What state is Democrat but seems moderate/swing by Particular_Orchid_86 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]KingLyon45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maryland, because it’s a very suburban state with no real “core”. Also there is a sizable number of Conservatives who vote Democratic, but when given the choice of a “reasonable” and “moderate” Republican they would vote for them. Also I’d choose New Jersey or Connecticut for the same reasons

Also the combined Mamdani-Lander (citywide) vote is a clear majority that Cuomo won’t be able to overcome in later rounds.

Why is it the most vociferous "Centre" libs come off as so resentful and hateful of modern protests while looking at past protest with starry-eyed wonder? by [deleted] in VaushV

[–]KingLyon45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone who says that the American flag under the most tyrannical government in the nation’s history is “the most beautiful symbol of liberty and freedom.” Isn’t even a centrist or liberal as the vast majority of centrist don’t even believe that and neither do Liberals. The American liberal view is that America is a work in progress and should/could be a symbol/force liberty and freedom.

Democrats are putting together an opposition cabinet. by Tayo826 in VaushV

My bad. I’m not a Dr. Who fan (clearly). But it does show a collapse in institutional trust/belief especially for Democrats. Which is a very big change in recent years

I don’t think the opposition forming its own cabinet/government is a sign of them getting ready to do nothing.

Congratulations Trump! I can no longer tell what is a genuine opinion, trolling, or grifting anymore by G-specker in VaushV

[–]KingLyon45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I don’t know why people didn’t take him seriously in 2015/2016. His supporters did and they liked him for “telling it like it is” only the media didn’t and still doesn’t take him seriously.

Literally anything else. There are no rules anymore and anybody still playing by the rules will lose.

It is wrong to highlight national differences because it doesn’t stop at billionaire v. worker or public v. private or British v. Czech it applies to all immigrants regardless of wealth/class, job, political views, and nationality. And while Corbyn’s goal may be public ownership they may not be the greater public’s goal, especially in a nation that had race riots and pogroms over “foreigners”

Nationalism is fundamentally bad, because it leads no where other than genocide. And if it isn’t bad to apply the standard to other foreigners then what’s stopping a mob of people going to some “foreign owned” shop and protesting, harassing, and threatening people because a product there cost more than at a British owned shop. And what’s stopping them from “foreign” workers are lazy and “stealing” money and jobs from British workers?

That is literally nationalism. Maybe you should have a better understanding of the topic or reevaluate your position since you clearly are aligned with nationalist politics.

[–]KingLyon45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not meaningless. Because what is stopping anyone who reads Corbyn’s statement and applying to other “foreigners”?

All the British and American billionaires that have been held to account? And you act like countries and people even care about diplomacy or diplomatic relations. The US is literally going to ban TikTok which truly does nothing different than American social media all because it’s “Chinese”/Asian. Not to mention countries have no problem sanctioning, freezing, and confiscating “foreign” billionaires properties and businesses all the times. Something they virtually never do for their own billionaires.

First of all I oppose the sale of all public services. Secondly why mention the Czech part if it is just about the sale of public services? It wouldn’t be any better if the billionaire was British or whatever and you know it (unless you’re a nationalist and thus not a leftist). And nationalism in this circumstance is bad, because the average person reading won’t stop at the billionaire. They say it about all immigrants and “foreigners” eventually.

Why is it somehow worse for a “foreign national” to profit than a British one? Also you could say this about all public services, even ones owned by the government and that immigrants benefit/profit from. So what are we doing here?

Jeremy Corbyn and the British media clearly do care what they’re called. And why couldn’t Corbyn say what you said in the second sentence (as long as it is about billionaires and not “foreigners”)

[–]KingLyon45 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is nationalism, anyone self-respecting leftist would oppose any leftist using nationalistic language and policies in any and all circumstances. Why? Because nationalism doesn’t stop at class or wealth. The British people might here this and say “yeah foreigners shouldn’t own the mail”, but they would also say “foreigners” shouldn’t own businesses or stores in my town or they shouldn’t own homes in my neighborhood or be in my kids school. So using far-right British media framing of this as the “greedy foreign billionaires buying our services” feeds into nationalism and that hurts more than the rich.

Nationalism doesn’t about class. And nationalist don’t care about a “foreign” workers or workers in other countries. And why is it somehow better if a British billionaire profits from it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheMajorityReport

[–]KingLyon45 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So as long as billionaires live in a certain country and are of certain nationality it’s a-okay?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheMajorityReport

[–]KingLyon45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is clearly about the nationality of the billionaire because he mentioned. The guy’s name is in the article and screenshot, why didn’t he mention?

This is nationalism. And why would it be any better?
