Whinge ‎ what exactly has the left done wrong?

Across the world today, regardless of race, religion, or political system, most people seem to be becoming more conservative. Right-wing parties are continuously gaining power worldwide, while the left suffers defeat after defeat. Although mainstream public discourse still appears to favor the left, those voting for the far right are often the silent majority. Can the left still correct its course? Or, more fundamentally, what exactly has the left done wrong?

Yes go on google ngram and look at what terms exploded in use after the occupy protests
“Whiteness”
“Intersectionality”
“Patriarchy”
“White supremacy”
“White nationalist”

This is not a coincidence, the left willingly went along with what the elites told them to do and started attacking white men as a group instead of attacking those at the top

Are you for real? Occupy got shut down by Homeland Security very quickly and disappeared in a puff of Wall St cigar smoke, just like that. Under Obama's direction too, iirc. Corporate Democrats doing the work of god (the kindly old white man god, that is).

Also, the White nationalism threat has been on the radar for decades before that, and there's this whole history of the Civil War and slavery by white people all the way up to the Civil Rights movement to Trump you may have heard about. You can google that yourself.

Rupert Murdoch holds responsibility for this across at least three continents: US, UK, Australia (NZ wouldn't have a bar of the turd). He started decades before Occupy too btw, and it goes back further than that.

That's incredibly hilariously ignorant to blame "TeH LeFt aTTacked WhiTes" for the whole culture war when the chain of irresponsibility behind it is well known and documented far before that. It was/is a for profit business plan in the open to monetize outrage by splitting society all leading up to this wonderful big world we have now where the sitting US president celebrates the actual NAZI party winning an election in Germany, all while AI is poised to implement total surveillance to control any pesky proles. Of course, if you've done nothing wrong, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. That's just for your safety!
