Fighting oppression with oppression

This meme really does display the central error of the madness endemic in all these political extremest groups on the left.

The male character says "You can't just treat us the way we've treated you for centuries".

All of the ideological extremists on the left, it seems, have this same central error.

They claim to be hundreds of years old. They claim to believe that they have experienced hundreds of years of oppression.

In fact, they have simply been lied to. They are 20, or 25, maybe 35 years old, and they have been lied to. they have been told stories about the past, they believe the stories, they identify with the stories, - and here I do not know what happened, how they were driven insane - but somehow they internalize these stories to such a degree that they come to believe they actually experienced them, and for hundreds of years.

i do not claim to know what can be done about it. i do not know what is driving so many young people insane in this same specific way, and why it is so tightly focused on leftist ideological groups.

Fighting men for giving them comfortable lives with literal genocide.

You mean how women are treated with love and respect for centuries? No mandatory military conscription, etc...

First you start off with a simple lie that they are oppressed, then you give them an enemy. Finally you say the only way to defeat their enemy is to help you do whatever you want.

Women are offering to paying our bills while we sit home?

"For centuries." That's like saying: n"oh well with hyena's the women are dominant and starve the len so then why don't we fight that oppression?" it doesn't work like that.

Also men have died for those centuries so women could have rights. And in some ancient civilisations like Sparta women were put on the same level as men because you can't have men without women, and you can't have women without men.

And by we you mean other people and by you you mean other people.

On a bit of a sidenote: from my basic understanding of the text, The SCUM manifesto is generally considered to be a parody of some of the illogical arguments used by certain sexist groups back when it was written (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCUM_Manifesto#As_parody_and_satire). Using the SCUM manifesto as a legitimate manifesto is like using the Jonethan's Swift's "A modern proposal" for real world political advice.
