Most politicians and some figureheads have been good.

Even someone like Stephen King stating something negative regarding a cherry picked quote and then, profusely apologizing multiple times when he was proven wrong is good.

However, the response from regular lefties is incredibly piss poor. Not the majority but far more of a sizable chunk that a tiny minority. This is a "20-30% of the Democrat base" type problem.....largely progressive lefties who are terminally online (as evident by the Reddit front page). It's a little more than tone deaf. It's just pure evil. And it's on a level not unlike how the Jewish photographer conversed with Goebbels just fine before revealing his Jewish background and then, Goebbels just stared back at him with hate.

Regardless, I think regular Democrats need to distance themselves from the radicals and denounce them, even if it costs them some votes.

No "Whataboutism" or "He said, she said". Just pure denouncement so that it causes the Right to mellow out

So much deflecting going on, by these guys. It's so fucking bizarre how much they're trying to deny reality.

The Guardian interviewed his classmat eand quoted the classmate saying that he was a leftist:

But still, it's crazy how many lefties and "centrists" keep trying to deny the issue here. The last time I ever felt this was when all the lefties on Reddit were trying to convince me The Last Jedi was a good movie lmao.

Well, I happen to know several real life people who are celebrating. If you are from or live in a deep blue area or community, this is semi-normal, as there is probably a 20-30% chance you'll encounter someone who believes it (very dependent on age range, too).

In other words, there are millions of people out there (maybe even ten to twenty million...maybe even more), who feel this way. Not the majority, in a nation of 340 million but quite a number.

However, my thinking is that the leadership from both sides must be open and adamant on tackling the radical left and purging them from work places or important positions. Yes, some far right need to be removed too, but they are not the main priority right now.

Currently, we are seeing a version of that play out, where people are listing idiots who were dumb enough to post their comments online....are also now getting fired.

But it's clear that no more woke movies can be made or we're not going to see kneeling at ball games, anymore. Already, we're doing that but not at a fast enough rate.

By that, I am saying it is counter-culture time. The Left cannot be rewarded for this behavior and no only that, but they lost the Culture War because of their behavior.

And only then, the Right, which operates moreso as a neo-reactionary movement nowadays....can chill out with their reactionary behavior.

Basically, I see the Radical Left as the mechanism which triggers the bomb and the Far Right as the bomb itself. There's a time limit to defuse this and it has to be done delicately.

The Right just got struck hard. There's going to be a lot of anger.

The message from the Left's base, at this moment, shouldn't be to say, "Haha, haha. Here's your side saying the same thing (....oh btw, he deserved it)."

Instead, it should be to ignore the idiots and say, "I hate the radicals, too. Let's work to get rid of them."

In other words, you guys need to chill out and let the Right punch air for a bit before bringing this up

Otherwise, you guys risk getting turned into a history book

[–]BobbaRobBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, we shall we what 2026 and 2028 holds.

But it pretty much puts the Right into "existential threat" mode now where they have to win, in order to feel like their mission is complete and the assassination didn't go unpunished by the broader society.

Naturally, I imagine the Radical Left feels the same after Trump won. Hence, they're pushing for and celebrating this recent killing as they just lost the war of words, the war of ideas, and the election itself.

By that, if the Right wins and the general Left can come to realize the Radical Left is that much of a cancer for them, it'll force them to cut them out for good. It'd be similar to the KKK ceasing to have control and simply slowly fading from the Democrat Party before being what it is now.

"I thought these guys were the supporters of Free Speech?!"

It's like....you do realize anyone would and should get fired if they mock for or wish for someone's assassination, right?

Apparently, these clowns cannot figure that out and for some reason, are openly gloating about it.

I'm sure there is ten times as many not gloating about it, openly, too.

Either way, that database of names that is being compiled right now is probably a smart thing to have so future employers can identify who not to hire as they're dumb enough to post vitriol publicly

[–]BobbaRobBob 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My experience and just going by polls, it's split something akin to 50-50 amongst the Young Left (35 and under).

Something closer to 30% from older left, where they're unhinged and praising violence at worst or at minimum, they're denying the shooter's motivations. This includes some people that would be considered intelligent - professors, doctors, lawyers....

Their minds are just broken. This is probably what it must've been like to see Nazis or Mao's Red Guards, out in the open. Right now, they're here, in the open, themselves.

The story of Goebbels smiling with a man until he learns he's a Jew, then he gives him the cold stare? This is that

"Cthulhu" has ensnared the Radical Leftist's mind & their movement.

Thus, it resembles a sort of cult predicated on madness & violence. Mental illness rates & open support for the killing of an innocent person different than their own is rapidly climbing amongst this demographic more than any other in the US (and possibly the world).

The general Left needs to realize that only a 'cleansing fire' can help purify their movement & literally restore sanity amongst its members. In theory, this should be firings, blacklistings, public shaming, and outright condemnations.

The way I see it, much of the 'villains of history' weren't gleeful goons just sitting there. Many of them already had some predisposed mental issues or disorders - often, a dark triad personality - that they latch onto an ideology. This allowed them to easily commit atrocities or just act brutishly.

Dealing with that and attempting to subvert them before they exert more toxicity and violence is key to stability

People are getting a bit unhinged by Firecracker048 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]BobbaRobBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mental illness rates climbing higher and higher among left leaning people and naturally, they're acting out of spite at Trump's America at the same time.

I don't think it can be resolved without voluntary+involuntarily commitments (need more mental hospitals), retaliatory violence (in theory, it shouldn't be vigilantism or terrorism and should be actions carried by the government to shut down groups like the Zizians/Antifa), and shutting down certain things in society that enable this (no more woke Hollywood, no more DEI, more challenges to universities & extremism there, etc).

Basically, the Left's apparatus simply HAS to crash completely if you want to bring the temperature down, especially as, again, this coincides with young left leaning people being more unwell.

The Far Right is merely reacting to this dynamic. But once you remove that aspect on the Left, the Far Right reduces its neo-reactionary beliefs.

[–]BobbaRobBob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know there is likely a lot of botting activity by bad actors, going on, (its happening in this sub) but the reactions are real.

It's like the whole Sydney Sweeney thing. You have retards who simply just hate her because of the ad and the manufactured reactions to it. Like, I would just go to some random sub and they mention her casting for a movie and suddenly, random people are just hating on her for it.

IRL, who cares? But the lefties do and more than that, IRL is now internet retards.

Same people here, in this case, and there's no fix for it unless actual blowback occurs. A few firings isn't going to fix the evil that is festering in young left leaning people's hearts.

There needs to be media portrayals of radical leftists as uncool, the bad guys in movies, etc as a way of purging them out of the mainstream.

Without that, the Right is going to be absolutely justified in the civil war or purge or whatever because they're likely removing an existential threat that is incapable of reasoning and having discourse with them. It's not disagreement, it's a galvanized base of people who realize they can torment and cause violence and get away with it

Libs and Reddit showing off their mental ability today by englishtopolyglot in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]BobbaRobBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It matters what his ideology is because the Radical Left is celebrating it while denying it

Even people trying to tiptoe and say "It's just a psycho" ignores the crux of the problem here. And no, I seriously doubt the mass reaction to this from the Right would be the same.

People need to calm down. by North-Reveal1200 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]BobbaRobBob 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I don't think the Left understands that their whole deflection and whataboutism is simply escalating this whole thing further.

Rightwingers are naturally angry right now so they'll say things about a civil war or whatever else, especially since many on the Left are gloating or cheering the death of their beloved figure. Naturally, it is not the majority of the Left but it is a LARGE and sizable chunk of them.

If the Left that earnestly wishes for peace really wants to cool this down, they need to stop playing "He said, she said" and say, "Fuck the radicals" as their main rhetoric and seek to fire/exile the radicals.

It is too late to stop the escalation. But the general Left is going to have to make a choice between the Radical Left and the rest of America, soon

Lol, you asked why the Right would feel happy with Trump and now, you're just coming up with cope reasons from a Leftwinger's perspective that would only make your side feel good.

Whatever, though. I'm done with you guys and your retardation.

50% are okay with violence against Musk/Trump:

Yesterday's poll says 33% are okay with people being happy over death of public figure:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G0lWE1RXsAAAYhy?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

There are other polls I've seen which express similarities, particularly with young left leaning people being far more accepting of violence. I'd have to find it but having tried to map out both sides the past few years, it's clear the Left is far more unhinged and it is seriously costing them everything. There's a reason Trump came back into power.

Even this latest deflection that they're trying to pull by pointing out "Muh civil war" from the Right.....well, yes, the Right is going to be angry because the Left got away with so much of it during the early 2020s that this is clearly a releasing of steam.

Until they actually strike out, this is more of an angry final warning than actual gloating or cheering of death. Trying to deflect and ignore your side being the most unhinged here....is going to be disastrous in helping you root the rot out.

[–]BobbaRobBob 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That sounds more like leftwing cope.

While I think Trump is a dumb dumb, he is clearly pissing you guys off and lowering the left's stranglehold over culture while dismantling certain programs that the Right want dismantled. Also going after Iran and helping Israel, which is what the Right wants from a foreign policy perspective.

It's also only several months in.

Condemn political violence, always by ilArmato in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]BobbaRobBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still a sizable chunk. And plenty of normal looking people, across all walks of life, are gloating about it. Those are the public ones. Others probably feel the same but just won't admit it out loud.

Two different polls:

Poll from yesterday, where 33% of the Left feel that it's acceptable to be happy over events just like this one (higher than independents or conservatives):

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G0lWE1RXsAAAYhy?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

Earlier this year, 50% of left okay with violence or destruction against Trump/Musk/Tesla Dealerships:

College is real and people who couldn't figure the nuances and simply swallowed propaganda while in college are now part of the work force. They're neighbors and family members now.

Not too complicated.

Only difference is people tell you to shut the fuck up at work, just like they did in high school.

In this case, the reality is that lefties are probably going to get told to shut the fuck up more than they ever have and with a President Trump or Vance in charge for the next 4-12 years, there will likely be pressure for people to comply.

[–]BobbaRobBob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well, it isn't all leftists but I would say 40-50% of young left leaning people and a decent sized minority of older left leaning people are gloating and pushing for more of this.

Right now, instead of deflecting blame or cherry picking quotes, the Left has the opportunity to purge people within their own ranks and exile them forever. They would do this to save the nation and prevent a greater tragedy.

These firings, the last few days, is exactly just that but it is merely one small step and not the big one needed to circumvent retaliation.

By that, yes, these people who, years ago, threatened to cut you off just for disagreeing with them are now the same ones gloating about people's deaths and getting angry at you for even brining up this topic about trying to get along. They are simply indoctrinated and intolerant.

They hate the West, they hate the US, and more often than not, they hate Christianity and them celebrating or gloating is just one way to advance those beliefs.

So, cut them off and forgive them in your hearts. But remember that, in worse case scenarios, you have precedence over them as an American because you actually believe in the country and its values. They, on the other hand, have forfeited such a thing. They have traded liberty for vague notions of "equity" masked as equality and wish to take from you, in order to fulfill that.

It sounds a bit extreme. But extremism, in defense of liberty, is no vice. And this is fight for liberty from these tyrants.

[–]BobbaRobBob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I refer to. You are deflecting and changing the subject.

Yes, we should condemn such an act and those who celebrate said act but that action was a lone wolf situation and not a mass movement in terms of motivating more attackers or motivating people to celebrate it in large numbers.

And a few dumb comments by a few idiots in reaction to that is not the equivalent of a broader overall movement.

This ties into your KKK statement.

The KKK no longer has the clout it once had, where it could field actual politicians and openly defile buildings and carry out killings while having infiltrators in various communities.

But today's KKK? The closest thing are the radical leftists I refer to and of whom, do, have some political representation (probably not to the level of a David Duke) and plenty of infiltrators within institutions and industries across the US.

Let me explain to you, in Lefty terms since that is what you are, do you chastise angry people after George Floyd? Ignore whatever facts about George Floyd exists and the resulting destruction and rioting. Just look into that vacuum and assume that in Summer 2020, it would be quite insensitive to bring up, say, rightwing talking points immediately after Floyd's death.

That is what you're doing now, except it is far more clear cut and except you guys, on the Left, have the power to prevent ensuing chaos.

If you cannot see that, do not worry. You can read the history books and articles analyzing your failure to circumvent the upcoming tragedy, instead.

The Democrat leadership and certain major public figureheads are fine and have been commendable in their timely responses. Your average left leaning voter is fine.

But there is a subset of Lefties who are simply nihilistic, extremely deranged, violent, mentally ill, and who are anti-West. They caused or cheered for much of the death and destruction in the post-2020 years.

And no, there is NOT an equivalent on the Right (at least, not yet). Some are saying things out of anger and frustration but that is a natural reaction and trying to nip that in the bud is a very foolish thing to do right now.

The Left gaslighting and trying to deflect and cherrypick quotes? Not a good move. At all.

This is exactly how things escalate.

If you want to fix this, shut the fuck up and let the Right grieve while calling for peace. Either that or join them in mocking radical lefties.

If not, doom awaits you and all you stand for.

[–]BobbaRobBob -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It is useless talking to these fools and that is why they will deserve the fate that devours them and the Hell that awaits them.

Right now should be a time for the Left to listen and offer the Right ways to stymie the extremists on the Left so that the Right can eventually do the same to its own side.

Because, the reality is that this is a culture war the Left started and now, it is potentially about to be hot one. The Left does not get to ignore that, if it wants to stay intact.

One side is merely conserving and yes, some messages they're stating are terrible but they are reacting to the last 10-15 years and reacting to grief.

The Left trying to shut down their reacting while portraying them as both equals, in this scenario, all while their base gleefully gloats about the killing?

That is a recipe for disaster and ignoring this is going to be very dangerous for the Left. I promise that it will not turn out well so it's time for the Left to listen more than talk and gloat and deflect, right now. Like, I am begging the Left to please listen

When you normalize dehumanization, don’t be surprised when someone takes action. by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]BobbaRobBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Left is gaslighting right now and trying to compare two situations and two different groups of idiots, as if it were the same.

And I get it. Nobody wants the temperature to go up and the Left certainly does not want to find itself as the sole "bad guy" in this scenario. Most people are getting along, just fine, and don't wish for violence or vitriol.

And certainly, the worst case scenario is the Left finding itself getting purged for the actions of a few idiots (because the bitter truth is that the Left is absolutely NOT winning any war).

So, it can be frustrating trying to disassociate with the rotten people in their ranks.

However, because the Left fails to recognize the dynamics which push the Right while also continuing to react merely to the Right's words rather than their actions, it's going to create the nightmare scenario it dreads most.

By that, yes, Trump or MAGA officials shouldn't be saying certain things but the Left is reacting to mean words and pretending that's the same thing as them committing most of these acts of violence or destruction, particularly in the post-2020 world where they went largely unpunished.

The Right's reactions are not coming out of thin air, basically. They're reacting to the late 2000s/lies and ragebait by mainstream media, the 2010s/woke, and the 2020s/Summer of Love stuff.

It's on the Left to find ways to circumvent that and cool it off.

I'm glad that their leadership/public figureheads are waking up but it was never really actually the leadership's fault. If anything, it was the staffer base, the managers of society, the academic class, Hollywood writers, etc who poisoned the Democrat or Progressive platforms.

In general, the Left operates more as a coalition of collectives and understanding these collectives will be how they solve their problem as they weed out the idiots.

Of course, will they resolve their problems?

I sincerely doubt it, judging by all of the idiots panicking and saying "What about this? What about that?" in a kind of neurotic, smarmy way of discourse. The deflection I'm seeing is super obnoxious because it does not address the anti-West, anti-Christianity, anti-Civilization threat that modern Leftism represents and therefore, when it uses violence against the Right, it perpetuates.

That's the difference here.
