      Also if you support surrogate pregnancy, don’t support surrogate pregnancy, support public ownership media, don’t support public ownership media, support sex work, don’t support sex work, support UBI, don’t support UBI or pretty much any other bit of policy.

      Every leftist is Schrödinger’s leftist, constantly in a superposition of true leftism and false leftism until they interact with another leftist, at which point they collapse into a false leftist every time.

      And then a conservative wins the next election so they can dismantle any leftist policy that has been accidentally introduced and the cycle can start all over again. Nature is a beautiful mystery, really.

        Sure but some quantum particles are more stable than others.

        Not supporting a neocolonial ethnostate is, to my estimation, a pretty consistent leftist superposition. Maybe the most stable one? Idk it’s pretty high up there

          This post really rounds out this metaphor, because it’s just as infuriating to people who understand the self-defeating nature of leftist purity checks and to quantum physicists pretty much for the same reasons.

      If you think you’re a leftist and that the world is black and white, you’re not a leftist
