I have a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to politics that convinces people I’m some sort of troll when I say completely reasonable left wing political views. I guess other leftists feel the need to qualify and speak softly and really try hard to make themselves understood by the other side. I don’t care about making my views palatable to reactionaries, and I guess for some reason that makes them unpalatable to other leftists as well. It’s really fucking weird.
