StrypeyI have to begrudgingly respect the genius of the PR offensives that convinced a whole generation of young activists to accept a whole suite of profoundly illiberal #neoconservative policies as "#liberal" or "#left"; hating on #SexWorkers and pornography as "anti-feminist", hating on #Palestinian solidarity as "anti-semitic", criticism of #financialization or #globalization the same, supporting enclosing #IndigenousKnowledge as "IP" as a supposed defence against "#CulturalAppropriation", etc, etc

They are insidious. The #fauxLeft in the US also vicerally despise third party candidates like #JillStein because they think he Dems are a valid choice still, and due to a lack of a #preferentialVoting system (aka #rankChoiceVoting) they attack the true left alternatives.
The US is on the decline though. Their #neoliberal model has failed - it's just a matter of time now.
