I wish there were more speakers from the left like her.
The western left has gotten so academic and comfortable, it’s no wonder the far right could swoop in and pretend to be working classes’ saviour.

you would think people would notice the extensive #psyop to convince the #left to not vote, via various methods: #learnedHelplessness, #toxicIdealism, premature empty cynical capitulation, "BoTh SiDeS tHe SaMe" and other endless bullshit, and understand that what they should do is #vote
The problem with the #left is so many judgments out there are absolute
But the only way to get #progress in this world is to be relative:
Is someone moving in a good direction, regardless of where they are starting from?
Then you applaud that
That is true #morality
Absolutism is just ego masturbation. It doesn't change the world
So I mourn the passing of #PopeFrancis
I recognize the good he did in the confines he operated in, on issues dear to the left
And so should you
