Chapter 2: What personal experiences does the host share about being a leftist?

37.364 - 59.446 Amala Ekpunobi

And then we're going to discuss whether or not them being annoying stops people from joining their camp. Now, I'm a former leftist myself, and I was annoying as f***. when I was a leftist, okay? Constantly telling people what they should think, how they should feel, being on my moral high horse about everything that I was thinking and feeling. And I know now just how annoying that was.

Chapter 3: How does the TikTok video influence the conversation?

59.646 - 79.09 Amala Ekpunobi

Now, this leftist is getting a little bit of a wake up call, although she's not picking up the phone. Okay, so let's watch the TikTok. Yesterday, I made a video asking liberals why they don't want to move left. And overwhelmingly, the response that I got was, oh, well, anti-capitalist leftists are annoying and insufferable. What?

Chapter 4: What are the responses from liberals regarding leftist behavior?

79.65 - 94.1 Amala Ekpunobi

Can we just replay the eyebrow movement real quick on that? After saying annoying and insufferable, one more time. Well, anti-capitalist leftists are annoying and insufferable. What? Are you sure you want to be admitting that?

0

Chapter 5: Why is self-reflection important in political discussions?

94.961 - 113.102 Amala Ekpunobi

That's weak sauce, brother. Technically, all of your political and moral positions are correct, but I just don't like you. So, not gonna do it. Word? Even if that's just like a flippant online response, that's petulant as fuck.

Chapter 6: What examples highlight the perceived annoying behaviors of leftists?

113.122 - 131.473 Amala Ekpunobi

You don't want to pick up more radical positions, whether you believe in them or not, because the people who promoted them first are annoying? Yeah, I mean, it was just like such a bummer we fell to fascism. It's just like if the anti-capitalists had been less annoying to me, like I probably would have done something.

139.03 - 147.482 Unknown

Guys, this is almost bringing me to tears because I have PTSD of who I used to be. This is who I used to be and this is annoying and insufferable.

Chapter 7: How does the host relate personal growth to the broader leftist critique?

147.583 - 154.132 Unknown

And I cannot believe she got through making this entire video and didn't realize what was happening in this video.

0

154.192 - 172.134 Amala Ekpunobi

Now she says the overwhelming response, overwhelming is the word she used, response that she got from liberals about not wanting to join the left or not wanting to hear out the left is that they were annoying. When you get an overwhelming response from a particular group of people, one thing you could do is completely ignore it and then play into the response, which is what she did in this video.

0

172.154 - 185.726 Amala Ekpunobi

The other thing that you could do is think about why you got an overwhelming singular answer to your question and then look internally and go, wait a second, am I or are we annoying? And instead, she's doubling down.

Chapter 8: What conclusions does the host draw about the future of leftist movements?

185.866 - 203.628 Amala Ekpunobi

We're gonna watch one more TikTok. You know how I know you've never actually organized because when you complain about leftists being annoying, it's like, yeah. We're the most annoying people on earth. That doesn't stop me from being in coalition with them. You don't join like a Marxist-Leninist organization because it's a popularity contest to make friends, right?

0

203.988 - 225.723 Amala Ekpunobi

It's nice if you find friends there. That's not why you join that organization. And I'm so tired of liberals acting like they need a special liaison to court them in their favor specifically because they are the specialist little baby on planet earth. Okay, do you need to hear any more? Do you need any more of the soapbox? Do you need any more of the condescension from this particular leftist?

0

225.783 - 248.969 Amala Ekpunobi

No, but you'll find when you dive into wokeism and leftism that it is rife with this sort of posturing, with this sort of annoyed, morally superior, sitting on my high ground individual who wants to talk down at you every single time they get the opportunity. Now there were people who tried to jump into this girl's comment section and let her know the different issues they have with the left.

0

249.149 - 250.971 Amala Ekpunobi

And you'll just have to see what her responses were.

251.151 - 266.97 Unknown

This is because leftists are so damn annoying. Let's take a look. Justin said they're not a leftist because liberals believe in a constitutional government, individual rights, free markets, and the rule of law over the mob. The reason I would never be a leftist is because what people usually mean when they say that is Marxist socialism communism.

267.11 - 293.061 Unknown

And that is far too authoritarian and violent for my taste. Can someone point out where Justin said it's because leftists are annoying? Anybody? Well, let's see what OP responded. Me, when I don't know what I'm talking about, but I confidently spout propaganda. So Juicy Crone here, and your response was to be dismissive. Here's another response that has nothing to do with being annoying.

293.461 - 303.7 Unknown

I mean, I feel like I am a leftist, but I kept being told by Puritan leftists that I'm a liberal. At this point, I just call myself a progressive social Democrat. It's not puritanical to correct someone on a literal definition. Jesus fucking Christ.

303.68 - 320.461 Amala Ekpunobi

So there we go. People actually gave good reasons for why they don't support the left and still she's being what? Annoying. And I want to go into the point of her original video. What someone might mean when they say, I can't support you guys because you're annoying or I felt maybe a drive to hear you out, but you're too annoying.

320.581 - 340.946 Amala Ekpunobi

Now I can hear a response like that and understand why somebody might say you can't have whether or not you're annoyed be the baseline for your moral compass or your values. But what is somebody really saying when they say the left is annoying? Now, again, as a former leftist, in analyzing my former self and thinking about the word annoying, it means so much more than just the word itself.
