The Left: "Citizens shouldn't have guns. Only the police should have guns."
Also the Left: "Dismantle the police!"
I wouldn't be so critical of the Left, as I am now, if they were more consistent with their views.
'The left' is insanely fragmented because there are so many branches of views that people hold to so incredibly tightly, and that's not even opening the can of worms of the retarded communists and socialists who have as many variations of anarcho-syndicalist-primitivism as there are stars in the sky and they all equally hate eachother, and liberals even more. The right, meanwhile, has never really had issues dropping or switching ideals and policies for the sake of greater consolidation and "falling in line". In my view much worse from the standpoint of moral fibre but oh so much better from a pragmatic point.
The left also has a populism issue as of late same as the right with the exact same kind of policy-devoid meme spouting hyperbolic nonsense. Instead of being about immigrants, blacks, jews and gays it's about capitalism, billionaires and the police. That's not to say that right-populists and left-populists are equal (Because being a racist is worse than being a regular brand of moron) but they both do the same shit where they say provocative things on Twitter that if you pressed them on, they'd crumble.
Police reform is important and change really needs to be had but it's so much less sexy and aesthetic to point towards policy goals like "Campaign Zero" rather than shout "ABOLISH THE POLICE" on Twitter.
