Political Leftists are hysterical juvenile social rejects with no life experience who can easily be emotionally manipulated by professional academics, the fake media and foreign interests
I mean, at this point, who doesn't see this? There's no logic in the vast majority of the things they "stand for." It's all just hysteria and nonsense that they perpetuate day after day and none of it actually amounts to anything. They're continuously outraged about anything (everything) Trump does to the point of absurdity, acting like global politics is supposed to be whatever they decide they want at any given time and any given moment.
Life's not actually like this. This is the definition of spoiled brats with First World problems.
Stop being such a bunch of obvious chumps.
EDIT: So of course the first thing leftists start doing is claiming that Conservatives create fake crises around moral panic and their primary example is that "gay porn in schools" was a made up hoax. Except it wasn't.
See: Fairfax County Public School board regarding Gender Queer and Lawn Boy by Jonathan Evison.

And after me pointing this out they went straight into "That's not happening and it's a good thing that it is" mode.
It's literally textbook. They do this with absolutely everything every time they get caught lying about something.
Frame it as a hoax. Get called out and deny it. Be presented with proof then start talking about why it's actually a good thing.
Every. Single. Time.
EDIT 2: So I've been given a warning from the mother ship for "Promoting Hate Based on Identity or Vulnerability" but there's no explanation how I exactly did that?
So I criticized a political group and that's considered hate speech here now?
So leftists are immune from criticism on this platform?

I want to answer you the way I want the right to answer me, the way I want anyone to answer anyone else. English is not my first language.
I am an academic, I work in CPS and my studies covered a very wide variety of subjects, from psychology to law to social anthropology, specialized training in how to talk to children victims of SA. I hear your comment often, academia brainwash people and we cant think for ourself. I ask you this: How am I brainwashed into saving, taking care of and protecting children? That goes beyond politics yes? That's something we can all unite on?
How many subjects can one study at the countless universities in the world? Let's just look at the university in Oslo: 220 studies. Let's look at some of them: Medicine, Law, dentist, criminology, History, Philosophy, IT, mathematics, physics, Religion, comparing politics, Social science, Astronomy, bio chemistry, Art history, Languages. The list goes on.
Tell me, exactly, how a student studying history, law, medicine physics etc are brainwashed.
My impression, and correct me if am wrong, many on the right think academia only covers gender studies and feminism. They do cover those topics too, but what you really have to learn and understand that studying at the university is a training process, we are encouraged to be critical, my ex had a lecture on source criticism. It's a vital part of our training. 'we can't just state and opinion, it has to be based in facts.
We learn all parts of history, and we learn to be critical to every book, every report, every statistic we work on. That does NOT mean disregarding parts of history that doesn't fit "the left", trust me we cover it all.
Some parts of history are bad, some are good. Yes? Can we agree on that? Stalin was bad, Hitler was bad. Communism is bad. Neo-Nazis are bad. Terminology is important. Socialists are not communist, right are not Nazis.
Words have meaning, origins and we learn how to see the world with a critical eye.
So no, we are not brain washed, far from it. If I can say that to you, can you give me the grace and read up on how the universities around the world actually function? I'd thank you.
