Is there some workable definition of left and right? The terms have lost all meaning to me.
It like they’re blanket terms for “everyone I agree with and everyone I disagree with”, and the ambiguity makes it really divisive.
“You are X and I hate all people who are X”. It seems bizarre that as the world has become more nuanced we’ve grown comfortable using such reductive terms.
(Not a criticism of your comment btw. I upvoted you. Just pondering this)
which liberals?
plenty of liberals are 100% on board with the conservative agenda, as long as the stock market goes up.
thats literally what the world liberal means
‘They are conservafives who want to LIBERALly restructure their capitalistic economy to benefit them and their acquaintances’
Liberals are not rhe friends of anarchists and communists anymore.
Plenty of leftists are good with the conservative agenda as long as Russia gets to keep genociding Ukraine.
Anyone who supports genocide is not a leftist, like, by definition.
Haaaaaaaaave you read some stuff written by leftists?
Economy policy has nothing to do with supporting genocide or not.

What definition do you use?
Crazy, go ask a .mler about Stalin or Mao - then look into just how much of their rhetoric the DSA co-opts.
Spoilers: it’s not lookin good
