Gentlemen, a bit of political topic, that might not be well-suited for the sub, but still. (Mods, feel free to remove if needed).

Observing left-leaning people if American society, I see rather disturbing picture, with most of the leftists sharing same traits:

  1. Zero knowledge about their proclaimed ideology.
  2. Large number of queers and effeminate males.
  3. Hysterical.
  4. Jobless and zero effort of making any earning by themselves.
  5. Etc, etc and no end to negative qualities.

As a person with somewhat positive outlook towards socialism, that prevalence of derangement make me cringe hard.

I must note one very peculir thing though - I've never met / heard of any notable left-wing activist who will proclaim him / her self as Stalinist.

Please share your experience communicating with left-wing oriented persons IRL - maybe I'm making it sound way to grim and there are adequate people out there.
