If you claim that you've given up on leftist politics because "everybody seems much more interested in being miserable together than in actually driving change", and yet you've never so much as acknowledged people's dire situations with a word of solidarity or empathy, then that tells me an awful lot about what you think "leftism" means, and it's nothing flattering.
Bonus points if you're a well-off white dude who most likely works in tech.

@joepie91 isn’t “giving up” part of being the miserable leftists they claim to be annoyed by? 🤔

@james I'm going to generalize a bit here, but I suspect that in a significant part of these cases, they never really were on board with leftist ideology to begin with - they just feigned to be, because it was the socially expected thing, and so this is a convenient excuse to duck out.
