You mean basic human decency?
Like, can you give one example of what you're complaining about as an unrealistic standard?
I am pro basic human decency, I just wish more online leftists realize you get things done with a big tent. Perfect is the enemy of good.
Fred Hampton wasn’t killed by the FBI because he had the most stringent purity tests, he was killed cause he was able to convince a lot of people to come under his tent to fight for workers.
So....
Does that mean you can't give a single example of what your complaining about?
Gun ownership. Leftist groups NEED gun owners, but will turn their nose up at them and call them Nazi's.
The most amazing thing gun culture in the US did was get liberals to disarms themselves willingly by falsely associating gun ownership with toxic masculinity and conservative values.
Read Marx. Acquire guns.
Not if they are far enough left (as you allude to) or otherwise practically minded, I've found. We are few but we are out there. Self defense is an intrinsic right of living beings, period, the end.
