While I can agree with the core of what you're saying, the uncompromising tone of these hardline rhetorical positions is really just like 'please, everyone to the left of the GOP, let us balkanize to the point where we are no longer capable of any kind of functional coalition'.

xps to OL this might be a point worth making (and hearing) if the people I am talking about ever gave the slightest indication that they understood the context of the people they so readily deem impatient and childish. But no, it’s just amisooutoftouch.gif all over and over and over again.

The argument you keep returning to, and I don’t know if you realise you are making it, is that the tone of the argument is wrong, so essentially saying people should be nicer to you in order to get you on board. This comes across regardless of the context being such that if you are a younger person (and btw this is something I get from people in their twenties), they have a huge amount of contempt towards progressives in their 30s and 40s who haven’t got their shit together to sort out climate change and now the continued existence of the species itself is at risk. So, no, manners are not the thing to clutch your pearls over here.

ftr I am differentiating here between something like '(hearable and sensible leftist position)' and 'if you don't agree with (hearable and sensible leftist position) completely you're less than human'.
Also this is 0% to do with getting me on board (I am) or being nicer to me (IDGAF). It has 100% to do with growing a message, persuading those who aren't already on board, building a coalition, etc. If it's more important to preach to the choir than to actually effect change, then IDGI.

There are no coalitions to build on ILX. The 45 voters spread across 9 states do not constitute a valuable bloc.

You do wish people would just spit out what they mean rather than cloak it in plausible deniability so we could get to the point a lot faster, though.

The thing that critics of activists don’t get is that they tried playing the “polite language” policy game and all it did was make them easier to ignore.It wasn’t until they made folks uncomfortable that there was traction to do ANYTHING even if it wasn’t their full demands.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) December 2, 2020

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
