Don’t worry, the kind and charitable hand of the free market will pay for everything. All rich people want to do is maintain roads.

Using condoms as condoms would decrease the incest.

While that is true to an extent it doesn't justify the absolute insanity that has been coming from the far right over the last several years. But go ahead, enjoy your time. Just a reminder... like all the other "political eras" before it, MAGA won't last forever.

I would judge the far left far more cult like. Lots of Maga weirdos for sure but they don't come close to the far left when it comes to being cultish

Define "far left."

Because I have a feeling when you say "far left" and when I say "far left," we're talking about two entirely different things.

- Proudly far-left

MAGA is the most prominent cult in modern US politics for sure.

It sounds like you're definition of "far left" would include members of the Democratic Party, because that sounds like a generic "#Resistance" thing that has nothing to do with what anti-capitalists believe in.

I'm not trying to harp on this, but this is one of my biggest problems when it comes to political conversations.

Democrats, and Democratic voters, are not remotely far left. They support a corrupt political party that largely backed Israel's slaughter in Gaza, consistently attacked leftists and inpendents when they spoke for better alternatives, and need I mention their attacks on third parties?

The far left should be a label used only for anti-captalists. I don't even think the DSA would qualify as "far left" to me, unless a large swath of their membership was doing it for harm reduction (which is a theory I 100% reject).

If we can't agree on what labels mean, then how can we ever effectively communicate?

i think that "far left" is used to evoke anti-capitalist, socialist, communist, whatever. but the problem comes from applying that label to anything that doesn't lean right on whatever issue they're trying to defend at a given time.

The amount of Republicans who think that people like Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer are socialists just shows what a terrible education this country has.

And honestly, I can correct these people all day, but it'll never work. If someone seriously thinks that Obama was somehow a socialist, they are simply a lost cause.

I'd argue that labels can be quite useful if used correctly.

If you think otherwise, I look forward to watching the Police Academy movies in October, since 'horror' can't be used as a label anymore. :P
