Thanks for providing an example of one dimensional political thinking. Something you disagree with has to be from the opposite end of a made up political spectrum in you mind.
When in actual fact I want higher taxes on the wealthy, I want trust busting on corporate oligopolies, Keynesian economic policy, more regulation on the private sector, especially in regards to the environment. I come to these preferred policies by actually thinking of the issues, and I have read a history book and know that a violent overthrow of the government is only going to result in some asshole (whether “far left” or “far right”) gaining authoritarian power.
Only angsty youths think there’s “one simple trick” that’ll solve all problems. Feeds into that need to have angst I suppose.
Hard to say. I think there are many people I probably agree with politically, I find a lot of their rhetoric quite insufferable and toxic because they stifle conversation. That’s why even though I vehemently disagree with republicans, sometimes I wonder if I’d much rather go to a potluck in the deep south then hang out with the most progressive blue haired idiots in Portland. I have republican people in my family and oddly enough we can have conversations while disagreeing. Meanwhile, some people on the left just drive me bonkers in the way they move rhetorically.

ChatGPT: “Give me edgelord deep politics vibes but also a touch of I like the smell of my own farts”.
While this is hilarious and I in no way agree with them, why are you attacking them instead of their logic?
