The right have been a more or less hegemonic force since the 80s. There is a reason why I spend hours online. The reason why the right can do all this is because they get paid to. They get millions of funding thrown at them by oligarchs, that’s why they are so visible not because they’re some creative marketing geniuses. Like so many things in life it comes down to resources and who had access to them. Meanwhile the left has to rely on people like me who are going to sacrifice their free time and creativity for something they believe in.

The left has all the things you mentioned as well, and is online as well. Currently one of the biggest podcasts on Patreon is hosted by two lefties. I also want to point out that for most of the lefts history being a leftist meant sacrifice of some sort. If you don’t want to do that fine but stop removed at me about how the left refuses to adapt. We are up against capital, if you haven’t figured that out and what it implies then idk what to do for you.

That’s why going outside and doing things in real life is important fund raising for example is very important. You can also donate to lefty content creators that you like. Currently a bunch of them are getting cancelled or demonetised thanks to their support against genocide. The left has been in decline since the fall of the USSR so idk why you think this is some kind of new phenomena. The fact that they’re slowly making a comeback is actually pretty cool and gives me a small slither of hope sometimes. If you just want an easy ride then join one of the billionaire parties, the pay is better and you’ll have to work less.

Please define liberalism for me.

Um to have an actual real connection to the person you’re talking to and not just talk to some faceless name and avatar on a website? To show people that you actually care about them and that a political project is important enough for you to get your ass off the couch for. To maybe connect with other like minded people so you can organise more?

Holy shit I’m actually starting to realise what people meant when they said the .world people are crazy. How online are you that I have to explain that talking to people in real life is nicer than just communicating online. I order you to touch grass.

Wow a meme cool!

Edit: You can really tell when somebody won an argument when they stop actually engaging in the conversation and post a meme. It’s the sign of victory. I bet you have a fucking meme folder LOL

Too late for that you’ve shown yourself to be deeply unserious and willingly slurp up propaganda like pudding.

Damn if somebody is popular they must be good, no way popular people ever did anything bad. Also you still haven’t told me what echo chamber I belong to? The war sucks echo chamber? Ya I’m fine being in that echo chamber. Anyways go away now you’ve shown that you child’s grasp on politics and war and think that it’s a movie with good guys and bad guys instead of a game between various capitalists seeing who can get the biggest slice of that sweet sweet Ukrainian pie. I’m also sure who ever wins the war will be happy to strip your country for assets, use you as cheap labour and then give you a big fat juicy loan to pay them back for all the „help“ they gave you.

Edit:

Now let me tell you something about me, I grew up in diplomatic circles and lived in Kuwait during the second gulf war, it was pretty funny because the TV kept talking about weapons of mass destruction meanwhile everybody on the ground knew that was fucking bullshit. Only the dumbest American troops believed that shit but those guys lived on a base and basically never saw the outside world. It was a pretty good lesson on how the media can manufacture consent, and guess what I saw the exact same thing happen with Ukraine.

What are you referring to? Who is you people? I’m sorry people do know if you knocked on doors, just because you’re not doing it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t get results.
