Every liberal, they are reborn anew each day with no memories whatsoever of the past

I just have to keep telling myself, most extreme online liberals were born after 9/11 or were very young. Hell, I was only 13.

Not a defense though. Just something to keep my blood pressure low. The only problem, is every twenty years there's a new crop of people refusing to listen to anyone who was there or learn from history in any way. They just love catchy phrases that make them feel smart

    It's wild to me having been a teen during 9/11, so many memories coming back of a truly dark time. And you got liberals older than me repeating literally the same talking points.

    I was 13 And interested in the military. I had so many brainworms to undo. It only took me smoking some weed and listening to hippie music to break me out of the dominator culture narrative

    If only, it seems like they don't apply deduction to anything causing cognitive dissonance. Same shit with cia/fbi - "yeah they did fucked up shit up to %date_of_declassification%, but that's not a reason to mistrust them" but simultaneously they believe in "institutional memory". It is a choose-one situation and yet 🤷

    As much as I'm sick of annoying internet phrases like "cognitive dissonance", they wouldn't be libs without it.

    The weird thing is I was also in my young teens, but seeing the libs dunking on Bush like they did Trump - with the same ineffectualness - plus things like protest music and Michael Moore, actually helped prime me for being a communist later in life.

    I remember questioning everything, never trusting the news, and now to see people fall for this shit again and again since 2014ish is fucking maddening.

    When the war was in full swing, I used to go to all the rallies. After I realized nobody was there to actually do anything effective, I knew these weren't my people. 15 year old me was smoking pot and reading Abbie Hoffman. I fancied myself as an old school 60's leftist, still kinda do. I would come into the protests all full of piss and vinegar, and I would get told by the old folks there I was doing it wrong. Fuck them. Fuck them so hard!
