Very serious thinker Brianna Wu is back with: “The cocaine left”
What is the "Cocaine Left?"
Symptoms of cocaine abuse are aggression, antisocial behavior, actions that are dangerous to themselves and others, psychosis, overconfidence and irritability.
A certain portion of our fringe is dangerous the same way that MAGA is dangerous. They're uninterested in building anything, or accomplishing any policy. They want to set fire to everything in sight.
The Cocaine Left is hurting us, and making it impossible for the larger family of the left to thrive and accomplish things. And as someone who just celebrated 20 years of sobriety, I can tell you - the kindest thing we can do is stop enabling them.
If you think Russia, China and Hamas are the good guys, you are part of the Cocaine Left. If you believe violence is a valid political tactic, you are part of the Cocaine Left. If you think burning America down so your ideology can rise from the ashes is best, you are part of the Cocaine Left.
It's not going to be easy cutting them off and moving on without them, but in the end we will all be a lot healthier.

what's the purpose of using ableist verbiage? the "war on drugs" and folks who consider themselves right or right-leaning use similar rhetoric to expunge people considered 'lesser'. To note this is a subgroup of individuals of conservative ideology, not all. It is important to make the distinction becauuse while I disagree all-the-same, the kinds of disagreements are different and need not be lumped together.
it's great she has 20 years of sobriety, it is inappropriate to use it as a cudgel to to wield against anyone else who she seeks to demean or otherwise treat unseriously. perhaps some were similarly unfair to her during her time of insobriety, it does not therefore mean she needs to reproduce her treatment onto others.
"hurt people, hurt people" is a descriptive account of what occurs, not a guidebook on appropriate behavior.
I think it's pretty common to project negative attributes of your past selves onto your ideological opponents, so you can convince yourself they are just a less developed version of you. No need to care about what they have to say.
less developed version
if this is what is believed, my response is 🫨🤢🤮
pretty par for the course for liberal "criticism" of people they don't like
