I think that a lot of sane leftists think it is still the liberalism of the 60s or 90s when most of them really did believe in peace and love and fighting hate. I know some people who never stopped being 60s hippies and they are some of the most loving and nicest people you could meet. This is a wakeup to what the left has turned into. They are just as hate filled and intolerant as the far right but people are afraid to call them out.
Problem with the hardcore left is multifold.
- They complain like babies
- They never seem to offer solutions
- Most are far away from the action, often dumb young people, emotional like children, and either unemployed or have cozy white collar office jobs. They dont know what it's like being a front line jobber whether it's putting in effort in army, police or sweating in front of an assembly line
- They think everything can be chill in life doing an arts degree and desk job. It's really just an extension from the hippie days where the views were if everyone can just relax, smoke some weed, and bang in a van while working a PT job then all world issues are solved. Easy solution if everyone wants to do the same. A useless view if the other side doesn't want to do that
- And when it gets to political topics, easily the most discriminatory out of all. If you want to see politicians like AOC and gang saying dumb shit in public, endless segregation, dividing people up into genders, dividing up jobs, aid and student admissions into race quotas and other skin deep initiatives, look left
