I am so sick and tired of the anarchists who tack onto peaceful protests

96. Yes!!!

I created an OP the other day to address a certain faction who identifies as being on the left and it devolved because 1) I said they identify as being on the left and 2) I used the term leftist, which is not derogatory in and of itself to me. Rarely can we agree on the meaning of descriptive words any longer, so it is very difficult to have meaningful discussions about the topic at hand. I couldn’t agree more.

The group of people I was referring to are those who loathe democrats, liberals (and even some progressives which I guess the AOC article I shall read discusses), and the US as a whole. They are often nihilistic, even accelerationist. “Burn it all down.”

I highly doubt such people are members of DU now, though I know a handful who used to be, because of their hatred of democrats. And I’m not talking dislike or criticism - I’m talking loathing, and see us as the enemy.

Some DUers took offense at that info which does puzzle me.
