    Million children hungry: I sleep.

    Wrong pronouns used to Twitter: straight to jail!

    The neoliberal establishment that “the Left” wholeheartedly supports.

      I’ve never met a lefty that even remotely, nevermind wholeheartedly, supports the Tory government. You know, the right wing party that’s been in power for ~13 years. If you think leftists have caused this problem you’ve been living under one big fuck off rock for a long time.

        Who said anything about the Tory government? You really think you have a million hungry children because of the Tories? You’re politically illiterate then.

          Which part of “figure trebles since 2017” were you thinking was the fault of someone other than the tory government, and by what means did they cause it, and what, ffs, has it got to do with pronouns?

          Why do you think we have seen the number of hungry children triple since 2017, if it isn’t the government that has been in power for the past decade plus?

        Maybe the left should care more about starving children and less about what JK Rowling posts on Twitter.

        Maybe the left should be building a broad coalition with everyone who’s fed up of there being starving children instead of chastising and cancelling normal working class people for not getting the latest most esoteric gender discourse.

        No. Genders are way more important than children.

                You know it must be great being the Left. A totally external locus of control. It’s the Tories! It’s the bigots! It’s the billionaires!

                I’ll digress a bit here and give you an example. In my country there’s an organisation called Marks21. They say they are a “movement to build a worker’s party.” They’ve existed for more than 20 years now. No worker’s party in sight. But what do they occupy their time with? Endless discussions on gender. And before you accuse me of bashing the woke, this organisation is actually very transphobic.

                What I am saying, and you’re wilfully ignoring, is that the left is also to blame here. Not just the Tories. Not just the billionaires.

                The left has abandoned common people instead focusing on academia and middle class liberals cosplaying as radicals. This left would rather pal around with woke corporations while denouncing normal people over fringe and esoteric issues like neopronouns.
