    Yup. And as someone on the far left, it's pretty easy to see that those people who just stand still like the meme are talking about are absolutely not on the far left. I'd also argue if you can stand still in your middling 90s/early 00s centrist politics amidst everything happening, you're probably a pretty shitty person
