There’s a globally shared movement opposing anything the left considers progress—for minorities, the environment, a shift away from fossil fuels, animal rights, fairness, and other ethical causes. This opposition dismissively labels such efforts as “wokeness.” From the US to Germany, from Orbán to Erdoğan, you see this trend everywhere.
It’s largely driven by men who feel their way of life is under threat. They want to continue as they always have: eating giant tomahawk steaks, driving oversized SUVs, denying climate change, and being offended by the existence of gay people. These are the same individuals who empower fascists—whether in the US, Germany, Argentina, or Italy.
The world seems to have forgotten the lessons and the misery of the Second World War.
In other words, it is impossible for there to be excesses or incorrect opinions on the left.
My friend, I am a leftist. I guarantee you no one hates leftists more than leftists.
We fight each other to death over everything.

Correct, madame.
Imagine that, there are also men who care about environment, who are not offended by seeing homosexual human beings, and who don’t want to have fascism.
