The weird thing is for America that's radical left. For the rest of the world, it's just left.
The pendulum as to swing all the way before it swings the other way.
Ratchet effect baby!
Me, I think that's effectively bullshit, and here's that same image posted, with my reply:
I agree that Democrats are the only option to take down the radical right party. However, there is a point in the Democrat hierarchy after which there are only corporate interests and donors to please.
It is true that Democrats are more maleable and can be made to serve the people. This does not contradict the fact that their mismanagement and lack of advertising their wins makes them lose in the public opinion. It is disgusting that there were videos of Democrats covering their ears at Gaza protestors.
I really hope that the American people can help Democrats win the midterms and radically reduce the executive branch power while also reducing the lobbying power of big corporations before we reach technofeudalism.
Well said. A good modulation to what I initially stated.
Sadly, techno-feudalism might already said to be here, as I see it.
Meanwhile, all this as we race towards collapse, as effectively led by a group of billionaire fucks who simply don't care, and whose backup plan is to go live in their underground resorts when the inevitable happens. Sorry for my language.
My retirement plan is pouring concrete inside the ventilators of those rich fucks, don't worry
Eh, I'd say its more that it swings a unit one way, then 1.5 the other, then 2 units back, then 2.5 the other.
But what if you want to lock billionaires in camps?
Good people on both sides.
Okay but the far left also does things like getting rid of all the water in California so they can't fight fires.
I'm going to quote what I said in a sister comment:
The word “radical” is always going to include crazy, fringe stuff, but the real point here is that we’re not really talking about radical stuff but practical or already occurring things, plus the way Americans commonly mislabel all this stuff.
So #1 I'm not totally sure what you're referring to there, and #2 this was never really about the far left, anyway.
