They don't even understand the basics of the one thing they're meant to understand (language).

>The passive voice is incorrect. It is a misconception that the passive voice is always incorrect in English and some "writing tutors" believe that the passive voice is to be avoided in all cases. But "there are legitimate uses for the passive voice," says Paul Brians. Mignon Fogarty also points out that "passive sentences aren't incorrect", and "If you don't know who is responsible for an action, passive voice can be the best choice." When the active or passive voice can be used without much awkwardness, there are differing opinions about which is preferable. Bryan A. Garner notes, "Many writers talk about passive voice without knowing exactly what it is. In fact, many think that any BE-VERB signals passive voice."

Leftism is truly the epitome of slave morality. Every leftist meme is a reskin of a rightist one to the effect of "no u". It's uncharitable to say "the left can't meme", because it clearly can, but only with the memetic capital of others.
