What if I informed you that there are more than two options, and they don't have to be extremities? And what if I followed up by informing you that what we have in the US, for a political spectrum, is not the norm elsewhere in the world?
The political spectrum in the U.S. omits leftists entirely. Both Republicans and Democrats are pro-capitalism and pro-U.S. imperialism.
And what if that not only changed nothing, but didn’t refute the post?
My reply was more aimed at the title of the post and its sentiment. "Pick a side"
I'm not a believer that there are only two political options for the US, long term, and would love to see a true political multi-party representation in the US government. I believe that something not completely (EU) far left will prevail in the US. And absolutely not the (US) far right. (Perhaps I'm just being a wishful fool, and the US will crash and burn in the next 1-5 years. Hopefully, we can make it out of this mess without doing so. But if it has to happen, so be it.)
completely (EU) far left
The EU is only "far left" in comparison to the US.
But that's because the US has moved so far to the right that they can't see any other political position from where they stand.
I'd respond by saying you're too stupid to safely walk and chew at the same time and advise you to stop talking
WTF happened to centrism, instead of measured response to right and left it has just turned into the place where cowards hide
Social democrats are what centrists actually are and they're generally on board.
"Centrists" tho
Because both make money.
Why does the left have to keep being represented as long hair, man bun hippy types?
I mean..... I'm not in a position to disagree with it.
Yeah, I'm a balding hippy type
If you can only paint 'your side' as the hero, then you are a naive child with 0 life experience.
Reading 19th-20th century theory on the internal contradictions and inherent exploitation of capitalism offers a very convincing framework for understanding our current reality. To paint such analyses as naivete ironically reveals a lack of familiarity with the subject matter.
Those who have been critiquing, reading critiques, and debating about it for a long time are naive for not blindly buying Carl's Jr's Big Bucket of Fries!
Pure projection
