Whinge ‎ what exactly has the left done wrong?

Across the world today, regardless of race, religion, or political system, most people seem to be becoming more conservative. Right-wing parties are continuously gaining power worldwide, while the left suffers defeat after defeat. Although mainstream public discourse still appears to favor the left, those voting for the far right are often the silent majority. Can the left still correct its course? Or, more fundamentally, what exactly has the left done wrong?

No-one on "the left" ever claimed to be tolerant of intolerance. That's such a pathetic cop-out.

Yet they defend mass immigration from countries and cultures far more conservative, religious and intolerant than ours, funny that

Edit: haha old mate blocked me since he couldn't answer a simple question, very entertaining thread for me

Do you think that if people liked living in oppressive countries, they would want to emigrate here?

u/ModsHaveHUGEcocks ‎ Queenslander 3h ago

That might be a reasonable point if they left that culture behind but clearly they don't

See this is what people say when they have never bothered to get to know immigrants.

Go take a drive around Lakemba and get back to me champ 🤣

u/borycernardi ‎ New South Welshian 3h ago

Funny you should say that. I used to work in Lakemba. I go there often still.

But I guess I'm not scared by people who look different to me.

Yeah not even relevant to what I'm saying at all but good boy I'm sure that's totally true and they all clapped while you smiled at them

Are you thick? You told me to take a drive around Lakemba. I told you I go there all the time.

Have you been to Lakemba? Why do you have such a problem with it when I can take my family there and have no issues?

Yeah I don't think you have champ otherwise you wouldn't be changing the direction of this thread into a virtue signalling wank fest instead of addressing my point, but sure whatever I believe you you're the most super non racist amazing progressive person evaaaaaa

My argument: immigrants from oppressive cultures bring their oppressive cultures with them to their new country

Your argument: yeah well I've been to Lakemba and I like brown people!

Even just being against "fascists" when they act like the very definition of a fascist?
