This is the final destination of the leftist movement. We live a life of physical pleasure thanks to automation yet we are devoid of true fulfillment. So we need to channel our energies that otherwise would have been spent, say, working the field, on finding and striking down non-existent controversy. We call this activism and social justice. In doing so, we hope to attain closer unto some fulfillment.

If people don't see the broader implications of this on our society and the obvious slippery slope it engenders then I am truly alone.

Why are you characterizing the removal as leftist? The satire being removed is a leftist criticism of capitalism...

Because the satire is the left, and the tweet complaining is the "left". Recently (and not without design) the "left" has totally eclipsed the left

maybe. it could very well have been written by Red Skull or Thanos. Re-read in their voice and it works.

Liberals, Anarchists, and Fascists actually share a lot of the same criticisms of society regarding anti-consumerism. They just have very different ways of addressing it.
