Maybe I’m the centrist in this scenario, but isn’t that just normal left? I’d expect far left to be like “we are going to exterminate all the rich then give their stuff to everyone else”
I also believe I am center… To me it’s more like
Right: let’s go exterminate races. Left: ACAB, all cops are pieces of shit and deserve life sentences.
I mean, they aren’t totally equal, but there are better examples.
All cops are bastards though.
Until you need one.
I’m more likely to be assaulted by a cop than helped by one. Or randomly killed while they do triple the speed limit with no siren.
I hope someday your feelings of law enforcement can be repaired by them. This is a tragic relationship between people and those that are supposed to protect them.
I hope law enforcement keeps correcting this, which they should have done themselves but instead it took enormous pressure and numerous occasions of crimes by law enforcement.
Maybe one day, you won’t have to fell that way.
centrists are usually right wing wanting the votes/approval from left
Undecided voters are the stupidest people on the face of the Earth.
It’s funny to see people that have swallowed anti communist peograganda hook line and sinker flounder in here trying to discredit the far left.
USA: we don’t have a left. Democrats are at best center.
You don’t have a right either though, at least not a right on the democratic spectrum.
All you’ve got are “unacceptable” and “fascism”.
They are more right than russian right-wing politicians. Even in USSR second opposition party was right-wing Liberal-Democratic Party of Soviet Union.
Nowadays the right-left-continuum is already broken inside a single political region, I am pretty sure getting the USSR into the boat doesn’t make it easier.
And by the way, who was the “second opposition party” in the One-Party-System of the Soviet Union?
i just try my best to think logically and realistically idc abt left or right opinions
Thinking logically and realistically, without checking if left or right, inevitably leads to a leftist slant. There’s nothing logical or realistic about right wing thought, that’s why they usually suppress the scientific community and educational systems.
Well, it’s hard to tell liberals and conservatives apart, mostly because liberalism isn’t left wing, but actually slightly right from centre, and both liberalism and conservativism share some similarities.
This is what McCarthyism did. It’s the great goal post mover.
Liberalism is solidly right of center, its Social Democracy that is slightly right of center. Conservativism is just fascism.
Conservatives:
Liberals: “no nazis or bigots. We want fair pay and basic human rights”
Wow, it’s so hard to see the difference.
CPAC organizers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
How does that change anything? In the past they were willing to eject these people, but not this time.
It doesn’t. I just found it funny they expected a comment. The news not calling this fascism is why it’s going to get worse.
I doubt they actually expected a comment. Reaching out for a comment is just part of what you do as a journalist.
I used to think that the type of hatred displayed by the filth guy was a small backwards group ina larger whole, but I’m not seeing anyone else in the larger whole, who might be less ridiculous, saying anything about the fridges. It makes them all appear the same.
This is a basic example of issues caused by not policing extremist views within your own group, or a group being too big and not representing the majority of people’s views.
It says something, that securing people’s basic needs is considered “far” left.
The joke is this is a meme made by the far left.
In reality they overspend till the government is soooo weak that their little friends can steal and rob in each and every part of the local government, central government ans government companies.
At least that’s how it goes in every single country in south America
Viva noboa Milei and bukele! Fck trump
Vote left in developed countries
Vote right in undeveloped countries
Unfortunately this is the way.
why do people say these thing when they know its not true
I can’t tell them apart in the way they both seed discord to keep people united behind them. I can’t tell them apart in the way they tear apart families with propaganda. In that sense, I’m a centrist.
You can argue one of them does less material damage all day, but they both rely on each other to exist in their current form. They are both predatory institutions that I will not be a part of.
FAR LEFT IN SOUTH AMERICA : let’s do deals with dictators and narco generals.
Is that really ‘far’ left, though? Far left is, “let a handful of governors control everything, on behalf of communal ownership, and they will make sure everyone’s needs are met fairly.”
I think the use of “far left” in this meme is based on the labels that right wing media is pushing on the ‘normal’ left.
That’s not the far left, that’s Capitalism. The Far Left is for democratic control of Production and working towards a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society via Worker Ownership, whether that be through a state or via Anarchism.
I don’t think far left implies statelessness. I know communist governments are not taken as an ideal picture of far left, but I thought far left politics still has state governorship over public ownership?
You say Worker Ownership, but I thought the thing about ‘left’ versus ‘right’ is a collective ownership (requiring presumably some manner of management) versus individual ownership (that permits capitalism if people have full freedom to trade).
The left isn’t necessarily opposed to ownership or freedom to trade. Nor is capitalism just freedom to trade. Capitalism is a set of exploitative property relations based on a fake contract (the employer-employee contract). In this contract, the legal responsibility for the entire result of production is assigned to the employer despite the workers’ joint de facto responsibility for that result. This violates the basic tenet that legal and de facto responsibility match
The left: we’re gonna spy on everyone to make sure you’re fine and doing well!
The right: dude nobody’s looking who cares
Centrists: are either of you sure and aware of your statements?
This forum is exactly like its reddit counterpart: hot garbage
