The emergence of capitalism is recent and things have accelerated faster than people can adapt to. We are used to foraging, hunting, farming, fishing, or scavenging. But now you can work in the rat wheel for 8 hours a day for five days a week, at minimum, to be able to afford obesity, rentals, and carcinogenic drugs. Capitalism is awkward to humankind; we are used to frolicking freely in the sun.

For a brief moment from 2016-2022 this was supposedly the pinnacle of online left-wing politics. Bernie was about to win, Democratic socialism was the future, China would inevitably democratize and the old boring MLism was dead. A few DSA-backed candidates winning city council seats in already progressive districts was treated as if the Bolsheviks had just stormed the Winter Palace.

The most ridiculous part was that the supposed divide between the Dirtbag Left and the DSA left barely existed. They agreed on healthcare, labor, foreign policy, housing, policing and virtually every other major issue. The defining ideological conflict of the era was essentially whether you were allowed to make edgy 90's raunch comedy jokes on podcasts. Entire feuds and endless Twitter meltdowns emerged from a disagreement that amounted to "can you say slurs ironically?"

The confidence was incredible, leftist genuinely talked as if DSA-aligned leadership of every major American city was inevitable, as if Bernie was one good news cycle away from the White House and as if a handful of podcasts by stand up comedians had somehow cracked the code of political history.
In retrospect, it all seems absurd. There was never a realistic path to any of it. The movement's grandest ambitions had essentially zero chance of materializing.

Then reality intervened. Bernie lost, The post-COVID world arrivedm Housing crises worsened, Migration became politically explosive, Major wars returnedm China didn't democratize and instead looked increasingly capable of navigating long-term crises without becoming a Western liberal democracy and the assumptions underlying the entire scene collapsed one by one.

A lot of the old supporters ended up as tankies. A smaller but noticeable number drifted toward the far right. Sometimes they somehow became both at once. The aesthetic transformation is almost as funny as the political one, the old Dirtbag Left revolved around schlubby podcasters making jokes about being ironically gay, the people who inherited its audience are often obsessed with MMA, military history, geopolitical realism and posting shirtless workout photos. The few remaining loyalists seem to have finally realized that their politics were never meaningfully different from the DSA's in the first place and appear perfectly content settling into the role of ordinary progressive liberals.

What a strange, stupid little farce that was.

Can we already say the alt-right was a massive failure?

Far-right AfD wins key German state election but falls just short of majority
That was far ahead of Merz’s CDU , which polled 17.2% – losing about half its support – and won 15 seats. The centre-left Social Democrats polled 9.3%, the Greens 8.9% and the Left party 8.6%, winning eight seats apiece. The BSW party, which has said it would not elect either Siegmund or incumbent Sven Schulze as governor but criticises the “firewall” against AfD, took 5.3% and five seats. Participation in the election was at a record high of 76.5%.

Everything just feels like that it's in a standstill and nobody understands each other and we're all speaking different languages. What's the one thing that would solve every misunderstanding and everything?

I used to be a communist for a long time roughly about seven years before I got exposed into Far-right reactionary ideologies like Nazism stuff till I realised all my efforts were nothing but larp. Because I am an ethnic minority from Bangladesh I had to realize I dont have the privilege as the majority population to have the audacity to speak against them as the outcome will be severe. There is a rising surge radical Islamist and Bengali-Nationalist sentiment after the collapse of Seikh Hasina back in 2024 as there have been already communal riots against my fellow indigenous people in Chittagong hill tracts. This made me to realize the hard truth reactionary ideologies being vile. I want to renounce my fascist views that I have accumulated from recent years. I want to repent for what I have done. I once again want to embrace the enlightened ideals of Marxism-leninism.

These fags want to remove the age of consent laws and normalize pedophilia
They think Trump will do that by making people ignore his involvement in child abuse
