    To my endless frustration leftwing thought and policy is popular until someone knows it’s left wing.

    I spend so much time talking to people and skirting around terminology/avoiding describing things in clear terms because they set off alarm bells.

    As you say everyone gets that we’re screwed and pitted against each other while dipshits up top have their snouts in the trough. There is a spectrum on how far we ought to go to address this but it’s also really hard to get any action out of people because they’ll nod along until you try point them at a union or something and then the propaganda kicks in.
