Seeing myself as center-left…
For my family, I’m the one who is left…
For the guys on hexbear, I’m far-right.
It’s true.
Rural gun owner leftist vs Seattle leftist. Cage match at 9pm central time.
Industrial worker in a union vs. woke college kid.
Those stories are so fake. “I used to be a leftist, then I was mildly annoyed by something. Now I’m ragingTrumpist!”
Same energy as born again Christians trying to convert me from atheism.
“I used to be you!”
No, you were a slightly less annoying version of you. You don’t know me at all.
There’s a “joke” that if you put 3 leftists in a room, out comes 5 political parties.
Mostly that works because what the establishment thinks of as left is really centralist. Real leftists would advocate for socialism.
Of course the US goes even further into the insane category by basically just having everyone be right-wing with different flavors.
Real leftists would advocate for socialism.
True, but there are there differing approaches to socialism: MLs want authoritarian socialism (government runs everything), while Democratic Socialists usually want a hybrid of market socialism (co-ops) and government run socialism for needs that free market co-ops cannot address. And then there are libertarian socialists who want only worker owned co-ops and syndicates. Finally, we have SocDems that want indirect socialism where strong regulations and labor protections try to achieve socialist goals through capitalism.
Real leftists would advocate for socialism.
Only socialism? Fucking LIB! A real Leftist would have advocated for Communism!
Did you do that on purpose? Illustrate the truth of the joke by no-true-Scotsmaning leftism, I mean? Because if so, bravo, and if not, lol
There’s nothing more leftist than saying other leftists aren’t real leftists. Congratulations.
Oh, so is my syndicalist ass a centrist? What about my mutualist wife? There’s the MLs vs the MLMs (who almost nuked each other). We managed to form two separate armies in most socialist revolutions
I was a lefty . It’s weird that trumps 1st round is what convinced me i wasn’t. During that time, the bullshit of the left really became loud. These people seething with rage about political things…
What really became obvious to me was the “liberal media.” I noticed how left all of mainstream media actually was. One can see through the lies if one opens their eyes.
I don’t like trump. But the left doesnt have America’s best in heart. I think Harris and walz are scrubs… they are last picks. Imagining Harris as president, that’s scraxy.
