But like with many other things, when an issue starts to be less of an abstract horror that they can post outrage about and is actually something they’d have to face the reality of, even not as the direct victims and even if just through words on a screen, white and/or privileged leftists would rather shame people for their material conditions leaving them hopeless and desperate in a society that sees them as a disposable machines at best.
It makes me doubt their conviction. When the Red Terror starts, are these so-called “leftists” going to choke at pulling a trigger? If they get captured, are they going to snitch on people who trusted them? If they’re so easily scratched at anonymous forum posts, they’ll crack under pressure when it comes time to carry out actual revolution.
Their leftism is entirely performative. It’s merely an aesthetic to them seperate from liberalism and fascism. They’re anarkiddies with a veneer of literacy. Everything is hypothetical, nothing has actual consequences.
It’s not like Hexbear mods are lining people up, calculating their wages, and forcing them to donate to posts where the OP indicates desperate need.
