What?

More like we're too busy fighting each other to realize who is largely perpetuating these fights and who directly benefits from a distracted populace.

I'm legitimately surprised I had to spell this out.

    Are you confusing liberals with left wingers?

    The left have been very loudly pushing back against the billionaire class for a very long time

    Yeah, the actual left’s whole deal is fighting billionaires.

    I really need everyone to stop conflating liberals with the left, and also learn some basic political theory before speaking on it.

    As they should, but you can't deny the infighting between other factions. The point remains: we have to take a step back, and focus on the real problems, rather than the bait they throw in front of us.

    I wouldn't be much of a left winger if I did deny that

    Turning the working class against each other is one of the main ways the elite protect their power

    People on the left have been writing about this for over a century

    This meme must be targeted at USians, where the Democrats, the left wing of liberal capitalism, are referred to as "the Left" as part of liberal capitalists' war against anarchism, Marxism, and other class-conscious perspectives. Because elsewhere in the world, the Left (where they exist) are generally the ones who are fighting the people distracting and dividing us (the capitalists). (Not trying to be contentious, just trying to understand where you're coming from.)
