roughly like this

2018-12-10 01:03:33 UTC  

i never was a big fan of the left

2018-12-10 01:05:26 UTC  

Ok that's a lot of right, blue ones are pretty rare tbh. I don't even know how you can get that far.

2018-12-10 01:06:46 UTC  

the left in canada pushed me

2018-12-10 01:07:00 UTC  

I think you have to edgelord it to make it into either the top-left corner of red quadrant, or the top-right corner of the blue quadrant

2018-12-10 01:07:05 UTC  

Oh, so you're a reactionary. Makes sense.

2018-12-10 01:07:14 UTC  

also

2018-12-10 01:07:16 UTC  

i'm anti-abortion anti-immigration anti-gay marriage and anti-LGBT

2018-12-10 01:07:22 UTC  

most people call movements that aren't leftist, "leftist"

2018-12-10 01:07:27 UTC  

So you're normal

2018-12-10 01:07:31 UTC  

i guess

2018-12-10 01:07:37 UTC  

the vast majority of political movements are centrist in nature

2018-12-10 01:07:45 UTC  

"Leftist" tends to refer to neo-liberalis

2018-12-10 01:07:52 UTC  

....

2018-12-10 01:07:53 UTC  

i also hate trudeau with a passion

2018-12-10 01:07:53 UTC  

but they are like

2018-12-10 01:07:55 UTC  

anti-leftist

2018-12-10 01:07:56 UTC  

lmao

2018-12-10 01:07:59 UTC  

That's not what I meant

2018-12-10 01:08:04 UTC  

I meant that's how people define Leftist

2018-12-10 01:08:12 UTC  

Not that was what a leftist is

2018-12-10 01:08:14 UTC  

that's utterly ridiculous though

2018-12-10 01:08:20 UTC  

But that's what they think

2018-12-10 01:08:27 UTC  

also apparently believing first generation immigrants cant fully integrate with society makes me right wing

2018-12-10 01:08:34 UTC  

I would define Leftist as socialist and anything beyond that

2018-12-10 01:08:41 UTC  

I mean I think its very hard to argue that Bernie Sanders is like a genuine leftist either

2018-12-10 01:08:42 UTC  

and yes

2018-12-10 01:08:43 UTC  

I agree

2018-12-10 01:08:54 UTC  

Bernie Sanders is a welfare capitalist

2018-12-10 01:08:58 UTC  

bernie sanders is a socialist

2018-12-10 01:09:01 UTC  

leftism is synonymous with socialism and its various schools of thought, whether that be communism, mutualism, anarchism, syndicalism, etc.

2018-12-10 01:09:05 UTC  

Nah, he isn't a socialist

2018-12-10 01:09:08 UTC  

he isn't

2018-12-10 01:09:09 UTC  

no

2018-12-10 01:09:12 UTC  

he is a social democrat

2018-12-10 01:09:14 UTC  

he thinks socialism = FDR and Europe

2018-12-10 01:09:17 UTC  

basically the same thing

2018-12-10 01:09:19 UTC  

now, social democrats *used* to be leftists

2018-12-10 01:09:21 UTC  

but they aren't anymore

2018-12-10 01:09:25 UTC  

haven't been for half a century

2018-12-10 01:09:46 UTC  

they used to want social ownership of means of production
