Broski, how do you think gay people got rights?
How long ago did they march, gain acceptance widely… When did gay marriage become legal?
These things didnt happen that long ago, what do you mean ‘nothing’ came of these movements…
You simply miss perspective, surely?
In the last century, we got civil rights, women’s rights (to vote, to own a bank account, to divorce, to abort), gay rights and well…
You guys have started to lose some of those… But they happened within the last century, they were movements that were successful.
So clearly popular movements work and you need to readjust your expectations. These things are difficult and take time, you must win the hearts and minds before you can adjust the legislature.
Complying preemptively is how you lose everything and fascists win.
This isn’t a tenant of ‘the left’ but rather of liberalism.
Deference to law, police and morals that adhere to the legality of action are liberal brain rot, only the left in so far as the right is fascism.
Being on the left often carries pacifist sentiment but deference to legality and unwillingness to act is a liberal tendency.
