And? Is there something wrong with anyone not having US-style far left neo-liberal views? I don't get your point
Since when was the US far-left?
It's more about the bipartisan system and very vocal representatives of both extremes it breeds.
Since when was the US left very vocal?
Always, just like the US right. A living example - a person that responded to me in this very thread.
Then where are all the riots?
What does it have to do with the extreme vocal minority? Nothing.
What proof is there of the US left being vocal? So far, the left—if it exists at all in this forsaken country—has been largely silent as society crumbles around it.
You've exposed yourself with "far left neo-liberal views" because nothing about America or liberalism (much less fucking neoliberalism) is far left. Just admit you hate gays poc and women and stop pretending. You aren't fooling people.
Wait what? How does your reply make any sense? You assume things and instantly belive those are true? This is ridiculous.
Because I'm not a fucking idiot born today. I've been around people like yourself who use language you use and complain about how far left America is. And guess what. Without fail every single fucking example of someone talking about far left neoliberalism which again doesn't make any sense always ends with the mask coming off. No one is fooled by you. We all have seen this shit time and time again.
You definitely sound like one. Labeling people based on your personal assumptions is kinda an idiotic thing to do.
Calling out regressive dog whistles isn't idiotic. Making regressive dog whistles is.
Sure, if you say so.
