>>731931My only guess is that Leftypol tends to draw in people with a background in "normal" /pol/ who've read enough books to jump ship to leftism, but still cling on to a lot of /pol/-type ideology.
All rightoid thought, be it gamergay lolbertarianism or out-and-out fascism, can ultimately be boiled down to one singular error; a faulty chain of causality. In the mind of the rightoid, everything starts with an idea by an individual. This idea then makes its way further and further up the chain of command, eventually reaching the government. The government then passes laws and makes rulings, and if these laws and rulings are good, they lead to a successful economy, and if they aren't, they lead to a bad economy.
It's a way of thinking that assumes ideas and individuals are what move history, and that politics are what drives economics. It's obviously wrong as soon as you apply even the slightest bit of critical thought, but if you're not used to questioning things it
feels correct. It's also what every /pol/ migrant subconsciously believes, and is why they're so obsessed with gay sex and children's genitals.
The boring truth about leftism is that, for anyone that actually takes it seriously, hot button culture war issues are generally at the very bottom of the list of priorities. When push comes to shove, the immediate needs, not the wants, of the real movement are all that matters. Social policy is something that follows from that, and is entirely contingent on time and place.
