Who shoot up schools and kill innocent people?




I've never heard the word far left ever


And whatever it is, it's probably some pink hair non binary person doing something goofy on the middle of a sidewalk, while people are ignoring they/them walking by without a care in the world.


Lol @ far-left
:mjlol:


they started saying far-left back in 2016 as muc has possible as a false equivocation to the very real far-right. it's crazy so many people didn't challenge the obvious propaganda. wtf is far-left? progressives didn't get more radical. :why:

Nah, it was a thing back in 2006-2007, just ill-defined to the point it defied challenge.​

MAGATs unironically co-signing Nazism yet managed to convince the country that corporatist Karen centered politics are "far-left". :mjlol: shyt is beyond cooked, mfs brains are deep fried.

The Far right is always worse, because they will argue in bad faith. They will manipulate stats if they eveb remotely know whaththey are talking about.; thus you need to be equppied to handle that.

The Far left typically actually has valid things to care about; their assessment on the overall system is accurate. they just don't always understand that you still need to vote in order to stop a Trump admin from happening.

Far left is say...how Hasan Piker acted this election. Typically I don't have an issue with them, but this time...I did. They were a part of why we lost. Palestine punishing by withholding votes was a problem. And them starting to use liberal as almost a slur is an unnecessary fragmented of the base. But they can be reasoned with as soon as you corner them into facing the idea that allowing Trump to win, hurts marginalized groups.

Hasn Pikers just AVOID people that'll call them out on this.

But the Far right? They will never concede, they will move in bad faith, they'll gaslight, and if you have them on a point...it won't change anything because the real motive is white nationalism.

Hell look at ab episode of piers morgan uncensored to see how the right wing moves in a debate.

In my experience of worst case scenarios, far-right supporters tend to make super narrow minded arguments while far-left supporters tend to make highly subjective, emotional arguments.

Both agg tf outta me but politics aside and purely from a debate/intellectual discussion perspective…getting loud and passionate without facts is the biggest way to trigger my disinterest in talking to you. So my answer is probably far left.

Call me crazy but you can have the most fukked up/opposite of my own perspective…but if delivered in a calm, rationale sense we can get through the convo with no problem.
Everyone who liked this post is an idiot and probably doesn’t know what “far left” is and probably think it’s someone who cares about something like trans rights versus someone who has a hyper focus on economic rights.

What most people on here would call the “far left” is responsible for every positive aspect of their life in America. It’s always the progressive movements that create baselines like minimum wage, civil rights, k-12, etc. What happened is Reagan beat the Democrats ass so bad they started electing Clinton type Democrats who push moderate measures, and working class Democrats no longer exist in Congress until very recently. So anyone to the left of that is considered far left when they’re literally just traditional New Deal type Democrats. The other issue is that you assume people who withhold their votes are on your side or your share your interests - they’re not really. Americans are inherently self-interested and most will vote selfishly or on one issue. Republicans are more loyal to brand than Democrats and are over 80 percent white people - potential Democrats are literally everyone else. It’s harder to keep that coalition together.

Point being - this idea of assuming anyone who is not a Republican is the left and those who won’t vote for any Dem as far left is a misunderstanding of the electorate. Muslim voters who flipped Michigan over Gaza aren’t socially or economically “far left.” You’re equating anyone who doesn’t go with the Democratic Party consensus as far left and that person - no offense - should be in the poll. The person who watches MSNBC and thinks that they know more than everybody.

From my experience, you can shut up liberals (far left) with facts. With conservatives (far-right) they will continue talking no matter how much their assessment is debunked. :manny:

Edit: The far-left is typically all over the place on issues and isn't consistent. The far-right has a cult like doctrine/ideology where they are all on the same page regardless if it's true or not.
