#circularfiringsquad — Public Fediverse posts

Never ceases to amaze me, the time and energy some people who profess to be progressive have to mount attacks on and sling insults at those who share their goals. All that energy that could be put into building together, pushing back against an organized and hateful and powerful fascist movement.

The willingness to fragment and fray solidarity over unimportant matters: I truly don't get it and never will get it.

OED below:

"I feel very strongly that we in the lefty world ask for perfection from everyone and are too often damning of those who we agree with 90 percent of the time, but might not agree with 10 percent of the time. Social media makes this worse; all those likes reinforce our most exclusive elements."

~ Erik Loomis

Amen. The silly purism and lack of solidarity of many lefties in face of rising fascism: just nutty.

“What I care about is that at a time when we need to start establishing means of accountability for a second Trump term, much of the Democratic world has chosen instead to wallow in false claims about the Trump investigation in order to make _Garland_ a scapegoat, rather than the guy directly responsible, John Roberts. It’s classical conspiracy thinking.”
