One thing I've always noticed about the far left is the constant assertion that they are always the underdog, and everything is against them. They always assert that the media is under conservative control (I feel that's hardly true), and that every conservative organization is extremely well funded by a rich oil baron, whereas they are scrapping by with dedicated activists (not so true). What other things have you noticed that far-left liberals assert?
That the imporance of bathing is overstated?
I agree utterly on their whole under-dog martyr complex.
The other point I note is the whole "conservatives are usually just that way because they take after their parents/evil mentors/cult leaders whereas liberals think about things". This is especially true of liberals from conservative backgrounds who feel that they are the ones to have escaped into the light...pass the sick-bag.
That failing, but having a good excuse, is much better than failing without a good excuses; indeed, it's almost as good as succeeding (and a lot easier!)
I notice all of the liberals have a bit of strange facial hair. (mostly Californian's and NY's don't think I'm dissing everyone here. just something I've noticed. lol
That it's never their fault (or the fault of their cause). It's always:
-The Weather (particularly 'Drought')
-Capitalist Roaders (Insiders)
-Reactionaries
-The West (a.k.a. The U.S.)
-(White)Racists (Hello, southern Africa)
-(Internal/External) Enemies/Conspirators
-Exploitation by/of/for/under the direction of the West (a.k.a. The U.S. in particular)
-The Embargo
-(The legacy of) Colonialism
-The CIA
-The Kulaks (a.k.a. the Bourgeois)
-The "Rich" (nations, people, maches nicht)
The list is endless.....But they all have one thing in common. It's never, in any way,shape or form, the fault of Liberalism.
Oh shucks. Liberals are okay....but have you ever tried to clean one? ;-)
See #5.
They always claim to have a better answer, yet never tell anyone what the answer is.
