No, I think the real answer is that everyone needs to STFU about this whole right vs left thing.
I was listening to my girlfriend give a long monologue about her political views, and it dawned on me: there aren’t two “directions” of politics right now.
There is greed, and there is empathy. You either care about wealth and status, or you care about others.
What it looks like after this crisis is solved is a different matter all together.
Edit: yes. Duh. I described leftist ideals. People HAVE leftist ideas. A significant majority of them. The simple solution is to stop making it about left or right.
The other point is that people are too stupid to understand what “left vs right” means. They are entirely overused words now. It’s empathy vs greed. That’s it. It’s simple, it’s in terms people understand.
i think most Americans, care about the former rather than latter. almost every discussion is about money and who is better or what because they had more money, who is richer than who, and who has a career and who doesnt, this includes both sides of the spectrum, mostly some D voters i know and observe fit much better with being REPUBLICANS. its more intense in some POC cultures. my peeve is when they keep comparing incomes and careers of people to yours or someone elses, but they fail to see they are the sole cause or lack of upbring/raising they are doing.
Fucking thank you! I’m a little tired of the ideological bashing. When less than 1% of the population is choosing imaginary profit over actually trying to fucking help… I don’t give a flying fuck if you’re left, right, center, liberal, tankie, anarchist, vegan, or any other number of fucking labels… they’re killing us and they ain’t concerned about repercussions for being a blight on humanity
Idk how to fix it. I’m just tired of the “blame game”, when there’s obvious aggressors that need to be humbled. Stop eating your own young and fucking practice what you believe… that we’re all in this trying to survive and we aint got much say about how the powers at play decide to be fucking evil
But you, yourself, can decide to focus on the actual people causing actual problems. Retribution is just vengeance-porn, let’s focus on one obstacle at a time… like maybe agreeing to disagree, and putting out the fire that’s currently burning.
I’m sick of the imaginary divide, when there’s a very obvious one that has never been fully squashed… greedy mother fuckers and their twisted worldview
“What could one banana cost? $10?” …fuck them people, if they can’t figure out what it costs to be human

Proceeds to describe the left and the right.

Is Leninism left? Is stalinism right?
Proceeds to miss the point entirely, and continues being divisive
But I’d rather have your shitty take on my side, than a billionaire’s shitty take on humanity as a product
Edit: I appreciate y’all talking with me about it
