I'm far-ting.
*In the US
Go to most other Western societies and your version of "far-left" is new, naive, and conservative. In my country, most right-wingers back all the "socialism"—by American definition—that we have.
Y'all got decades of catching up to do. I admire the surge, but you've got a lot of examples around the world of how to actually do it. All the while also understanding what you apparently claim to stand for.
Keep enjoying that Us versus Them game though, since that's more what Americanism is into. Love that division. Good job 👍 /s
This meme references the "far-left," ie Communists, Socialists, Anarchists, etc, not the Social Democrats. If it was referring to the American "left," it would say "liberals."
How's your political propaganda out there?
ALL of our major media outlets are for profit corporations and serve as propaganda outlets.
NONE of our major media outlets speak honestly about progressive policies.
ALL of our right wing propaganda equates socialism with "the left" and "the left" is portrayed in the absolute worst ways possible. They constantly talk about Venezuela and eating rats (they say we want that). The argument about abortion is almost entirely to be at opposition with "the left" and to paint us as "baby murderers." Any conversation about taxation is equated to theft from "hard workers" to be given to "lazy slobs who pop out babies to collect free money." They specifically take opposition to anything "the left" wants so they don't have to have policies other than "hate the other."
What about people who are just left?
They're cowards.
You mean like a Market Socialist or something?
I'm not left or right. I hate you all mutually. 👍
Middle-of-the-road person: "You are not in a culture war or an ideology war. You are both in a CLASS war, run by billionaires who are the REAL source of your pain. They use the six corporations that control all the news to distract you and keep you fighting with each other so that they . . . the rich . . . can run off with all the f*cking money."
