling class' as if social collapse doesn't bring upon starvation, armed conflict, destitution, and mass instability.

Please stop with the armchair progressivism. The vast majority of American liberals aren't protecting the ruling class, they're working three jobs to feed a family for four while people like you treat them like a moral failure for making a realistic attempt against deep rooted conservatism.

How about you treat liberals like humans who have kids, family, and friends to think about, and not objects of sacrifice in your grandiose 'theories' that conveniently leaves out the mass casualties involved in the process?

A poignant and well thought out response. Only someone who has read theory can come up it. It's so deep, like a hole, dug by oneself. I can't possibly fathom.

Here, let me help you out with your next comment to save you some time:

"Read theory."

So... You're doing exactly what they accused you of and you admit it

Yeah I bet you don't care about the immigrants being taken because some of them aren't politically aligned with you

They should invite Nick Fuentes on to have him discuss what other right wing heads will be exploded by his basement troll army. Maybe the hosts can explore why the right keeps killing the right.
