I am exhausted lately.
Everywhere I turn, people I'm friends with, people I admire, people I have passing acquaintance with, fighting.
The a la carte these days seems to be "fight the wrong people". TERFS blame trans people for the crimes of cis men. Far left people blame Starmer for tory policy. Center left people blame laissez faire politicos for being inspired by, and therefore relentlessly backing Corbyn in spite of any flaws that emerge. The left is a bloodbath of Yharnam scale.

I honestly don't know if the left deserve to win, fractured as we are. But win we must because the tories are decimating our freedoms, regressing our equality and quite literally people are dying already, and will continue to do so.

The left in the UK has been fractured for a long time, and a big part of that is an unwillingness of every single facet to acknowledge the problems that they have within: credence towards claims of antisemitism or islamophobia the other way, stupid rhetoric around the Russia war or brexit, pejoratives about ethnic minorities, a ridiculous aversion to any sort of rhetoric against the UK's precious nuclear bomb, brexit- every facet of the left has issues, and NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THEM.

We can keep going down this divisive path and lose lose lose- or we could act like adults and win together and enact at least SOME meaningful change, do SOMETHING good for people in poverty, undo some of the dangerous laws the tories passed, tax wealthy people. Make your f*cking choice lefties because right now you seem determined to bring every last bastion of safety down with the double weaponry of aversion to hearing criticism of yourselves, and a desperate need to demonise others.
