@2704anonymous that's not a bug, it's a feature. One of the major things that separates political left from right is that the left believes in higher spending on social programs, that means higher taxes, that means more centralized government control. There's no way around it. And you're a damn fool if you think any government won't abuse that power, even in the hypothetical scenario that you get real leftist leadership that does care about public well being, that will only last as long as those particular people are in leadership roles, as soon as they're gone, they'll be swiftly replaced by people who abuse the good will of naive young leftist voters.

@GuitarJawn we had one, or at least the public perception of a disaster. Whether it's a real threat or not, people's reactions should tell you everything you need to know about the state of humanity. There could be aliens roaming the streets, zapping people with laser guns, and the same people who are freaking out about covid would deny it if the media told them to.

@purerage7963 and you're starting to see a lot of them realize they were fed a boatload of lies, but they're too committed at this point to reverse course and admit they were wrong. That's why they're so aggressive about it and have to shout from the rooftops how much they care about other people, and how everyone who disagrees with them is a racist science denier. Covid hysteria has become their entire identity, just like hating Trump was for the several years before.

That's fake news, obviously it's Elliot Page with bleached hair.

@elizabethsmusicandarts1590 I always hear this rhetoric, but nobody ever really explains it. What exactly is right wing about democrats?

@elizabethsmusicandarts1590 well of course the government is corrupt, leftist voters have given them more and more power over the last near century, in the form of perceived government aid. What did you expect? All Republicans have to do is just not be a democrat, the "both sides are bad" argument stems from leftist voters allowing them to be.

@Tony X it really is absurd. They just want free handouts, that's all. They make big statements about how much they hate the corruption, and they probably are being genuine in that, I don't think anyone likes corruption except the people who directly benefit from it. But when it comes to voting day, their greedy desire to leech off of people who are more successful than them overrides their desire to limit corruption. And then they act like it's everyone else's fault.

@2704anonymous well I think most people are further left ideologically than they are practically speaking. People who oppose wealth redistribution generally aren't coming from a place where they just hate poor people and want them to suffer, it's just that they don't think the solutions proposed by leftist ideologies are practical or plausible. And in many cases, that they would create and worsen problems. If we could live in a post scarcity world, where nobody was poor and nobody was suffering, that would be great, but that's just not the world we live in. Besides, in most cases, money isn't really what people are missing. I'm not trying to dismiss the struggles of people in poverty, or just struggling, but a sense of purpose is what's so often overlooked by the left. You can't buy that. All the government handouts in the world won't make people feel like they have a purpose in society, in fact it actually takes away a lot of the incentive to find purpose. And a lot of people don't even realize that's why they're unhappy. Humans have a natural tendency to be lazy and complacent, not all people, but a very large portion of people will just sit on their ass and play Xbox and eat Doritos all day if they have that option, without having to worry about money. You can do that for years and not realize why you're unhappy.

@2704anonymous I mean, I'm not a big fan of the fact that there are people with more money than they could spend in 100 lifetimes, but you also gotta keep in mind that those people create wealth for everyone else too. I'm not saying I want to invite Jeff Bezos over for dinner and be his caddy or anything like that, I'm sure he's a collosal POS, but the fact that we have such an overabundance of resources that you can have practically anything delivered to your door within a day, without even having to put pants on is pretty awesome. Again, not trying to downplay or dismiss the real struggles of real people, I'm pretty damn poor myself too, but this idea that the Uber wealthy are taking money and food out of the pockets of poor people is just false, that's not the root cause of poverty in western countries. Outsourcing to foreign countries that don't give a damn about ethical labor practices is the root cause, also immigration and women in the workforce. I know people don't want to hear that, and I'm not saying we should go back to the barefoot and pregnant days, but that's just common sense, women working means more people working, which means each person's median wage and income is going to be less. That's just basic math. And that's fine, it would just generally take 2 incomes to make ends meet for a family rather than one, but the astonishing divorce rate just compounds that problem, fewer and fewer single people are making enough money to support a family, and more and more people are single parents. Those 2 issues have a multiplying effect on each other.

@elizabethsmusicandarts1590 is that really your standard for what's considered right wing? Any kind of support of capitalism or foreign intervention whatsoever? There can't be a completely socialist economy on any kind of broad scale, it's just not possible, it's not a matter of ideology, it's a matter of practicality. It just doesn't work. The same as a completely capitalist economy wouldn't work. When someone refers to a nation or a person as "socialist" or "capitalist", they just mean that it's leans more towards one side or the other. Anyone who supports any kind of taxes is supporting socialism, and anyone who supports any kind of profit business is supporting capitalism. Which is pretty much everyone. And any reasonable person would say AOC definitely leans more towards socialism than capitalism. Plus she was probably just bullied into that vote by Pelosi and the rest of the swamp monsters, they probably threatened to expose her corruption if she didn't play ball. That's not an issue of her being "right wing" or even left, it's an issue of her being corrupt.

@JohnMoran you're not well.

@2704anonymous basically, I think businesses should be allowed to be in the business of making money. I'm not completely against regulations, I definitely think workers should be entitled to certain protections that ensure ethical treatment, but we also have to remember that a lot of other country don't care a damn bit about that kind of stuff, we need to take the foot off the gas on regulations and corporate taxes, we want American businesses to save money by keeping production in the states, we shouldn't be jacking up taxes so high that it's actually cheaper for them to outsource to countries that make starving 8 year olds make our Nikes. It's revolting that we're in so deep with that kind of shit, I know most people don't like the idea of Bezos sitting in his ivory tower while us plebs all live paycheck to paycheck, but I'm telling you, just taxing the shit out of him isn't solving anything. That's what him and all the other elites want, they're laughing their asses off at people thinking taxing the shit out of his corporation hurts him at all, he comes out ahead because of those policies.

@BillsMafiaExperience lmao, I love how you say leftists don't want free handouts, and then you explain how leftists want free handouts, but using different words. You're an extra special kind of special.

@maximmatusevich3971 I just think people should keep what they earn, and spend it as they want, within reasonable legal measures. That's all. Everyone with at least 20 brain cells understands this concept. Unfortunately, communists do not possess a brain. You just have a glob of rotten mashed potatoes where your brain used to be, if you ever had one.

@maximmatusevich3971 you really are the lowest of the low that's ever cursed this planet. If you had even a shred of decency you would just throw in the towel and quit life, it's the only thing you could ever even hypothetically do that would make your parents happy. I'm sure they would be more than ecstatic to be rid of you.
