chad video

2019-12-23 02:39:09 UTC  

Oh my

2019-12-23 02:39:16 UTC  

Is that video going to call google left-leaning at all?

2019-12-23 02:39:33 UTC  

If so, I can't bring myself to watch it - I never understood that criticism and I never will

2019-12-23 02:40:33 UTC  

Muh right left dichotomy

2019-12-23 02:41:40 UTC  

Google is simply a company, beholden to nothing but profit

2019-12-23 02:41:49 UTC  

They loathe the far left, as they do the far right

2019-12-23 02:42:00 UTC  

They loathe any threats to power - they're simply capitalists at the core

@President SandersπŸ“πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ @Light In Latin America, such crimes are so rampant with a corrupt justice system that shooting them would be better.

Google recently fired a handful of workers spreading awareness of labor rights, in fact - something which a "leftist" company certainly would never do, considering that worker rights, and more generally, those of what leftists view as the "downtrodden", are central to leftist ideologies

2019-12-23 02:43:13 UTC  

Oh, sure - I'm not claiming to be a capitalist myself

2019-12-23 02:43:35 UTC  

I'm personally in favor of a mixed economy, still reliant upon a market system

2019-12-23 02:44:26 UTC  

Mind you, I'm also not in favor of fascism or a unitary state...

2019-12-23 02:44:33 UTC  

So I'm sure we disagree plenty too

2019-12-23 02:45:02 UTC  

@Light Is the economic system in the US the wrong mix though? We technically have a mixed economy.

2019-12-23 02:45:10 UTC  

Personally, I'd rather live with the negative excesses of capitalism rather than fascism

2019-12-23 02:45:38 UTC  

@Louis XIV (aka 1685Violin) Not necessarily, I think we are treading fairly heavily in neoliberal economics.

2019-12-23 02:45:39 UTC  

It's mixed only at a very base level, I'd say

2019-12-23 02:45:47 UTC  

We're neoliberal largely

2019-12-23 02:46:01 UTC  

Pursuing privatization, granting corporations more power...

2019-12-23 02:46:08 UTC  

I mean, it's to be expected of a capitalist economy

2019-12-23 02:46:11 UTC  

@Light As for your preference. I would disagree, although that is my political adherence.

2019-12-23 02:46:13 UTC  

This is the natural end result

2019-12-23 02:46:40 UTC  

Unitary states are simply... bad

2019-12-23 02:46:54 UTC  

Presuming you don't live in the capital, presuming you're not already among the select elite...

2019-12-23 02:47:13 UTC  

Not to mention, presuming there's an "ethnic nationalism" component, things are even worse

2019-12-23 02:47:29 UTC  

You're just causing unjust, required suffering

2019-12-23 02:47:52 UTC  

Fascists generally selectively curate the worst aspects of tradition in my opinion, too

2019-12-23 02:48:21 UTC  

no true leftist would fire workers!!!

2019-12-23 02:48:28 UTC  

I mean maybe that last part is right idk

2019-12-23 02:48:58 UTC  

Fire? Sure. Fire for advocating for labor rights? Fire for organizing? No.

2019-12-23 02:49:02 UTC  

Some traditions are stupid

2019-12-23 02:49:13 UTC  

Leftism literally relies upon organization of the working class

2019-12-23 02:49:19 UTC  

no lol

2019-12-23 02:49:28 UTC  

Hey

2019-12-23 02:49:31 UTC

2019-12-23 02:49:33 UTC
