I'd go about post countless anarchist cringe photos, but why do they always type threatening, highly-aggressive messages like they're some teenager who just downed 3 Red Bulls?
I mean, this isn't some accusation I'm throwing out there. They're like this everywhere on social media they inhabit.
It's the same thing with Marxists and the gulags. Once you have nothing you have nothing to lose, and because the Left not only is utterly powerless but also deep down feels unable to GAIN power, many of us think we can afford to indulge in all types of idiotic behavior as long as it feels good at the time, and threatening a violence that you'll never really carry through with is satisfying to a number of people.
Compare this with, say, a run-of-the-mill conservative in America, who is currently engaged in winnable battles on the fields of gun rights, privatization, welfare cuts, etc. Their inner reasoning can be the most racist, elitist, violent shit possible, but they know that in order to win those battles they need the message discipline of framing them in image-conscious language. If those among them who have violent fantasies start talking about those fantasies, they can alienate people, fuck up an election and lose.
But the fear of losing has to be there. The Left has nothing to lose. Unions have been emasculated decades ago and are now almost destroyed, there are few Socialist parties with any impact on mainstream politics out there, clandestine work is too risky, etc. This is a fertile territory for kids with violent fantasies to go on and on about what they'll do once they have the power they'll never really have.

This.
It's the same phenomenon that breeds individual terrorism, though thankfully well over 90% of the people who post these types of messages will never develop the guts it takes to become a terrorist.

They need to go back to the zoos(USER WAS SENT BACK TO THE ZOO FOR THIS POST)

Uuuuh. yes. Poor people have shitty lives and are angry. Boohoo. Hatred creates violence. I don't see how that applies to the OP's pic related. They said you deserve to be murdered if you're right wing, not that they would hunt you down personally.
Jack Gutierrez
What the fuck are you talking about
It has nothing to do with being poor. The guy in the OP is acting all macho and tough because the left is utterly powerless in the modern climate and he has no other means of venting his grievances,
Did you even read the post you're criticizing or did you just see "nothing to lose" and rush to type out an incoherent autistic response to what you imagine he was saying?
Xavier Barnes
edgy teenagers are walking cringe factories, glad you noticed. but they can be found on ay axis of the political spectrum.
Thomas Cruz
What? how can you know some random youtube user's social class? yes, there are many high middle class leftists out there who also leave those sorts of comments because they feel underpowered. Just a few questions: why would you call them terrorists? this sounds pretty shilly. Are you not ok with murdering right wingers, gaynon? what are your true intentions?
Carson Torres
I DON'T, you fucking idiot. I was responding to YOUR claim that the original guy was saying it had to do with being poor, which he never fucking did.
Please try to read my posts with comprehension in mind before responding again. I know you can do it.
I didn't call them terrorists. In fact, I explicitly said the vast majority of them would never become terrorists. Serious question: Are you actually illiterate? Unlike you, I'm not an idealist, so I don't make blanket statements like "killing right wingers is okay".
In some cases, it might be. In other cases, it might not be.
Zachary Cook
My bad. I dun goofed. I just wanted to remind you that the user could be a wagecuck who just really hates right wingers and bourgies. Oh, my bad. I could have sworn you meant terrorism as in doing what those comments aprove of. Please stop bullying me. I've got a sore throat, asshole fag. Well, sure. Stuff labour camps are more productive. It's just that I could never complain about a right winger being murdered.
Jacob Allen
Quit making me feel bad about being so mean by apologizing, you jerk.
Anarchist movements are gaining more success between teenagers, most of them dont really know anything about anarchist ideals and are just there to rage against the machine and act in a way they think its really hip and alternative Its no surprise that they lack any sense of discipline and self-control, they arent really supposed to represent the anarchist movement, and arent supposed to achieve anything, they will grow out of their edgy phase in a few years and maybe delve into actual anarchist ideals, or just leave Just leave them doing their thing
Benjamin Myers
Anarchist culture and theory are almost unrelated in modern times. Most anarchists are only concerned with lifestylism and pursuing some sense of rebellion, not accomplishing anything meaningful.
