What's wrong with Bay Area housing activism in one image. So much more interested in scoring anti-techie points than anything else - and missing out on the donations they'd probably have got if they engaged with the BM community rather than insulting them.

This is such a perfect microcosm of the worst excesses of the US left.

It's all there, the pretentiousness, the tone-deafness, pettiness, disinterest in actually achieving anything...

I don't dignify this crap with the left label any more, personally.

I don't know, these dickheads self-label as lefties even though they are mostly authoritarian identitarians. Would not want these people as allies, but that is perhaps the point. It would be unsurprising if some of the leaders turned out to be FBI assets, like in the old days.

That said, I'm not sure that's really necessary. People don't always need help acting stupid...

This image is so bad I'd question if it was a 4chan style psyop to discredit the "left" if it didn't come from a known source. There is, generally, a deep mistrust verging on hatred of the "counterculture" in the Bay Area activist scene. It's weird, man.

Like, I get it, burners are 3/4 white...uh...OK well moving on... I get it, tech is intertwined w the c/culture historically, too. But there is a level of aggression from the "left" against "hippies" that tells you something else is going on here.
