@TROBassGuitar so someone isn't a leftist unless only leftists listen to them? That's not politics, buddy, that's a cult.

I think the problem is acting like there's some kind of "one size fits all" solution to criminal justice. We have to balance the safety and rights of people who would become victims if we go too light on crime with making any efforts we can to actually rehabilitate instead of just vengefully punish, within reasonable boundaries. And we also have to understand and accept that some people can't, or won't be rehabilitated.

@Ar1AnX1x if you think Tim Pool doesn't criticize Trump, then you've never actually watched Tim Pool. And if you think the trucker protest has anything to do with fascists, your brain is a potato.

@Ar1AnX1x ok, even if you're correct, (you're not), what does that say about BLM? Their leaders actually are communists, they call themselves communists. They wave communist flags at their riots.

@brothersandsistersofvalhalla so what is the Canadian government reversing then? Because they've already announced that they're reversing covid mandates. And imagine unironically thinking communism is a good idea. That's an extra special kind of special.

@hca42 you brought the misery on yourself, don't get mad when people tell you they told you so. Because we did.

@jca9417 I'm a Yankees fan, and I live in Houston. And I know that sounds completely random, and unrelated, and it is a pretty silly comparison, but the Yankees have a sort of..... Toxic fan base. I was trying to find a delicate way of putting it, but there really isn't one. Not only because they're just hugely popular, so there's a lot of people who call themselves Yankees fans, but don't really care about the Yankees, or baseball that much, they're just sort of casual fans, but there's also just a ton of extremely obnoxious and elitist fans that like to act like every other team sucks, and you suck if you like anyone but the Yankees. So especially living outside of NY, I find myself being put on the defensive a lot, and I'm just kinda like hey man I like the Yankees. That doesn't mean I'm anything like anyone else who likes the Yankees, other than us both liking the Yankees. So I see it sorta like that. There's a big element of the left that's just awful these days. You can call that out and still be on the left, and all of the people who try to say otherwise are exactly like the toxic Yankee fans I'm referring too, your personal view on something is completely separate from the behavior of other people who share that view with you.

@Mynyel the OP said he's "representative" of average Americans, not that he's just like them.

@gkier88 I think the opposite is true, as people go further left, the more they favor government programs and spending to "help" people. I would argue that if you think the government should take care of your fellow neighbors rather than you all taking care of each other, you're less empathetic than people who want the government to get out of the way and let us take care of each other.

I used to be considered more liberal than most of my conservative friends, and now I'm called a fascist and alt right by people who unironically think communism is a good idea. It's hilarious. Actual fascists would hate my views just as much as communists do, but I'm pretty sure a fascist would at least have a perception of my personal views that aligns with reality. That's pretty bad. That's how insane the left is. Even fascists are grounded in reality compared to them.
2
@SothisTheDog I've always been right leaning, I guess my views were a little more liberal when I was younger, but my overall position hasn't changed a lot. My view on certain issues, sure, I guess the most I've changed is going more towards libertarian on some issues.
2
@SothisTheDog no, he's not a right winger at all, he's a left wing hippie that's just been cast into politics because the far left has gone completely bat shit insane and is consuming more and more of the left every day. He just calls it like he sees it, he just wants people to live free and be happy. And he's often short sighted because politics just isn't his thing, but he's a perfect litmus test for how insane the left has gone, if a dude that's really not that into politics is just kinda like ok I don't know what that is, but you dudes are crazy, and he's considered right wing, because the people he's criticizing are objectively crazy.... Well that tells you everything you should need to know.
2
@Ar1AnX1x right, because everything on Facebook is definitely true.
2
@brothersandsistersofvalhalla you don't really believe all the media smears against them, do you? Really? After everything the media has lied about, you still don't get it yet?
2
@brothersandsistersofvalhalla oh, right, so Canada is reversing covid mandates that don't exist?
2
@RoyGBiv-lc8tv it is real, it's not even a conspiracy theory, numerous giant corporations have openly spoken about it and celebrated it.
2
@Shark-hn4mv a lot of it is just a wide range of different subjects he appeals to, if you're into comedy, he's had several guests on that you like, if you're into MMA, same, politics, same, random crazy stuff like archaeology or drugs, he's got that covered too. So it just creates a lot of overlap with his viewers, someone might watch a clip because their favorite martial artist was on, and then get a recommendation for someone talking about dinosaurs and shit and they're like oh damn, dinosaurs are cool too.
2
@TheHuxleyAgnostic I love how you're accidentally proving the OP right, and you're too stupid to notice.
1
All this list proves is that the left is mostly bat shit insane, and not interesting enough for people to want to listen to them.
1
@HalcyonSunset right, so you don't want to actually help anyone, you just want the government to force other people to help. Exactly what I'm talking about.
1
@HalcyonSunset you can help. Nobody is stopping you. If you really believe in helping others as a matter of principle, you wouldn't need the government to hold a hypothetical gun to your head, and you wouldn't care who else is helping and how much they're helping. You would just do it. Because it's the right thing to do.
1
@HalcyonSunset but isn't it about the principle of it? You're the one claiming to be more "empathetic". Demanding that the government solve everyone's problems doesn't seem very empathetic to me, seems like you could be getting off your ass and living your own self stated principles in the meantime, maybe you could lead by example and change some minds that way. If you actually want to. But to me it sounds like you just want free money, like all socialists.
1
Ron H influence politics by crying on the internet? You know people in conservative areas actually do help each other, right? Conservatives donate more to charity on average than their liberal counterparts, despite having a lower average income. And crime and poverty are also proportionally lower in conservative counties than their liberal counterparts. So you're objectively incorrect about charity never fixing problems. Charity as a whole has also increasingly gone down across the board as taxes have been raised throughout the past decades.
1
@HalcyonSunset I've noticed this trend among the left, you all seem to have an extremely pessimistic view of humans in general, and think that nobody would ever do the right thing unless they have to. I think that's more indicative of your circle of people than it is with reality, you're probably mostly around other leftists, both online and in the real world. And most leftists are shitty people that would never help another person unless their life depended on it. I know some people suck, but they don't all suck. I live in a pretty diverse area outside of Houston, people from all kinds of different views, and I see a little truth in your pessimism, but I also know a lot of great people who do a ton to help out people around them and generally just live a good, morally grounded life. You get what you give. Maybe start trying to be a good person and people will be better to you.
1
@HalcyonSunset what does that even mean, "advocate" for the poor? I know what the word means, but what does that mean in reality? What are you doing? Just talking about it on the internet? You've already admitted you don't help anyone, and you just want the government to make rich people give the government a lot of money, presumably so you can have it. What does that do for the poor? What's the tangible value in that? And you know you do more harm than good, right? Look at that douche bag loser from the antiwork thing that made a fool of the entire movement on live TV, that's how the overwhelming majority of people view you, for good reason. They see you as whiny and entitled, pretending to care about the "big picture", when really all you want is to sit on your ass and play Xbox all day while you get government checks rolling in just because you exist. If you want to be taken seriously as actually caring about the poor, you would get off your ass and start caring about the poor. Start a movement, gather up all your leftist friends and start volunteering your time to help the homeless, and other people in need. Show the world you actually do care, and you're not just whining on the internet. If you actually do care. Which you and I both know you don't.
1
@brothersandsistersofvalhalla I never said it did, I even stated earlier some numbers about charity, and conservatives and liberals. Although this is a pretty long thread so I'm sure you didn't read all of my comments. But I'm not making that claim. My initial claim was that people who favor charity over government intervention are actually more empathetic than people who favor government intervention, and I stand by that, and there are numbers that reflect that.
1
@brothersandsistersofvalhalla well done take my word for it, if you're curious whether I'm right or not, look it up yourself. And wouldn't you agree that in the past decades we've definitely gone further in the direction of government intervention? I don't think there's really any argument against that. Does it look like things have gotten better, or worse in regard to the people in most desperate need? Look at some statistics around homelessness and general poverty, and correlate that with the increase in government programs.
1
@brothersandsistersofvalhalla I didn't say we've gone in the direction of helping people, I said we've gone in the direction of more government intervention. And you're accidentally agreeing with my point, you're admitting that more government intervention sucks, because it leads to more corruption. That's not a bug, it's a feature. And here the left is, arguing to have even more government intervention, while also complaining about the government not helping enough, while also pretending to be empathetic. It's big brain time.
1
@brothersandsistersofvalhalla I said exactly what I meant, no need to twist any words, you're the one that attempted to twist my words. And comparing countries to each other, apples to apples is extremely dishonest, and you know that. That's why I'm comparing the US to the US, and as government intervention has increased, so has wealth inequality and a whole host of other problem. That is also a FACT.
1
@brothersandsistersofvalhalla I haven't been dishonest about a goddamn thing, and you know it. I'm sure you disagree with me about pretty much everything, since communists don't usually agree with sane, functioning members of society, but I haven't said a single dishonest thing. And you can't point to an example, because there is no example.
1
@PDXMILO isn't it just the peak of arrogance, how these progressives think they have the whole world figured out, with all their 25 years of worldly knowledge? And all the countless billions of people over several millennia who existed before them were just dumb knuckle draggers, uncultured savages compared to the sagely and nobel modern progressives. They're so much smarter than you. Even though they can't figure out how to pay off their student loan debts.
1
@Gum_Cuzzler just saying "things were bad in the past so let's just change everything" also isn't a good enough justification to just change anything you want in any direction you want, with absolutely zero grounding in objective reality.
1
Swift BMF no they're legitimately that stupid, I've seen a lot of that person's comments, every single one of them is just as stupid as that one. It might actually be a penguin that's somehow figured out how to use an iPhone. In which case they're definitely the smartest penguin in the world. But that's the most credit I can give them.
1
@dukethighwalker6839 and they lie and say that the Overton window is shifting to the right. Because they think everyone else is as stupid as they are.
1
@everythingsfine1395 you don't even know how to say words, I don't think you're in a position to question anyone else's intelligence. There are birds that know how to say words.
1
@SothisTheDog lmao, I love how the people in this thread that are disagreeing with the OP are all accidentally proving them right. This is fantastic.
1
@Ar1AnX1x so by your own standard, you're admitting that BLM is a communist movement? Or does this standard only apply to people you don't like?
1
@daveruda in other words "leftism is stupid, and we can't keep people in our cult unless we shame them into not watching other content."

🤣🤣🤣

@bobriquardo5317 sounds like BLM.

I don't believe in anti-murder mandates, I just think people should be severely punished for committing murder.
1
@anewfuture it's funny how if you ask people if they want something for free, most people say yes, but then when you're honest about the same question and tell them it's not exactly free, suddenly that percentage of people saying yes dramatically plummets. But progressives are all dishonest, 100% of them, otherwise they wouldn't be progressives. So they use polling of just asking people if they want free stuff as some kind of evidence that most people agree with them.
