  • Even when talking about Americans, the definitions don’t change.
    Even if you do it among yourselves, using ‘left’ for what is only objectively ‘relatively left’ people will not even know what actual left is.
    That’s getting Orwellian.
    Hypothetically, if you’re from a extremely violent country except for the small area where you happen to live and you only see 4 people being shot in your street every day, would you think it’s accurate to call that a peaceful area?





  • We may not agree on how I rate people because I am writing them in context of the voters around me.

    Well you are right.
    A typical American thing, many of them have a faulty benchmark for rating since they only think about their own country.
    This while the rest of the world mostly uses these terms accurately since they don’t have this narrow spectrum and they are well defined and universal.
    Especially online that can lead to confusion.

    Look around you, 330M americans.

    I’m not American so my Overton window is what it should be, unlike the unhealthy US landscape.
    And even on mine I am pretty far left.

    Nothing wrong with being a lefty

    Certainly not, but you should at least know to rate them accurately.
    Larping as left like AOC or Bernie doesn’t cut it.

    They’re burning their own cars?
    A Tesla is a shit car, it can not compete without protectionism and would lose hard against superior Chinese cars anyway without massive protectionism.
    Tesla stocks isn’t even at its lowest point.

    Even if it was, what would it have ‘achieved’? It won’t even hurt Musk personally.
    As if he would care about a few billion less.
    He has other companies and many gov defense contracts to help terrorise the world. Plenty of them made under your great lib gov.
    I guess he was still OK when he demanded to keep his factories open in peak covid times or when he did plenty of other horrible things?






  • when Republicans are in power

    That’s when Bernie starts making a hell of a noise and proposing the most progressive bills he knows will never make it.
    You would have to be really stupid to fall for this, and there’s a saying for it too but when even one of their presidents can’t even recite that you know they are a lost cause.




  • The ONLY reason they temporarily (and royally late) fought nazis was to stop the Soviets from liberating the whole of western Europe.
    European competition nicely destroyed after which these vultures made us their vasals.
    If anything they helped plenty nazis escape or rehabilitated them.
    And I’m sure they caused more famines than solved them.
