    They do this when we tell the truth too. Why not muddy the water with something so trivial as a CK tweet?

      Because both sides-ism is not only a losing tactic for the left, it’s also dumb as fuck.

        “the left”

        like there’s only one.

        Even broadly, at the far side, roughly speaking, without even dividing up across other criteria or gradations of economic “leftness”, nor other quirks of specificity…

        • anarcho left. -10,-10 to -0.01,-10
        • libertarian left, e.g -10,-5 to -0.01,-5
        • moderate left, e.g. -10,0 to -0.01,0
        • tanky left. e.g -10,6 to -0.01,6
        • totalitarian left. e.g. -10,10 to -0.01,10
        • fake left. e.g around 5,5

        One of these is not like the others.

        … Well… the others are not like the others either…

        But that does not matter to those who only speak of the fake left, as if it’s not not left, as if it’s the only left, calling it “the left”.
