    Leftists really suck at marketing. Between that, antifa, and defunding the police, they really don’t seem to know how to put a name to an idea that can’t be misconstrued by an opponent with the maturity of a 5 year old (which, as luck would have it, is most opposition). I’d even argue BLM should be on that list.

    Edit to add: global warming.

        Yes, the problem is you create a bubble and look stupid when you talk about anything outside of your bubble.

      I believe it stems from Liberalism. Class consciousness is on the rise, but newly-class aware liberals aren’t yet aquainted with Leftist theory. These ideas are popular among liberals that are becoming more familiar with leftism but are disconnected from the centuries of leftist progress.

      The real problem is that big media (and therefore the prevailing narratives) are all controlled by the authoritarian corporate establishment.

      Black lives matter is the least hyperbolic statement of that movement imaginable. That there was pushback even on that framing speaks more to the vile ess of its opponents than to a failure of marketing.

      You might want to put it on your list but it’s the opposite problem to your other examples if anything.
