The great sin of 21st century far left rethoric was to enforce the idea that only one narrative is possible, correct, and just.
No wonder so many people, young and old, got swayed by the far right, which had been creeping its way up in the West since at least the 80's.
The fascist lie that "you" deserve "everything" and that "everything" was taken from "you" by "them" can only be fueled by an "adversary" that appears to limit no only your choices but your freedom of expression.
Only with time, when hopefully all the lies have been uncovered, be it through certain files that are currently making the news, or through the entire collapse of the military-entertainment complex, will we realise how we've been played on both sides.
Tumblr, at least in my opinion, is partly to blame for making leftist ideas such an easy target, making them look unpalatable, childish and vengeful.
Or course none of that would have happened were it not for social media and, ultimately, the internet. Like printing, etchings, photography, radio, and TV before it, any tool that accelerates and expands the sharing of ideas WILL be used to further an agenda, in complete disregard for reason and truth.
And sadly hate mongers have often been better at communication than those who advocate for restraint and empathy.
Whatever your gender, skin color, religion, etc, the ONLY true divide in this Godforsaken world is between the Haves and the Have-nots. Always has been, always will be.
If you really need to direct your rage unto someone, direct it to the person who employs your employer. Not your slightly reactionary neighbour or your irritating activist. LEAVE PEOPLE BE.
