I’m almost convinced that people don’t become ultraleft; they end up ultraleft. What type of confusion, abuse, bigotry, whatever- it doesn’t matter- turns someone into an ultraleft?

I’m at my wits end, are they just neoliberals that haven’t accepted that fact?

    It seems to attract disillusioned liberals who nominally claim to oppose class society but for whatever reason want western supremacy to somehow endure in the post-class society, it’s incoherent but it seems to be the emotional fuel that sustains alot of their hostile left bashing politics

    Also despite many ultras making a talismanic fetish out of theory, most of them seem to have never actually read it, over the years I grew more suspicious of these so-called loremasters and came up with three simple questions on theory to determine whether an ultra has read Marx, and I’m not kidding after asking maybe a dozen or more online ultras over the years NONE of them have answered all the questions correctly, most couldn’t even answer ONE right

    In the end I realized Matt Christman was 100% right, these aren’t political movements they’re online posting styles centered on a person’s idiosyncratic demographic priors and mediated thru online consumption
