There's Nothing Truly Left left of Modern Western Left
Liebour and DemonRats are Travesty of the Classic Left
Another my three-year old prescient piece.
I wonder how many people had noticed a drastic evolution, or, as I call it - degeneration - of the Western Left movement up to the point when it has nothing of the original Left values left. Had anyone noticed how the Western Left, especially its 'progressive' part, had transformed from pro working class to pro elite and pro bourgeois who arrogantly denounce working class as 'racist'? That's a direct betrayal of original Leftist values. But there's much more. Had anyone noticed how Western Left evolved from being anti-system, anti-establishment, anti government and anti corporate to obeying everything governments, establishment and media are telling them? How the Leftist instinctive mistrust to governments and hierarchy turned into blind trust to them? How their anti-capitalist and anti-corporate stance turned to supporting 'rainbow capitalism' and rooting for corporate censorship? Truly, corporations who pretend to care of gay rights successfully sell their product to people who pretend to hate capitalism. Sigh. So much hypocrisy in the West.
But there's much more. Please tell me how the Western progressive Left went from 'My Body My Choice' to vaccine passports and forced vaccination? How did they go from MeToo and 'only consensual sex' to 'if you refuse to date a trans woman with a dick, you're transphobic'? How did they go from 'System and governments aren't our friends' to 'Trust the System and Government is our Benefactor'? How people who used to be pro democracy now cheer corporate censorship? So many questions without answers again.
The utter hypocrisy of 'progressive' Leftist stance could be seen pretty easily by comparing it in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, when Trump was a President in US, American 'progressive' Left supported violent riots against the government and the system, chanted 'Defund the Police' and cheered any disobedience to American law enforcement. Already in 2021, when Biden occupied the White House, this 'noble' stance changed more than completely. Now, any civil disobedience is a 'direct attack on our democracy' (e.g., Biden administration) and should be prosecuted. Any riots against government are acts of 'high treason' and 'domestic terrorism' now. Really, don't these people see the terrible hypocrisy and glaring double standard of their stand, or do they even bother?
Look also at 'progressive' Leftist rhetoric with regard to American government - both in mainstream media and social media. Trump administration was harshly and often unfairly critisized for any even slightest mishap, anything Trump had said was instantly sabotaged and mocked even if later it turned out he was right, every his action was sabotaged and opposed and condemned, every his achievement however huge (like raising salaries and increasing the number of work places) was ignored, etc. With Biden administration, the progressive Leftist rhetoric is exact opposite. The rhetoric is fully supportive and even fawning on the border of bootlicking. No any critics whatsoever even when Biden administration makes pretty controversial decisions like pushing trans women into female sports. Mexican border detention centers are overcrowded with child migrants in terrible conditions yet media and 'progressive' Leftist activists ignore this issue more than completely while they were condemning Trump 24/7 for much milder border crisis. Examples of this hypocrisy are countless. Don't these people realize that they undermine trust to them more than completely, or do they even care when 'their guys' have all the power now? Sigh.
No, I understand that since Biden is their candidate while Trump is their opponents' candidate, they are perhaps more benevolent towards Biden by default, and it's somewhat natural even. Still, you should never treat the same issues differently. You just can't condemn Trump for border crisis but ignore it more than completely in case of Biden. You can't condemn Trump for every slightest mishap but ignore Biden's big blunders. It's just morally wrong, factually incorrect and practically very dangerous.
But this is modern Western 'progressive' Left for you though. Not only they directly oppose and attack basic Western liberal values, they had betrayed their own original Leftist ideology as well. There's nothing truly Left left in modern Western Left, to phrase it in pun way. Western 'progressive' Left became a cheap parody on themselves. They don't have even any consistent ideology anymore and that which they still have is totally messed up by their countless inconsistencies and double standards.
Modern Western 'progressive' Left, all those AOCs, Gretas and other Woke SJWs, are no more than clowns on establishment payroll. They are establishment bootlickers who merely regurgitate any state propaganda without any thinking and questioning, like parrots or dummies. They are also establishment pet bulldogs who obediently bark at every target authorities point to them. The Western 'progressive' Woke Left are perhaps the most pathetic creatures in the world. Clowns, bootlickers and hypocrites, useful idiots for corporate oligarchs and nothing more. I would have even pitied them if I didn't despise them so much.
yes, I noticed the change. unfortunately a lot of democrats have no idea there's been a change.
They grew up in the belief that loyalty is the supreme virtue; better than honesty, better than self-sacrifice, better than anything. It doesn't matter how much of a scoundrel wears that label, they will be loyal TO DISPLAY THEIR OWN GOODNESS. This matters to them more than truth!
Spot on about our woketard left. Any good the left once represented is gone.
