the worst dudes online are the guys who are like “the time for electoral politics is over, it’s time for guillotines.” yeah bud i’m sure you’ll stop posting and get the ball rolling on the guillotines any minute now.
this basically serves the same purpose as QAnon shit on the right. it projects itself as an aggressive form of political engagement, but it’s really just a retreat into fantasy and nihilism
They learned it from QAnon and MAGA spaces. Since it felt like those groups "won" and "got their way" their tactics must be better than other tactics. Whole premise of the "dirtbag left," really.
The party that basically CAN'T win a popular vote, winning battles with dirty tricks while losing the wars that matter.
I agree that the democrats should use more dirty tricks. But I disagree that we should build an entire political ideology out of that preference, and then pretend it's "leftism."
