The media is going to oppress them, until they empower the Centerists before the populist right defeat them in an election.

And if anyone identifies as a leftist, but has views that skew bigoted, then they aren't leftist.

Paradise?
Oh - you mean "The Plight of the Mole People"?

Copied and pasted for you.
I don't think there's a better answer than this for any of us.
You need to stop cheerleading for groups of people who'd rather eat a homeless person's teeth than give them a little money. They helped bring fascism to your doors.

The Democrats you voted for have just lost an election to literal Nazis. And they lost because they have no politics, looked away while the country was being financially pillaged by billionaires, silenced victims of abuse and helped fund a genocide.
Irony, thy name is "America Fuck Yeah."

What is funny is how a country can have two conservative political parties fighting to the point of the overton window bding dragged to fascist territory and then having hardcore voters of one of those parties lecturing on what makes a leftist. 😂😂

I do like the Snyder movies, though. And I'd rather they made an entirely new Universe - or at least a new Superman movie - someone other than ZS and James Gunn.

In fairness, no story has to be linear. The Odyssey doesn't have to be linear.
It's an ancient parable and most people know how the story goes. That means you can present it as though the audience knows what happens.
I'd argue this is also a boon of certain genres.

Not just Snyder but WB.
The studio creates the fanbase.

Even as Civil War tried to deepen Tony Stark, the film was directed by two obvious Reagan kids.

"Dude, she's correct"
Followed by:
"you're that kind of obnoxious lefty"
These two statements link. This is how you're conservative without knowing it^
I'm just a lefty.
It's how we all are.
You must have a history of voting for rightwing parties, solely built to lose to Republicans.
comment in response to
post
And you think I'm talking about, what, slapping Republican voting stickers on babies.
Can you only read in the most literal sense? Do words not envoke any kind of imagery? Metaphor? Simile?
Or if I say "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" you'll believe that I want to actually eat a horse?
comment in response to

Guessing you're a Democrat?
They're a rightwing party you know...
They have just lost an election to the most dangerous politician in the country, partly because they wouldn't stop arming a genocide.
Wanna say genocide isn't rightwing? I dare you.

You're born into a system. Babies don't have political opinions(no shit.)
What I am saying is that the system creates the voter. And America is a very, very rightwing country. And has been as long as I've been alive.
So the odds of growing up to be conservative are higher than some other countries

Then creepy author does bad things to women, and then all of a sudden *shock*
The creepy author, who no one knows or know truly anything about, never details what they actually believe in, literally living half a fake life, mistreating women.
And you're shocked by this?
comment in response to
post
So here's the thing:
The spreadsheet comes AFTER. You're not supposed to blindly dub people leftist:
"creepy book author says Trump's views on women is wrong"
"Wow, well done! You condemned something, creepy author! You can't be hiding anything bad because of this statement. Welcome to the left!"
comment in response to
post
Are you American or not?
Because if you are, sorry but because of the country you're in, you were statistically born more rightwing.
Maybe just born rightwing in general.
You're mistaking progressiveness for being a leftist as measured by a piece of paper after the fact
comment in response to
post
My argument is coming from the fact that you think Progressive = leftist.
It's not.
The Clintons are known as progressives. He's a rapist and Hillary helped him silence his victims.
comment in response to
post
That IS what you're saying, but you're calling them leftists.
If there are people who "do" (whatever that means) a lot for the progressive movement but they themselves do not act progressively, they're NOT progressive.

Fuck!
My obvious AI profile picture has hidden my femininity 😂
comment in response to

But I'm not deeming them leftist:
A scientific TABLE is.
A giant political SPREADSHEET is.
It's data.
And before you say it:
no, I didn't INVENT the political spectrum. It's quite an old document that's been used for, like, years.
Sense my fucking sarcasm, you angry American.
comment in response to

Listen and believe WHAT?
You've not said anything for me to listen and believe, you've only been telling me something that's factually, scientifically, politically, really really really wrong.
You've made a mistake in your argument and you're only not listening to me?
comment in response to
post
I'm literally acknowledging those experiences.
I'm even detailing them in stories. Because I'm a leftist. I don't want anything bad to happen to women. I want all women - even the assholes - to live happy lives.
And you keep calling me "dude."
Why?
comment in response to
post
You're comparing molehills to great big fucking mountains.
No one gives a shit about weird Scottish Xenophobic jokes.
If a woman's safety and/ord is put in danger because of political policy, it means an attack of rightwing politics.
"Conservatism."
"Right...wing."
^ Clue is in the name.

Again, Scotsman thing is a dumb answer.
"A person who doesn't like to wear a kilt is not a Scotsman. "
Vs.
"A man votes against the right to have an abortion in the state you're supposed to call home."
If a leftist voted for this... They by all scientific measure cannot factually be a leftist.
comment in response to

... What?
comment in response to
post
No True Scotsman is the dumbest reply to this. It's not factoring in the gravity of politics:
An allegory containing mundane shit like "Scottish people don't have honey in their oatmeal"
Vs
A person who wants a bill to be passed that makes the rape of traumatised women easier to get away with.

Sexism is a rightwing thing to do. So you'd slide to the right on the spectrum. media.tenor.com/HcmiMeBy_WIA...
comment in response to
post
Ok - for example:
Neil Gaiman...
Never once fully disclosing his position on the spectrum (something which you cannot self-proclaim anyway...)
"NEIL GAIMAN = SEXUAL ABUSER WHO...MAKES GIRLFRIEND EAT THEIR OWN SHIT"
I don't know what they are but they're definitely not a leftist.
comment in response to

The spectrum is a political science tool.
Again, stop talking about fucking nicknames.
This is why there is infighting - we keep labeling bad people as part of the left.
They're not.
They're conservative.
comment in response to
post
This is what people need to understand:
These aren't just nicknames for people. This isn't like you're on a leftist football team.
Being a leftist means that your personal values and policies allign on the political spectrum.
You have conservative views and you move right.
comment in response to
post
The people saying this categorically cannot be leftist.
Start labelling people properly.
Politics is measured on a spectrum. If you're socially conservative on that spectrum, you shift righwards.
comment in response to

This has a beginning, though:
The Democratic Party - the worker's party - for years has been a conservative party fighting against workers.
This is THE biggest instance liberals fighting the left, and the turnover that began the left vs liberal conflict.

Tge commenter is going to leave this chat, retreat and try again with someone else, feeling exactly the same way.
The only way America is to be settled is if people in the "resistance" become as emotionally volcanic as those on the right.
But that means dragging politicians out of their homes.
comment in response to

RIGHT:
The thing that is interesting me lately: even though you've just won this argument - becuase the idiot didn't see you name on the book - you've not won in the commenter's mind, simply because they are operating, like most Trump voters, PURELY on emotion.
Isn't that strange?
comment in response to
post
Both younger and older voters lean extreme. They vote by emotion, not by facts. Extremist leftists are the only ones who can prevent America from rotting in the way it is. Liberals hate leftists more than fascists.
The problem: liberally just cannot beat fascists in an election. They always lose.

No, it's worse. It's from a fucking Netflix movie that came out this week!

The criticism is valid due to the movie's time of release.
