        You’re throwing away a genuine opportunity to add clarity and start a discussion with a likeminded person because you’re offended? How on earth do you expect to progress unless we can talk about our ideas?

          I doubt they’re offended. It’s more likely that, as a leftist, they are justifiably concerned about being provoked into making illegal (if morally justified) threats. There’s a long history of state agents infiltrating leftist spaces to provoke illegal behavior (which is often made illegal specifically to target leftists).

        If you say shit like this, you’re not a leftist, you’re just a memer. Practical outcomes and actionability are always more important than your petty puerile impulse for myopic catharsis. Introspect and do better.

          Yes, but also, your question is not genuine. If you are leftist, you are well aware of the deterioration of democracy and if you need someone to spell it out for you. Well then, if you are not paying attention and claim to be a leftist, what are you a leftist about? Because from the left it is quite obvious why they are scared.
