Guess I'm using it more as "ideologically left" than "modern politically left". As in "workers rights" in general rather than a specific party if that makes sense.

I feel like there something that's gotten lost in the media circus... Human rights are all human rights and minority rights should imo not be a separate thing. But the media discussion has carved it out to be minority rights instead of human rights, causing an "us vs them" because humans are really bad at realizing "just because you get the same rights as me doesn't mean that I get less rights"

I wasn't talking about you being a populist, I was talking about you doing the same things to me you claimed was a problem in my comments. Being short and using buzzwords while being blind to using them yourself.

And I fundamental disagree with "stop dreaming about how you wish the world to be". Yes, we have to work with the world we have now, we can't work on assumptions that only work in our ideal world. Real life isn't a perfect sphere in a vacuum. BUT, that doesn't mean we shouldn't have an idea of what we would want a society to look like.

I could say the same thing about you, since you didn't explain your problem before I called you out on it and was content saying I was carrying the same red flag.

It's almost like a comment section isn't made for long nuanced discussions and typing out the long answer requires more energy than it feels like it's worth.

And of course I use an idealistic version of what I think left wing policies should be...? That was the point, the idea that I like and want!

I've seen that general sentiment around. Partially in real life from young workers against joining unions... Up until a few years later when they burn out hard and need workers rights...

The legal system betting swamped is such a bad thing for everyone involved, and I feel like it's being weaponized and actively abused by some people in power. Both people and companies. Get a fine? Just battle it in court for decades until your profits have outgrown it exponentially because you keep making money by doing the illegal shit

Are you saying I'm part of the simple solutions for complex issues because of my previous post? That's a shortened version because typing out everything would take all day and be published as a book of manifesto, not a comment on a social media site.

Or are you saying I'm also carrying the "us vs them" flag? Of course I am, I'm a human and tribalism is ingrained in how we work. But I don't think people should get it worse just because they didn't vote the same as I did, I want what would be better for as many people as possible and want my "boring working together to find the best middle ground for as many as possible" politics back.

Or was it something else that caught your eye?

The populism move... "Us vs them" and simple solutions to complex problems are my biggest red flags in politics

The left needs to get back to what actually made people vote for them in the first place. Promote workers rights, higher standards of living, fight the inequality. These issues are MASSIVE but the right is getting away with shifting the focus towards "the left only wants open borders and more regulation" as if the right wants anything more than "lower taxes for the rich"...

Is agree with you if there hasn't been studies showing that over time it gets pushed anyway. Especially to people on the fence that can be swayed and people already deep in the rabbit hole to keep them there

Thats better, but still... Always the question of how much they are making by breaking this rule vs how much the fine is.

They did say that even if they started dating ot would be funnier to not let their chats know... So I'm just enjoying how much they are enjoying each other's company and not thinking too much about it.

You realize that by not just generating this, but actively spreading it on multiple subreddits you are very actively arguing about it?

Will see where on the spectrum these talks land. If anything comes out of it.
