A letter to the left, I was once one of you

A Letter to the Left To those who still believe, from someone who once did too. I need to tell you something, and I need you to hear me out before you decide what I am. I was one of you. Not in some distant, theoretical way. I was deeply one of you. I marched. I shared the posts. I believed, with total conviction, that the progressive vision of the world was not only morally correct but self-evidently so. Anyone who disagreed was ignorant or malicious. I had Trump Derangement Syndrome, but then, I complained about all politicians. I couldn't see it was a case of choosing the best of'. I had no middle ground. And that's what finally shook me awake: the realisation that I had stopped allowing for middle ground. My thinking had become entirely black and white. I had radicalised"slowly, invisibly"without even noticing it was happening to me.

X posts are now the new Articles? From an Australian?

This looks like a new low from someone you thought couldn't go any lower.

It seems to be where BullBringer is getting all his information from recently.

Between watching clips of child pornography.

X is a great source for racism and pedophilia.

Elon Musk really made it a place he can call home.

From an Australian?

BullBringer is outsourcing his trolling to foreigners agitators.

They're his betters.

~ Corky

We see all sorts of "news articles" from Social media sites. I think the owner of the site prefers not to have links to the actual articles.

A fact not in evidence, counselor.

Not ever even once.

"We" being his fellow hackers in the Chinese "Spamouflage" group.

Spamouflage has been observed on over 50 platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, Pinterest, and Quora.

Most actual news articles have at least some standards, and are less likely to be written by a Kremlin troll farm.

X, not so much.

"this has Hasbara dripping off it."

Zionists used to pretend they were lefties until the embraced their inner white, ethno-supremacist Nazi (for cuddles, of course). Then, during a fight they should've easily won, they took one brutal punch to the face and their liberal toupees got torn off on live television, revealing to the world a swastika carved just above their collective hairlines.

No, but you thought it was worth posting for discussion while you yourself are insanely lacking in self awareness along with nearly every other MAGA moron on where they stand in an actual, objective left/right spectrum.

The only one that makes me laugh harder is when Boaz acts like he's in the middle.

#17 | Posted by jpw at 2026-02-02 02:57 PM

It's hard werk being a Republican these days.

Maybe Jeff and Major B should go all MTG, and at least have a bit of reality on their side... rather than playing footsies wif da Fuehrer all day long making excuses for his atrocities against the People.

#18 | Posted by Corky at 2026-02-02 03:24 PM

This letter drips of fakery. It reads like a childish caricature of what MAGAts believe Democrats to be.

And Trump Derangement Syndrome?!? Based on what the guy has actually done, more like Trump Reality Syndrome.

That's exactly why it sounds so sensible to JeffJ.

Compared to you dips*&^s, I am.

Left of center, but pretty in the middle.

Meanwhile, you half a&&ed support American fascism but want to think you're not extreme right...

This thread is simply a cry for attention from the DR's biggest attention whore.

#23 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-02-02 03:56 PM

" This thread is simply a cry for attention from the DR's biggest attention whore."

He's trying to keep his mind off Trump weaponizing the DOJ, $melania getting a $28 million "licensing fee", daily Constitutional violations of Due Process, and under-trained Gestapo killing American citizens.

You know ... stuff he'd be posting about day and night if things were (D)ifferent.

#24 | Posted by Danforth at 2026-02-02 04:02 PM

Jeffy is like the Boy who cried, "Wolf!"... he gets a lot of attention, but loses any respect he might have had in the process.

#25 | Posted by Corky at 2026-02-02 04:04 PM

-Left of center, but pretty in the middle.

It's hard to see that. Same with myself. I'm very much in the middle but that's not what people assume from my posts.

No they don't they claim "anon sources" then turn out be incorrect, some would call it lying.

Today the left and right "credentialed press" lies without remorse. Explain to me why anyone on SocialMedia should be held to a higher standard.

LOL Middle? You are either a Nazi or a "Liberal", there's no inbetween, just ask Corky, Zed, and Snoofy.

gabe_vibes_only

You can get on social media and ask, "Did he really shit himself?" and everyone immediately understands that you're referring to the President of the United States.

What a time to be alive.

#29 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-02-02 04:38 PM

" they claim "anon sources" then turn out be incorrect"

And that's when the quality publications retract, apologize, and correct the record.

Fox News, by contrast, will tell the truth amongst themselves, then turn around and lie to the public.

$787 million worth of lies.

For instance consider :

1) Borders are fake and should not be policed.
2) That land can be "stolen."

Whats the logic here? Well if you call a Lumper out on any of this you're a fascist.

It's YOUR FANTASY of what they must be, penned by an Always-Trumper pretending to be a Democrat.

OF COURSE you'd fall for it.

One thing you can say about 1NoNuts is that he does have his picture next to a classic definition:

"A person who believes they are above everyone else is often described as having a superiority complex, being a narcissist, or being haughty, smug, or pretentious.

They display an exaggerated sense of self-importance, entitlement, and a tendency to look down on others as inferior."

Even AI has him pegged.
