How to recognize a far- leftie

I am not talking about workplace bullying, harassment, or racism. This has been consistent for several decades, although it is certainly being enforced more now than ever in mandatory workplace training.
I am talking about social media and in the public domain.. For example, many parents have had complaints on woke topics being forced into school curriculums only to be told to shut up. This is very unsettling for parents.
While social media platforms are private entities, significant government involvement in content moderation decisions can invoke First Amendment scrutiny, questioning whether these platforms act as proxies for state censorship. Facebook heavily censored people due to the government forcing them to. Zuck finally grew a pair and came to his senses.
These were major issues that the voting public had problems with that are already being walked back by the Trump administration.
The government involvement in moderation was on both sides.
Both the Republicans and the Democrats did it.
I dont think it is inherently wrong for a government to ask for misinformation to be moderated especially during times like COVID.
In schools what woke topics were being taught?
Parents should not have a political take on what is being taught in schools.
Schools should teach the right things independently and that also includes acceptance of diversity.
So are you really arguing that there is a similar amount of left-wing and right-wing terrorism in the US but right-wingers are just much more successful at it?
Or are you arguing that right-wingers are much worse at it and get caught and arrested more often?
I love enmos’s post about Elon’s “molesting the truth.” So true.
Yankistan is my
This is one of those massive differences between Canada and the US that you truly have to experience it first time to understand how incompatible we are as people. Asking perfect strangers questions about politics -- and especially religion -- is extremely taboo in Canada, but it seems to be common practice in the USA.
I remember being about 7 and visiting my grandparents in Arizona, where they spent winters. I was in the pool and a couple, probably in the 60s, started talking with me. They had met my parents the night before. They asked what church we attended and I said we didn't go to church, and they seemed shocked. Even at 7 I thought that question was fucking weird and inappropriate.
Not true, look at the media suppression and attacks on free speech for both Palestine protesters and climate change protesters. I was talking to a an american tenured prof the other day and they said you just can't say the word 'Palestine' there without massive censure. On the right people are being censured over waving nazi flags and claiming that's an attack on free speech. People have lost their jobs for protesting on the left way more than on the right.
Now you're going to add in people protesting LGBTQ, again, in the states.
Very much, do the righties on the board now think this is middle right?
Remember the story about the little boy that cried wolf?
When you call everyone that you disagree with a Nazi for a decade, people begin tuning you out.
That's why it's so dangerous when you abuse words for political and social capital.
totally avoided and missed my point.... Guy Caballero called... you're fired.
what planet are you on ?
you claimed
and i just repeated my point
the rest is covered as well
again
is this your big point?
yes its a given Trump triggers you, nothing new there
your grade 4 teacher called.... you failed reading comprehension.... once again
she was so disappointed, after all she did spend that extra year repeating the lessons for you
Please, the difference between a Freedom Fighter and a Terrorist is who is in power....
A really dumb question gets a glib answer. Do better at your thought process. Are you new to social media? You want a real answer, post a real question.
Define a Communist bhwhwhahahahaha

Ya think your post is some sort of 'gotcha' with a deep subtle meaning that calls me out & that will make me entirely re-think my entire life choices?
How old are you?
So are you saying then that Timothy McVeigh, or Dylann Roof for example had legitimate causes for their terrorism and if they were in power, their attack considered legitimate?
I don't think what they did was legitimate but I betcha some of those in power in the US government right now do....tell me I'm wrong.
Well yes, there are always those who cheer on terrorism depending on their politics.
But I guess the general consensus is terror is not justifiable which is what I meant in my earlier post as well.
Sammy Maudlin called.... he wants to tell you that saying "politicians shouldn't be role models" doesn't mean that they aren't and Trump definitely is.... do you think he is a positive role model in any way?

You're missing the point, when people use the word 'terrorist' its not about the tactics, its about labelling your opponent as outside of human rights and the law to justify your own terrorism. Bonus points if you use it based on race.
