Also love how they jump right to assuming I am a right winger because I am disputing their dumb ass take.

Every single time, without fail, they assume, as though more certain than they are of their own existence, that the person raising the (valid) point is a republican. Despite the blatantly transparent fact that the statement in question never invokes 'the libs', 'triggered', 'maga', or tags all of the alphabet security agencies, they always fucking rattrap themselves into thinking that anything other than facile patronisation is tantamount to fully supporting whatever it is they're chastising.
How do they see something like "consequences of capitalism" and still think "Hurr, durr, REPUBLICAN! NEXT!"?

    I mean they could just look at my pfp and realize I'm definitely not a republican.

    I don't think it's in their capacity to acknowledge that they can be outlefted. If you're fully sold on the democrat-republican dichotomy, then there's no room for left critique - you must be a republican.

    Yeah it's pretty surreal seeing the indoctrination from the outside perspective that we have. It's a shame that the right coopted the term redpill, we should have been all over that. Then again I was like 15 when that movie came out and couldn't have come to that conclusion before the rise of the alt-right and my own left radicalization.

    Liberals genuinely see the institutions themselves as the engine of social progress. According to this worldview, anything which challenges the legitimacy of these institutions challenges social progress itself. It is a complete inability to recognize class struggle as the engine of historical development.
