My faction? No. We are the left. The people you are calling the left are fascists. They are not the left.

I suppose you’re a defeated nihilist then.


Honestly at this point, what differs your kind (whatever it is, feel free and clarify) from right-wing populism? (Which I identify as) Both hate Wall Street and the Hyper rich, both want economies to work for localities and people rather than exploitative world-spanning monopolies, both love guns and the freedom to own them, and both want to be as good of stewards of the natural environment as possible.

Is the only difference at this point that you want to be able to fuck anything and anyone for any reason, and have a particular hatred for white people?

Everyone's heard of horseshoe theory

I asked you a genuine question sir, I think it has important implications for the future. If all you want to do is stick your ding dong in various things, kill your babies, do whatever drugs you want, etc, I really don't care so long as you we don't have to live next to each other. Given that, I don't see why there is a literal cold (sometimes hot) war happening. Well, I should say, I do see why, I just think if folks looked at the bigger picture, they'd see a common enemy.

The elite are the common enemy. Most right wingers would be leftists if they weren’t all coked up on False Consciousness.

I'm still a righty, (maybe a centrist), but not coked up on the crazy right wing nuttery.

The only common enemy is misinformation, and the left is as guilty as the right on spreading, and consuming.

Are they though? How do we quantify that? It seems to me that misinformation is significantly more prevalent on the right.

Let me tell you about the misinformation spread about the Kyle Rittenhouse issue, by left media.


According to many leftists I've talked with over the last month, both in person, and online: (this is just a small list.)

Kyle shot 3 black men.

Kyle brought a weapon over state lines.

Kyle used a fully automatic weapon.

Kyle was/is a white supremacist.

Kyle lied under oath about how old he was.

Kyle wasn't part of the community of Kenosha.

Kyle has a record of misdemeanors. (My mother said this one.)

Lower taxes

free market

restrictions on immigration

2a rights and self defense


But then again, I disagree with some other aspects such as military industrial complex, abortion control, deregulating industries (especially critical ones like POWER,) and unions being bad/evil.
In fact, I support healthcare reforms, revamping (if not removing) the health insurance racket, and trying to make the world a better place. Hell, I agree with raising taxes - on the ultra wealthy. (lets say, over 5m/year.) Hell, put a wealth tax on them too (over 20m total assets at ... 0.5%, and 1% over 50m, and 2% over 100m, and so on...)


The difference is, I'm not dumb enough to believe politicians care for what they say most of the time, and I know that people will find fault with me no matter what I say or do, because of my beliefs don't wholly align with theirs 100%. The sheep on both sides hate me.

And here I am, made a better life for myself, hate the other people of my skin color, and despise the lazy-by-choice, druggies, and anyone else to weak-willed to improve. Left, OR right.

Right wing capitalist media like CNN and MSNBC arent leftist media.
