I do think there is an element of psychology at play here that not everyone on "our side" may be willing to acknowledge or admit to. I think we recognize it in leftists, but haven't completely come to terms with it in our own movement. That is that part of our collective monkey brains enjoys being oppressed and complaining about it.
The writing has been on the walls for years showing what direction all the censorship and corporatism is leading us towards, yet we sit around complaining without really doing anything about it. I get it, things are looking really bleak and insurmountable. So, each and every one of us is left with the question, "what are you going to do with this realization?". The way I see it, if you believe that we're all fucked, then you have 2 choices: fight and die for what you believe in or turn away and live as comfortably as you're allowed.
Yet, here we are. We're not going out into the streets to kill and die to keep our freedoms, and the fact that we're on this site discussing these issues means we haven't moved on with our lives. So what are we doing other than just complaining pointlessly and endlessly?
If you do believe something can be done, wouldn't we be doing it? Wouldn't there be some successes against progressivism for us to point to?
Sorry for the black pill lads. I probably shouldn't bother bringing others down.

I think you'd see a lot more violence if there were clear and unambiguous targets deserving of said violence. Instead we have large sprawling corporations and organizations so massive and distributed and intertwined that no one can identify who they should properly be mad at, which then translates into a vague anger towards "the Left" which doesn't really serve anything beyond self indulgent impotent rage.

Politicians, media, cops who let ANTIFA beat up conservatives, but will happily raid someone not following lockdown.
