I wish it was just "towards the left".
I'm very much on the left socially and left of center economically, but even I feel like every other comments section on here reads like some insane tankie commune.
It's always a weird flavor, too. Like "I'm communist but only if I get all the wealth. Also I hate minorities but love the LGBT."
For some reason it just makes me think of Dennis on 30 Rock. "Fiscally liberal, socially conservative."
Where did you see that?
No where. "Centrists" love strawmen.
It's a bit of hyperbole, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear aren't far off.
A lot of their users believe that Russia is a communist state, not some crony capitalist society that would make Bezos blush. They also seem to really love Trump for some reason.
Where did you see someone saying Russia is communist and where did you see some unironically loving Trump?
