I’m horrible at putting my thoughts to words, but stay with me here.
Don’t get me wrong, if woot, joey, DH, or any other of their ilk were on fire I wouldn’t even piss on them. But I still believe a decent amount of self-admitted progressives are misled, misinformed, or straight up manipulated. If not because leftist goals and “morals” are shilled harder than any religious cult could hope to, then because opposition to these goals feels practically verboten in nearly every public forum/social media that isn’t already an echo chamber for the right.
I don’t want to hate them by default because I don’t believe the entire group genuinely thinks the world is black and white, where the choice between “their side” and “my side” is a binary choice between good and evil. The loudest voices, perhaps, but not the average person who makes a few youtube comments or stands in a crowd for six hours. Maybe I’m wrong and it’s better to wait until one gives me a reason not to hate. I don’t know. It’s certainly appealing when you see people wishing injury, death, or imprisonment on someone they’ve never met because you don’t agree with them on every topic.
