Democrats are liberal. This is center left, which is a type of leftist, not a type of centrist. We’re centrist relative to the far left and leftist relative to the center.

In contrast, the Republicans are far right; there is no appreciable center right anymore.

But what I was responding to was the truly idiotic claim that liberals somehow don’t want progress because we haven’t been able to get all of our goals accomplished.

No, actually, we could not have done everything in that short window of opportunity in the first half of Obama’s first term. Consider how hard it was to get the ACA through, even with the ugly compromises he was forced to make.

Essentially, you’re blaming the D’s for not having magic powers. This only helps the R’s.

Leftists must stop building their #identity around being Leftists.

Identity is primary to the human experience and will always be protected. If 'the revolution' or whatever society you advocate for were to occur that identity would be obliterated because Leftists largely understand themselves in relation to #Capitalism ie the dominant mode. As such they will take any and all action required protect that identity.

This particularly applies to whites because their identity is generally speaking far more fragmented than those who have cultural, community based, or ancestral identities and mythologies (ie collective stories) to reinforce other aspects of their identity.

Someone in an autism facebook group I'm in just asked "How am I supposed to earn enough to make a living without burning out?"

Someone replied: "You're not. Even neurotypicals can't right now in the system designed for them. We're the canaries in the coalmine. When we start failing, they know something is wrong."

Oh great, now the "rightwing" gov wants to criminalize questioning the holocaust, frigging dumbucks. It's not like we have any level of freedom of speech anyway.

Immigration anarchism is different from immigration liberalism, though i do not hear any liberals complaining that ISIS terrorist and even one wagner group soldier got through the border. Has this made through the international news? I will be pretty surprised if not

Well, at least you’re not doing it intentionally.

I’ve had to block a few people for insisting that, if it’s not foaming-at-the-mouth anarcho-communism, it’s not left-wing at all.

These same people naturally insist that liberals are “the same” as fascists, since neither are (far) left.

That’s like saying that apple juice and turpentine are the same, since neither one is orange juice…

A friend mentioned that Veritasium made a video on IQ and, as we both feared, it turns out it's absolutely awful, one-sided, pro-IQ propaganda.

So I'm re-watching Shaun's video on the Bell Curve book right now, vaguely hoping it'll get algorithmed into a few Veritasium viewers' recommendations. Here it is if you fancy hearing all about what's wrong with the concept of IQ testing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBc7qBS1Ujo

How do Leftists think, and why do they always create ruined third world level societies in their wake?

It is a difference:

A) To be equal in a competition based society, maximizes suffering.

compared to:

B) To be equal in a post-capitalist society means no competition based suffering.

A is the leftlib position, B the left extrimist / anarchist. They are almost the opposite position.

This is why leftist parties disappear everywhere.

Many Americans love to throw around the phrase "standard of living" when talking about other countries, especially ones they feel superior to.

However, this phrase has very little meaning with no true definition. Why is that? I explore this concept in my newest video essay.

Le Manifeste de Regina a 90 ans

Nora Loreto revient sur ce manifeste radical à la base de la fondation du CCF (ancêtre du NPD) qui explique dans un discours très anti capitaliste pourquoi il faut travailler à l'unité ouvrière et syndicale.

Aucun parti prétendu de gauche aujourd'hui ne va aussi loin aujourd'hui, même s'ils se font traiter de communistes et de wokes à tour de bras.

Just released my video on something I call the "Myth of Wasted Time" where I break down how the "capitalist in your head" can make it hard for you to enjoy leisure. (And how to overcome it.)

One issue I have with the way my society (capitalist, settler-colonialist, patriarchal, etc.) is structured is just how deeply #inhumane and #inhuman it is. The #culturalhegemony that serves the ruling/owning class, wherein one’s value is reduced to one’s productivity, is contrary to healthy human development, and is a stark denial of so much of human history - actively inhuman & inhumane. We need to rebuild better/more human #socialstructures.
