  1.  @misterjoey3384  Left-wing in the sense that "left" means nanny government. But yeah. "Good" progressives don't like regime-change foreign policy any more than libertarians and conservatives. But all the news networks LOVE war these days. All the legacy networks, including FOX, suppressed any doubts about the 2020 election or the wisdom of experimenting on humans. FOX was more skeptical about lockdowns and vaccine mandates, while all their pundits got the jab. But they ALL loved the Iraq War(s), except for a small number of libertarian voices that FOX lets hang around. But there are still (imo) a lot of establishment 3rd rails that FOX won't touch. More spending? Higher taxes? Gun control? CNN and everybody but FOX is all-in, and even FOX is more establishment Republican than limited government and pro-liberty independent. But left and right don't mean what they used to. "Left" used to mean limited federal government and maximum liberty consistent with civil order and public safety. Nowadays, "left" means "I want the state to be my mommy and daddy, and liberty just gets in the way." Darn near every ex-hippie, who was all about liberty in the '60s is now a nanny-government establishment type. Except for a few like Jimmy Dore, who are basically socialists, but at least they don't lie to themselves about how the bureaucrats are taking over and trampling people's values and civil rights. What progressives don't understand is that better leaders won't cure the corruption that always sets in when you give bureaucrats and politicians too much power. There is no perfect, omniscient saint we can permanently appoint to such positions. The best we can do is not create those positions and for people to care for one another on the local level.
