Why is it that when democrats don't get what they want they lash out against the actual left, instead of the far-rightists (who are actually making things worse)?

I still see democrats blaming "Bernie bros" for costing them the election, which is seriously wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised if eventually some of them begin to blame "the woke" for their defeats

"History will not be kind to us"

I mean, the US also supported the Guatemalan genocide and appartheid South Africa, yet nobody gives a crap.

First of all, pretty much all of the indigenous city is gone. All of the bulidings are from colonial or posterior times. And second, cities are built on water all the time (Vence, Suzhou, Amsterdam) And they managed to subsit just fine. The problem came when all the infrastructure used by the natives was destroyed and the solution used was to drain the lake, which has only led to a massive ammount of problems.

Who told you that? The only one who is still on Israel's side is the US

And democrats call themselves leftists...

If you want something manufactured in a country that isn't commiting human rights violations then you are not going to find it (not even the US, which is also funding a genocide right now)

You think people defeated the Nazis with just words?

If he's so good why do we need articles to constantly remind us of it?

The word "liberal" is associated with the right everywhere except the US.

"the scope creep of feminism that causes it to encompass issues like disability rights and economic inequality, I think feminism is becoming indistinguishable from leftism."

Why do you say that like it's a bad thing?

You got called a fascist becasue you wrote:

"12 percent of Bernie’s supporters stayed home in 2020."

and

"Why would I lecture anyone fucking over leftists? Fuck socialism."

Which is are pretty much rightist talking points.

Edit: You also said that leftists and POC need to be "put in their place" whatever that means, so I'm not surprised you got called that.

Vietnam war all over

"Foreign agents are brainwashing our youth to be against the war"

Telling him anythin is not yanking the chain. As long as the US keeps supplying him with weapons and money he knows he can keep doing what he wants.

How is Biden yanking the chain?

He hasn't done anything to stop the funding and the sales of weapons.

Who voted that government in?

Jesus Christ I swear Biden supporters are starting to get as annoying as Trump supporters.

You can't criticize anything about their dear leader ot they come out of the woodwork to defend him.

If MLK existed in current time, he would be called a tankie by most people on Lemmy.

His political ideas would be regarded as extremist, and the majority of the people here would not have supported him.

Israel support is one of those things where you can confidently say that both sides are the same

Why would he? He's gonna get finnancial support no matter what party wins

As someone from Latin-America, I think this happens for a number of reasons, including:

1. The legacy of colonialism: The spanish caste system left a strong imprint on latin american culture tha hasn't disappeared yet. This basically boils down to: Ligth skin good, dark skin bad. T

2. Right-wing propaganda through the internet: The terms "SJW", "Woke" "Forced diversity" and whatnot have become very widespread in the hispanic internet. You can go to any hispanic forum and you will find people complainig about "wokies ruinning their videogames/movies, etc"

3. US-backed anti-socialist propaganda: The US pretty much killed all leftist movements in Hispanic-america during their infancy. When it didn't kill them, it still acted with hostility towards them. On the contrary, far-right movements were tolerated if not supported directly. This has created the perfect environment for the far-right to prosper.

There are probably other reasons, but these are almos certainly involved
