People disagreeing with someone else's politics doesn't make them a bigot.
Left right thing is a just a circus when most of us are the bottom. But people love a good circle jerk, so here we are.
Within two sentences, you've managed to say a lot of questionable stuff, which is impressive.
First of all: Being anti-LGBTQ is definitively bigotry. If you don't wanna be called a bigot, reconsider your stance - even this backwards ass world has left you behind on that matter,for the most part.
Now, about "left" and "right", I'm not sure what your point is. It's precisely about how you approach classes. Even moderate, capitalist leftists, aka socdems generally support social security programs, higher taxation on the rich, tax reliefs for the working class, public education, healthcare etc- and there are plenty of countries where all that is a thing. Now, I can only assume you're from the US, where "left" and "right" has lost all meaning, and Bernie Sanders - a moderate social democrat -is viewed as the second coming of Stalin.
yes... provide more of your half baked politics lol
Half-baked? This is an extremely dumbed down version. Do you have anything to say besides generalized, witty, one liners? Do you even have any idea what I'm saying? Like, bro.
This is you. Who's the ruling class again?
I am all about naming them but you know the list of Oligarchs who own significant portions of US and/or global economy in key sectors as such energy, retail, tech, pharma etc Gates, Elon, google clown, Kucks etc They collude with political leadership at state and federal level to obtain preferential treatment, bailouts/handouts and suppress the working people's interests esp in housing, healthcare and education.
As I said above, this is not left/right issue since when "left" has power nothing has been done since FDR was president imho Their politics are just less divisive, ie the good cop. While "right" is the bad cop. Peasants fight squabbling whose daddy is better while they beat their moms.
However, people on the left keep hoping if we get "our guys" in we will get results... where are the results? Biden and Obama both had Congress and nothing got done. Life for working people has deteriorated to the point where majority live in neo feudal poverty. Political process is captured and as a working person, voting with your feet/wallet yields better result than participating in the political process.
So... what you're saying is that you're just anti-capitalist, or in other words, far left, you realise that, right? You just have a US-centric view on politics, where "left" and "right", have no meaning, because it's neoliberal capitalism on both sides.
there are a very large number of ways disagreeing with someone's politics would obviously make someone a bigot, such as "disagreeing that queer people should have the right to marry". this is not a serious argument.
