-Western media(mostly the US), is predominantly right wing.
Indeed.
-every movement has morons among them, whether it's their hypocrisy, lack of knowledge, attitude, bad history, etc., these people tend to be pretty ignorant
I agree
-these people are the ones who ends up on the news to paint leftist as a whole in a bad light for propaganda, and to bring vieweship
I don't know what news you are looking but were I live, liberals don't invite leftists. The far right will sometimes invite leftists but those leftist won't create a bad rep. The bad rep is already existing.
The bad rep exist because the far right is spreading the bad rep, not because some leftist are a bit radical. I never met any one who was dumb enough to associate one radical or wacky behavior with a behavior of the entire group. What will rather happen is that after said interview, said interview will be dissected by far right groups, the hate for the person will expend, sometime toward liberals and THEN, the person will be marginalized by some people of it's own group UNLESS they have a social support.
Trust me on that, we literally witnessed this phenomenon in 4K during the french election: A moral panic was created by the far right because of the support of a specific leftist group for the Palestinian cause.. they propagated the rumors and fake news that said group was antisemitic and since there are porosities between the far right and liberals in France and liberals are pro-Israel, the accusation of anti-semitism started to rain down on the group like crazy.
So much that now in France, instead of having demonized far right, we have a demonized left. And this was absolutely no created because of some lunatics on TV sets. it was an organized plan to take down the legitimacy of the left.
Said plan which later made confused social democrats at the right of the softest leftist party turn AGAINST the entire leftist movement NFP !
For what ? The same reason as you :
They listened to far right and liberal moral panics about leftists.
-Given your attitude and actions, you are one of these people who would be used to demonize leftist and push progress back decades
Yes. I am. That's LITERALLY the point I'm making.
The reason for that is that my point of view is a REAL leftist one and therefore something that is dangerous for liberals and far rightist as a all. So of course, if people like me were dumb enough to come unprepared to interviews, we would be used as point of evidences to demonize the left.
But what you don't realize, is that real leftist are not liberals. The soft leftists that you are used to are NOT considered as leftist where I live. Where I live, my opinion is not even radical and I could LITERALLY be considered a softy because I make a BIG case of constantly stayin respectfull to people here. Most of the politics and activists I know would be a lot more vehement than me here.
I'm a teddy bear in comparison.
I'm constantly making the work of explaining and repeating things. 95% of my post are meant to expend the subject and being pedagogic about what I'm trying to share. I'm NEVER angry against people here and I'm always willing to give a second chance, even when I'm being insulted and laughed at constantly.
The activists that I'm talking about would see some of the comments. Report. Wait a day or two and talk to the mods about the problem and if the problem is not resolved quickly by the moderation or laughed at... would literally report the post to the authority before quitting the forum for good and sharing the site to prevent people from coming in.
Bro.. you guys are lucky that One Piece is mostly filled with an apolitical fanbase.. I think you don't understand that I'm a CHILL and a VERY patient guy. And this EVEN when I know that crazy stuff are being said.
Don't blindly take my passionnate behavior for a crazy one. I'm actually trying to be your ally 95% of the time on this forum. This is (ironically), something I kept from my liberal years.
You keep thinking some people on this site have issues with leftism as a whole when in reality, it's just you.
It's not a thinking. It's an observation. Very basic things such as the mention of socials sciences and the inexistence of meritocracy are laughed at like crazy.
You might think that people are only laughing at me, but it's not the case. While yes, people will make fun of my point of view, they are fundamentally opposed to what I say.
I literally can and have started LARGE discussions with a SIMPLE sentence.
It has NOTHING to do with my behavior but the fact that I know EXACTLY what people will react to. The reason for that is that I know who the political demographic of this forum is for the most part. It's not even a mystery, it's just obvious.
It just happen that leftists ideas are opposed to values shared by a LOT of people here. People that are not used to see real leftist since they are used to the liberal version of progressism. And sometimes, it includes you as well.
