Any and all elitist sentiments - that includes use of ubiquitous hackneyed phrases like 'prolefeed' and 'panem et circum'. Dude, we get you think you're hot s*** because you don't watch reality tv and only listen to Mongolian flute ensembles.

In addition whenever the left tends to absurd and demeaning overtures towards the population (omg, we need the White van man! Better wrap ourselves in flags! Working class people love flags right???)

Greens in particular have a nasty habit of self-righteousness, a love of balkanisation and an annoying tendency towards autarky, Luddism and Malthusian thought.

Petty bourgeois "revolutionaries" that would rather sit in an office than stand on a picket line, call out culture, 'safe space' policies, 'check your privilege', identity politics, spending more time arguing on the Internet than doing much of anything meaningful to improve the lot of the people, the fact that the left seems unwilling (or unable) to engage in meaningful organization outside of major metropolitan areas, lifestylism, sectarianism, unwillingness of radicals to go out and organize unions (which is literally what the left is going to have to do if it ever wants to be relevant again), and a general lack of community among left-wingers.

Wow, TNF just utterly summed it up. This.

Bad news tnf, Cory just agreed with you

Ah but rocky, what bothers you about the side you actually identify with?
