“Because you can’t lie”<:KEK:726877368601411624>

LOL

I was able to convince a friend that the things they heard about Trump were not completely so, at least

Dang bro, so true.

chat is referring to liberals as people that align with the left side of the political spectrum

Currently, i presume, as opposed to classically. Because "the left" is ot what it was.

*not

Not primarily, a liberal is not a far right activist. But many people associate with them.

Shit I’ll take another 1000 a year 😂

Why the fuck complain about that

inflation mainly achilles

Don't know

Incorrectly associate <:thinking:726878987837636698>

Maybe so

liberals can be far right, depending on how much government enforcement they want

Idk I honestly don’t think 1000 a person is going to effect anything

It is so because it is wholly incorrect

it also depends on which axis you are measuring, which test your are using, and which semantic definition

I would hope so too achilles, but i feel like its just fuel to a raging bushfire sometimes.

Put "far right" in quotes because it is so ambiguously defined

Yeah true

I tend to use left and right as collectivism vs individualism

Would you agree that there is a place for the left though?

Well, not agree, necessarily. Hold that view, then?

but there's more to, just in a general sense

As a counterweight to the very possible excesses of thre "right?"

Oh dissenting opinion is very important but the world should not be viewed as a playground of academic ideas

there's absolutely a use for the left, much of the innovation, entrepreneurship, and voice for the little guy is valuable, but it requires a constant counterbalance or it descends into tyranny, hedonism and suffering

a common trope is the left starts a company and the right runs it

Only to counteract a token amount of political positioning. Other than that most of their policies can rot in hell

I tend to think that the right is "better," broadly s[peaking, but like any human institution is prone to corruption, power grabbing, elitism etc

if it has something to fight it stays on its toes more, so to speak.

or should

things are very good in the world, which is why the left has to look for more and more absurd radical shit to fight for

intersting

very good how?

curious to know

We have hope in a higher power, compared to the ebbing flows of overly humanistic doctrine

economic progress and relief of suffering on a global scale, the reduction in wars worldwide

When I look at L vs R politically, I tend to focus on what they want to permit and allow in society. As of recent its become obvious the Left think they can "cater" safely towards absolutely everyone, whereas the right seem to prefer catering only towards those who they already are. The right seem far more sustainable long term due to the focus implied.
