    What people don't understand is that we need to challenge ourselves constantly to learn better how to help and raise up those who need us at any particular moment. We can't assume what helps us at one time will always help us or will always help others. Challenges are personal and timely. Seeing human dignity in even the worst of the worst is the ultimate love and aid. It's really hard to do. But when you're willing, you will be able to help more people and be destructive to less people. We need everyone to help everyone. The more you box up people according to that, which they can not control, the more you dehumanize them. And that is the ultimate sin of discrimination and enslavement.

    "Why I left the Left" Because there was money to be made as a black conservative grifter. If you want to criticize some of the cultural issues of the Far Left, that is 100% fair. Trans issue, everything is racist, etc, I am actually here for a lot of that. However, if you then try to tell me that tax breaks for the wealthy has not destroyed the middle class, I'd have to tell you, you are not talking to some right wing sheep. There is no ACTUAL Left in our government, and you are smart enough to know this. We have Firmly RIght Republicans, and Center Right Democrats (with the exception of said culture war bs niche issues). Under the RIght Wing, minimum wage has stagnated, jobs have gone overseas, the gap between CEOs and workers has never been larger, and other peer countries have left us behind in healthcare and education. So please, enjoy your grift money, but save the bs.

    It's failed education and law. Freedom is important, but whatever the case, there should be a baseline. And that is the problem here as there is no baseline to define the freedom. So it eventually get abused and got many things taken out of context in the name of freedom and rights. This is self destruction

    Reformed leftists are liars. They still support the core aspects of the things they "turned away" from and they never substantiate WHY they were susceptible or naturally leftist in the first place.

    I sat next to a lady, on a train, in Thailand. I was semi-asleep on my rucksack which was on the floor in front of me, arms crossed and I woke up to her trying to pull the hairs off my forearm. She thought I was so rich that I had golden hair implants. We laughed together. This was before 'micro aggression' even existed.

    I can understand not liking democrats but then to think Republicans are better? That's just embarrassing. Both political parties are a joke, but democrats do way better than Republicans. Republicans advocate for child labor, they want to lower the age of consent and when they can marry someone, fight against food for school children, they want to cut social programs like social security, they fight against raising the minimum wage, they fight against unions, Republicans always add way more to the national debt, the kkk supports the republican party, they support lowering taxes for the ultra rich, Trump outsourced 200,000 jobs, they fight against an infrastructure bill that would bring the US up to code and would add thousands of jobs, Christian Republicans want to blur the line between separation of church and state, etc. Understanding that democrats are corrupt due to a deeper understanding of how politics works is great, but to think the Republicans are better? You're missing the point and not as understanding of how politics works...

    What's sad about this woke society is that most of the support came from people like me who believed that leading the world with kindness and acceptance was a good thing, until I got attacked for not going all the way and questioning things like pronouns.. I was labeled a hater and a phobe, which is difficult for me to hear with having such empathetic values.. Now I see the straight up narcissism in the movement and see so much hate and intolerance from the very people who claim to advocate for love and acceptance. Their true motive is likes and attention.

    • @gerdlunau8411

      Having the same problem increasingly over here, I believe there is also a very selfish motive behind these people - trying to gain advantage and advance without achievement like quotas for the "oppressed", lowering academic standards according to ones whereabouts etc. Kicking a well respected teacher or professor off a campus by intrigue always increases the chance for the next one to be more "soft" on the culprits of the turmoil when it comes down to academic levels and facts. The worse part of this is the betrayal of (young) people coming from true difficult communities and / or families and still marvelling with their spirit to work hard and learn diligently besides the odds. Peace! from Dresden / Germany

      every hierarchy of ability is a bell curve (IQ bell curve) with few at the top and bottom and the majority in the MIDDLE. capitalism is an artificial PYRAMID hierarchy. /\ pyramid hierarchies are social constructs and are integral to capitalism/profit, there has to be a very large base of low paid workers in a capitalist hierarchy in order for profit to be generated, profit is literally impossible in a natural bell curve hierarchy. capitalism is unethical and abusive because of that fact

    Why were you ever a Leftist? I find it disgusting. Like a white person saying "...once I was a racist and hated black folk, I would attack them." ....BUT now I don't. You were still disgusting back then.

      That's nuts. The media isn't saying "come to the left we hate white people, we want to ruin the lives of people" they hide behind really good words like CHOICE and When they go low we go high they spin the narrative on almost everything. What she said was WHEN I FIRST saw how racist it was it bothered me". If we have this idea that people can't wake up to TRUTH than we will never win or make this country great again.

    The Left is socialist - much like in public schools. When students enter the real world they carry a certain amount of wariness and fear, which drives them to gravitate towards their peers for protection. This is why you see that most people in the Left are young - they view ideas they don't fully understand as a threat to their safe zones, and predictably they rebel against them. It's through time and maturity that they realize those concerns of theirs are no longer useful, and that they need to move on. This is especially true for women, who have a limited amount of time to fulfill their destinies as females to become mothers and raise their families - preferably with their husbands.

    I sounds like she was never left of “liberal”. We see often that the liberal middle (Obama, Clinton, Sanders, OCS) has failed to solve the problems of capitalism. Many are consequently turning to the right and the far right. The anti-capitalist left is based on the science of dialectic materialism. I dont think this person is familiar with our science. We on the far left base our views on this science, not on a morality in the sense that she uses the concept. Interestingly, if she is now a conservative, why does she not speak of her conservative views?
