Why are liberal leftists so cringe these days?

@newt And neither are they leftist. Just virtue-signalling rich people.

@sim

@josemanuel @newt I don't think they are all rich, but they definitely fall into a certain bubble and virtue signal with each other so it's not even being courageous or counter-culture. I think that social media was a mistake for these types.

@sim They're all part of the system, and I've never met anyone who, being part of the system, was also poor.

Besides, who works an honest job and still has time to spend online bothering people?

@newt

@josemanuel @newt I suppose that it depends on what they are doing. Some people are young, maybe still students... living on debt. Others could have health issues. Or they might be interns or not paid much in the entertainment or other industry. It's funny to think how much social media has become a part of our lives, something we use to share our thoughts or virtue signal with our circles. Also how corrupted this is to paint a dishonest picture of what people really think, to make us think most people hold certain viewpoints. Although in the case that I'm thinking about, they were youtubers making commentary on games so I'm not sure if we can call that an honest job and I don't know how much they make doing this.
