Talking to Our Left Friends
We need to have an honest conversation with our left friends.
Keep this simple:
Fear / control → right-wing
Trust / open → left-wing
That’s #KISS, everything else is noise.
To understand why we’re in such a mess, look at the loop we’ve been trapped in:
Fear of the right feeding a right-wing agenda to fight the right - which only feeds the fear.
That’s the mess of today’s politics. We’ve been running on it for decades, and it’s burning everything.
So ask yourself - look at your actions, your projects, your compromises over the last 10 years - Where is the left?
When did we stop building on trust?
When did we start mirroring the very control we said we were resisting?
It’s time to come back to first principles — trust, openness, and shared struggle.
If we can’t live them, we can’t build them.
![McCarthyism is a political practice defined by the political repression and persecution of left-wing individuals and a campaign spreading fear of communist and Soviet influence on American institutions and of Soviet espionage in the United States during the late 1940s through the 1950s, heavily associated with the Second Red Scare, also known as the McCarthy Era.[1] After the mid-1950s, U.S. senator Joseph McCarthy, who had spearheaded the campaign, gradually lost his public popularity and credibility after several of his accusations were found to be false.[2][3] The U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren made a series of rulings on civil and political rights that overturned several key laws and legislative directives, and helped bring an end to the Second Red Scare.[4][5][6]](https://todon.eu/system/media_attachments/files/115/260/934/313/054/124/original/7421b2df383cd774.png)
