bay area leftists are a special breed though.
it doesn't matter what the issues are they will be against it because their identity is based on dissent. they have a physical uniform they wear, approved facial expressions and an urge to argue about everything, etc etc - it's like a starter kit only it's ideas.
they are bored suburban guilty white girls(the guys are girls too afaiac)and they dont have a clue.
you can tell they are naive too because they are all marxists. you know what a marxist is? someone less than 1yr out of college that's what. everyone's a marxist til they realize that human greed would negate the effectiveness of a marxist society - they all have a che guevare poster somewhere because they saw it on a rage album or something....boring boring boring...anyway...
they are the kind of people that made their dolls have arguments at pretend tea parties when they were little and then made them talk it out and be friends. they got to be the mommy and say "see now i told you we could work it now share and sing...kumbaya"
they are convinced that this, a sit in with candles and hand-holding and a bake sale will fix the world and that everyone except white males is fundamentally good and oppressed and if they were in charge of the world everything would be fine.
like a black woman midget lesbian moslem president would be the best choice because they oppressed in multiple ways and therefore more noble and intelligent.
it's kinda their way of finding identity and being cool. they are just choosing one of the boring prepackaged personas that 99% of american droids buy instead of creating themsleves as a person.
this is a nation of lazy automoton consumerbots and the right is just as guilty of buying into a prexisting persona as the left, its just different. as long as you both drag your pittance down to the strip mall who cares.
you could have just as well chosen "god will show me who to use my manly gun on" v 1.03
these people just chose: "socially conscious cool person" v 1.06
they are required to protest something with a peace sign and since there isnt much to protest these days since there isnt much war so they jump when a war ike this comes along. they HOPE a cop shows up in riot gear so that they can be sprayed with tear gas and have some actual struggle in their lives.
their premade persona was created in the 60s and even though it is irrelevant for the times today, they still want the same experiences as that generation. just drive thru berkeley. you will see long hairs in vw busses with all kinds of procohcoice stickers etc - do you think thats an accident??? no its a UNIFORM a flag, a badge, a resume....its a readymade life is what it is.
they sit around with their headphones on getting teary over one of bono's peace on earth speeches etc.
it's easier to buy one of these ready made identities because you dont have to think. just match all issues that arise against your list of pre-approved views and viola! you avoid having to use reason or making tough decisions.
they are boring and predictable, the tough guys in the big trucks that "dont take no toejam<hock lugie here>"on the right are boring and predictable and the people reporting and legislating on the whole mess are boring and predictable.
perhaps an alien will wipe us out with a massive energy ray some day....now that would be entertaining
