Guys, at this rate I don't think the revolution's going to happen anytime soon.

Freedom is a humanist value. Curtailing freedom to do wrong is of course acceptable. Something most people here won't like is that the best gender/sexuality is hetero-CIS. That doesn't make the freedom not to be forced into the best humanist production of 20+ births per lifetime to not be a valid freedom. A feminist/queer supremacy can define wrongs as hiring practices, or not believing their preferred side in any accusation.

Autocracy, oppression, warmongering is not a left/right exclusivity. Warmongering against those less liberal than "us" is common. All of these are huge wrongs, not the slightestly cured by "leftism". Freedom has to be more important than good, because there is no non-evil way of imposing "only good", or especially, letting a ruling autocracy corrupt definition of good.

UBI is especially important as a solution to divisiveness. It is incredibly empowering to workers, and empowers both forming relationships, and empowering those unhappy into leaving relationships.

People who seek first to run away to greener pastures rather than try and maintain their own are the true scourges of society.

maybe i've just instinctively avoided places like this but that isn't my impression at all, i find that a lot of people agree even if they don't call themselves leftist at all, in fact the whole problem is that basically everyone has nearly identical beliefs but can't bear the thought of voting for leftists who want to actually treat people fairly.

frankly the sentiment of this post feels like astroturfing to sow discontent.
