Also love how they jump right to assuming I am a right winger because I am disputing their dumb ass take.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I don't think it's in their capacity to acknowledge that they can be outlefted. If you're fully sold on the democrat-republican dichotomy, then there's no room for left critique - you must be a republican.
Liberals genuinely see the institutions themselves as the engine of social progress. According to this worldview, anything which challenges the legitimacy of these institutions challenges social progress itself. It is a complete inability to recognize class struggle as the engine of historical development.
Yeah it's pretty surreal seeing the indoctrination from the outside perspective that we have. It's a shame that the right coopted the term redpill, we should have been all over that. Then again I was like 15 when that movie came out and couldn't have come to that conclusion before the rise of the alt-right and my own left radicalization.
