You guys have really been brainwashed. I have a close friend who is on the pretty radical left. He is an active member of the Social Democrats. I, on the other hand, am a pretty average liberal - not a moderate Democrat, nor a radical leftist. He and I have political discussions frequently. He is not violent , and neither are his friends in the organizations. They are dedicated to educating themselves about current sociological trends, the intersection of capitalism and democratic socialism, solutions for current problems. They go to city council meetings to advocate for their positions. He often disagrees with me, but always listens and is respectful. He does not hate this country, but wants it to live up to its ideals. Why you think people like him are monsters, I don't know. But I think you have been listening to people who want to gain power by finding a boogie man for you to hate. I would ask you to do some studying rather than letting power people fill you minds with fear and anger.
We don't think people like him are monsters. We think they are hopelessly naïve. Victims of their own naivety. Whom the extremists find as useful until they are no longer needed and can be disposed of.
They may be sticking a grenade down their shorts and not even realizing it. Look at the schools. They're debating whether to send the kids back or not. Okay.... so what will the teacher's do? Online classes are NOT popular with parents and the parents want their kids in school. A year ago they were worried about school shootings, now its school contagions. Crazy world. And if this brings about more kids being home schooled, the teacher's unions will throw a hissy fit like you're never seen.
But if they do go back, will they have to space out kids and cut down classroom sizes and maybe extend the school day to accommodate the smaller class sizes and spaced out lunches? if they think that school taxes can be hiked to pay for extra teachers or extra buildings, they're in for a rude awakening. Sales taxes and business taxes will have to bear the brunt of it and this was after they ordered the economy to go into the tank. No money there. They've sowed the seeds of chaos and now they'll reap one huge mess. And as we all know, progressives like to complain but they don't have many ideas.
I don't think they thought this pandemic out too thoroughly.
The left hates America and wants redistribution, communism, and less freedom. They don’t just not like your opinion they want to take away your right to have an opinion. Look how violent and intolerant they get when someone doesn’t agree.

The heck with that... do they think the SILENT MAJORITY on the left and the right.. people who pay taxes, obey the laws and like having a functioning society would just let this happen?
Do young people who came up in leftist universities, which is nearly ALL of them, REALLY believe that there is nothing good or positive about America or our history? Do they really hate America? Do they not understand that their lives are far better than someone living in Iran, Venezuela or China?
I've been trying to wrap my head around how they think this is going to work. Do they think these big multinational corporations who are invested in the status quo of capitalism are going to just fold up and become nationalized?
Who will be their footsoldiers? Chaz/Chop type denizens? How long do they think that will last if real bullets start flying?
Sorry for rambling, I just don't get where they think this is going and how they think it will work.
My own theory is that I tend to think that the far left simply has no tolerance at all for any debate, discussion or challenge to their position so they never learned to think critically about it for themselves! I'm trying to understand this from a position of logic and reason while it may be pure emotion that was generated in an environment and a culture that never encouraged self reflection or any challenge to it's narrative so the obvious flaws are invisible to these people.
I also don't understand how the rest of us, on the left and the right, are tolerating and enabling this.
It's sedition and we have gone to war over less.
The end game is probably for everyone to live in equal poverty, and for the secret thought police to constantly check on us to make sure we conform to party ideology including the ideology of white lives don't matter, whilst destroying western history and philosophy, art and culture.
If they really tried I am sure they could take us back to the stone age, although no one would be allowed a big cave than anyone else.
I used to think liberals had at least some good intent. Judging by all the illegal wars their man-god Obama started though, and the fact that they love GWB now that he's a known anti Trumper, I would say they literally want to make the world worse off... By any means necessary. It's known that they want to completely dismantle the USA piece by piece, but I think their ambitions are global at this point.
There is no "good" in a liberal. Their goal is subjugation and totalitarian rule; read Allinsky's Rules for Radicals. There is no compromise or "middle ground" for a lib.
Libs are the enemy within and should be viewed as all of our foreign enemies of the past who opposed the US and The Constitution.
I think people need to stand up to these Marxist professors in college. If they start talking biased and pushing their personal ideologies, remove them, defund the school. If they start throwing punches, punch back.
