But I want to counter the leftist doomerism and also the leftist sense that if people just did things their way, everything would be so much different and everyone is doomed because people will never understand how to do things the correct way, which is their way.
Oh, yeah.
But I think that there's also something that I want to disrupt on Blue Sky and elsewhere is leftism or any political cadre as a club, as kind of like, if you don't do things this way, you can't hang out with us.

If you are a leftist, I want to see a pro-leftist politic from you.
