  • Well I don’t give passes to Nazis (and the world is a bigger place than just the US). I guess I’ll just vote in favour of policies that we both support, rally against policies and parties that we both hate, and continue to advocate for a more equitable world.

    You might not call me an ally, but I’ll call you one. (at least based on our limited interaction)

    “self-identifying liberals as they exist in the world today”

    The world is a big place. Not sure if you mean “liberal” in the US context, “Liberal” as in the Canadian political party. “Neo-liberal” as in Economic position of Friedman economics, etc…

    Leftist is also a relative term and isn’t very useful. You likely believe in important structural reforms surrounding minimum wage (perhaps UBI), environmental protection, universal affordable/accessible healthcare, strict banking regulation, drastic progressive taxation, harsh penalties for white collar crime, etc… But “left” of what, I doubt youre pushing for authoritarianism or communism?

    My point is there are literally Nazis we are fighting right now. Maybe stop with the infighting as a result of ambiguous labels.
