    Because the majority of “leftists” are exclusively online and their entire lives revolve around internet points derived from having the best and purest ideologies

      Where do you think the majority of “rightists”, “libertarians”, and “liberals” are spending their time nowadays? The mall? Everybody is terminally online, apparently including you.

          yeah. for a lot of the attitudes i see on lemmy about how politics should work i’m like… where are you? i’m out in these streets and i don’t see you. a lot of what people are calling for don’t work until we have mass support and to have mass support we need people outside.
