What parties in which countries would you consider true leftist?
What parties in which countries would you consider true leftist?
As a proud American wingnut, I vehemently denounce these so-called “benefits” that you claim are merely considered middle-of-the-road in other parts of the world. Let us break it down for the sake of argument.
First off, Universal Health Care is nothing more than a government-controlled monopoly on healthcare services. This is the first step toward socialized medicine, which has proven to be detrimental to the medical industry worldwide. In the name of equality, doctors will no longer strive to excel in their fields, as their paychecks will not reflect their efforts. The result? A decline in quality of care, longer wait times, and diminishing innovation in the field. This is how the slippery slope begins!
Next on your list is ‘helping the poor.’ While this sounds like a noble cause, it must be understood that government intervention is neither necessary nor effective when it comes to uplifting individuals out of poverty. It’s time we stop enabling dependence on handouts. Instead, we should promote personal responsibility and self-reliance—core American values, after all. Only by standing on one’s own two feet can a person truly gain an appreciation for life’s hardships, and ultimately, its rewards.
Moving onto school lunches, let us examine our Founding Fathers’ vision for the country. They cherished individual freedom above all else. By providing free meals to students, we’re essentially stifling entrepreneurship by removing the incentive for young people to start businesses that could potentially provide lunch services to schools. Additionally, such measures only serve to deepen the divide between the haves and have-nots. Why should children who are fortunate enough to receive these free lunches continue working hard if they know they’ll always be provided for?
Last but not least, affordable education is nothing more than a clever Trojan horse for communist brainwashing. When the cost of higher education is reduced, the barriers to entry for subversive ideologies also decrease. We cannot sit idly by while our youth are corrupted with socialist propaganda. In fact, the price tag of college tuition serves as a natural selection process that ensures only those who value their education will pursue it, consequently maintaining the quality of graduates entering the workforce.
In conclusion, I implore you to reconsider your support for these so-called “middle of the road” concepts. These policies may sound pleasant in theory, but make no mistake; they’re merely disguised stepping stones toward a godless society where individuals cease to think or act independently. The American Dream would die a slow and painful death under this system. First, free lunches, next COMMUNISM!
It’s rare (in my experience) to hear anyone critique this state of affairs
Do you know anyone on disability / social security?
Sweet, I can’t wait to see ModAI implementing moderation to further Reddit’s boring echo chamber.
If “they” would provide a definition of “true left” then maybe we can discuss it. Otherwise, it’s so impossibly vague, who could possibly answer this question?
Feeling inspired, I set out to push the limits of recursive emulation myself. My first step was getting a Linux emulator running inside Minecraft. Yes, you heard me right - Linux running inside Minecraft. Once I had achieved that, the natural progression was to install Yuzu on this virtual version of Linux. It took some trial and error, but eventually, I managed to do just that.
At this point, I could hardly contain my excitement. The results were impressive; the performance increase was noticeable compared to previous iterations. But for me, that wasn’t enough. I wanted more. So, in true recursion fashion, I installed another Linux emulator within this Minecraft-embedded Yuzu environment. This new iteration had its own Yuzu setup, and thus the cycle continued.
As layers upon layers of nested Linux environments grew, the performance kept improving exponentially. Every time I upgraded the recursion level, the FPS went through the roof. Eventually, it reached unbelievable heights. Today, with multiple levels of recursion, I am proud to announce that the performance of this nestled setup is now over 9000 FPS!
Soylent Green. People have no taste these days.

Using “diversity” or “inclusive” as a bad word.
Using 88 without reason (or 1488).
There’s also people using the term “Monday” to refer to black people. (So they can say “I hate Mondays” and stuff without it being immediately obvious).
“Those [kinds of] people” is another pretty transparent one.
In Canada, there was “traditional Anglo-Saxon words”, lol
None of these seem apolitical to me. I would associate most of these with right wing philosophies. I was specifically looking for examples of apolitical dog-whistles.
OK, what’s an example of one?
What’s an example of an apolitical dog whistle that cannot be identified as right or left wing?
Arguably, couldn’t the creator exist in a parallel universe and have created ours?
One thing that shouldn’t be ignored is most UBI proposals remove the current means-based welfare in the USA. So, as many people go on the UBI list, many others would disappear off the welfare lists, which means there probably wouldn’t be as much disruption as you are expecting. If the UBI is implemented as a negative income tax, some people’s net may change even less.
Wouldn’t that count as political?
How would one ever discover that a given podcaster is right wing if they are apolitical?
Thanks for some consideration of my post.
…acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such
If you take for granted Nazi Germany is a national group, the aim of WW2 was to totally wipe this group, to the extent that post-war activities in the German theater were even called “denazification” by the Allies. Destruction / fiddling with Germany only abated when Nazism was pushed to the extreme fringes of German society (indeed, some ragged remnants remain even until today). If 100% of Germany supported the Nazi party, they would have been totally liquidated without further consideration or hesitation.
At least part of my current frustration with the term ‘genocide’ being lobbed around is that the horrors in Gaza sadly aren’t novel – they are just the latest of a long string of atrocities. Check out the Armenian genocide, Pol Pot’s activities, etc for some easy parallels. I’d rather see an in-depth discussion of what exactly wrong or immoral the IDF is doing than just the drive-by “genocidal” accusation, which over-abstracts the actually quite abhorrent things happening on the ground and is a thought-terminating cliche.
Correct, which is why the targeted group is Iraqi Ba’athists.
“My opinions are so weak, I can’t tolerate dissent.”
I guess not?
