    So you agree he’s a social fascist, but you find your fellow travelers defending him acceptable or boring? I don’t find that boring, I find that extremely important, fundamental to the left’s failures, disgusting and sickening and worthy of a fucking inquisition. It makes me not want to participate in the western left ever again and just go full on third worldist, because it shows western leftoids are basically all one step away from Hitlerism and have no international solidarity whatsoever. All the new Hitler has to do is offer up free healthcare and it’s a done deal, they all fall into line with the genocidal Democrat Party yet again.

    Just a list of Western “leftists” who have defended Platner and downplayed being a Nazi mercenary:

    Hasan Piker

    Chapo Trap House

    Democracy Now

    The Young Turks

    The Majority Report

    Ryan Grim / Drop Site News

    The Intercept

    Jacobin Magazine

    Current Affairs Magazine

    Bernie Sanders / The Squad / AOC

    Indivisible / Justice Democrats / every other Berniecrat PAC or organization

    Literally the only “popular” leftoids pushing back on Platner was BadEmpanada and Brace Belden.

    These are the most important figures of the “western left” such as it is. They ALL endorsed a Hitlerite. They ALL are completely untrustworthy. They’re not just “imperfect allies” they are literally stating, loud and clear, that they are our class enemies. They are the “imperfect allies” of the Democrats and Republicans who would happily see us dead.

      I agreed with you right up to here. First of all you do not have to hand it to BadEmpanada and he is in no way left. Also anyone that uses the “oid” suffix is very sus. Go the fuck out side dude.

      These are the most important figures of the “western left” such as it is.

      This is terminally online brainrot. These are not the “most important figures” anywhere in any sense. This is what happens when you are too terminally online.

        I will keep saying leftoid until the leftoids improve. They do not get the courtesy of even being called leftist. Hilarious to say I’M the sus one when there’s people in this thread downplaying and defending NAZISM. Explicitly.

        Isn’t is damning how BE was better on this subject than half this website and the entirety of the American “left”? That just further proves my point of how pathetic they are.

        This is terminally online brainrot. These are not the “most important figures” anywhere in any sense. This is what happens when you are too terminally online.

        Bernie Sanders, nearly every single “leftist” media organization and all of the most popular “leftist” entertainers is not “online brainrot” it’s the entire “left”. There is no offline non-brain rotten western left, it doesn’t exist. There’s bernard staffers and hangers-on and there’s online radlibs. That’s it. Opportunists and their audience, made perfectly for each other.

        And before you go there, yes actual principled commie groups do technically exist, I’m being a bit loose with “doesn’t exist” to just mean “is insignificantly small”. I’m in one of them. All of the organizations and streamers and politicians I mentioned are like 100 times more popular and bigger than our organization. We might as well not even exist, we’re 0.00001% of the country.

          Anyone using 4chan incel lingo is sus. That’s a you problem. Sure fuck the people downplaying the danger presented by people like Platner but also fuck people using 4chan lingo to be edgy like you are doing. It makes you sound childish. Nobody talks like that.

            Westoid and leftoid both have tens of thousands of hits on this website when I hit search. -oid far predates 4chan and simply means “pertaining to, loosely”. Go have your language domination games somewhere else please and stop trying to derail the more important subject at hand

              Yes and I hate seeing it. It also has eugenics roots if you look up the term “removed”. Weird hill to die on while praising fuckin BadEmpanada of all people. Mongol with the suffix is rightly in the slur filter.

              My point is you should present your point without using language derived from 4chan Nazis.

                I hate BadEmpanada, I called him a leftoid as well if you re-read my comment. Does that make it sound like I respect his opinion or profession? I used him to demonstrate how fucked the situation is when even he is way better than basically every single ‘leftist’ politician, political organization and cultural commentator.

                It’s like you aren’t following how language is used and works or something. You have weird prescriptivist views that follow from your word policing.

                The suffix -oid means “resembling,” “like,” or “having the form of”. It is often used to denote something that looks or behaves similarly to something else, but is fundamentally distinct (e.g., humanoid, asteroid). Ancient Greek Root: It originates from the Greek word eîdos (εἶδος), meaning “form,” “shape,” or “likeness”. Etymological Evolution: In Greek, it combined with connecting vowels to form the suffix -oeidēs. This evolved into the Latinized form -oīdēs and eventually became the modern English suffix -oid. Historically and currently, this suffix is heavily utilized in mathematics, the sciences, and medical terminology (e.g., cuboid, spheroid, adenoid) to describe geometric shapes, organic structures, and classification
