Problem: ‘each other’ includes people who support the worst aspects of that corrupt system and, in fact, find it their highest political value to see it perpetuated.
In fact a core demand of the yellow vest protests were… the lowering of a tax on fossil fuels. I think these guys might be the baddies, actually.
Taxing consumer level fuel in the name of climate change is performance art. It’s not a major factor and places a burden on those least able to handle it.
Another problem: those who support the worst aspects of the system are united, those who oppose it are too busy fighting over who’s opposed enough to the point that it’s impossible to mount any kind of effective response.
I’m starting to think the “disorganized left” thing is kinda bullshit. The right clearly has infighting, even at the highest level, and the left has been organizing protest after protest.
I can’t go a day on lemmy without seeing someone arguing about how people like Sanders and AOC might as well be “liberals” because they’re not “true leftists” and how we shouldn’t vote for them because they’re not far enough left.
We saw it in the 2024 election when people refused to vote at all because Harris wasn’t far enough left.
I’ve seen more people shit talking other left leaning people over single issues than I have any kind of infighting on the right.Sounds like you’re spending too much time online and not out talking to groups and people in person. I started volunteering late last year and lefty groups who are actually doing something get along way smoother than people just talking online.
