2024 ELECTION THREAD

No. There are hard and fast tests to determine right or left.

If you support war and big business then you're right wing.

Wow, just wow.

For a 70 year old white guy he's pretty left. For the nation as a whole he's probably pretty close to middle as the country is D+3 or so overall. If we have to do it in 1 dimension.

What is D-3?

A typo. Meant D+ 3 as in country would prefer a rndom Dem over a random Repub by about 3 in a random year.

You should ask if this can be your under title. It would save you and those who respond to you on this point a lot of time.

Hmm. This must be why my posts get so few responses.

If you want people to quit calling you a fascist, then you probably should avoid banging on about "enemies of the people."

It's infinitely worse than that for the Colonel - that is Soviet/communist phraseology.

Right wing take on the death penalty is by firing squad whereas for the left it's lethal injection.

Deep, bro. Super deep. That's some deep ****. Pass the bong.

That’s wild, bro

How is nobody talking about this?

He's also pretty oblivious. It's crazy how many jokes and points that others make go right over his head. I shared this clip in another thread, but it really epitomizes his lack of awareness.

I should use "threat to democracy" which is identical but it's what your side uses yes.

Some people are inimical to core elements of society and it's not fascism to identify them as such and permanently solve the threat

How about "counter-revolutionary element"?

Yes removing fossil fuels worldwide would cause millions of excess deaths per year, it's hard to think of any idea that would remove more years of human life.

Even a nuclear war exchange with 10-20 bombs used, even on big cities, wouldn't come close to that over time.

You guys don't realize it especially in the USA because you are already complaining from the left about gasoline prices even if you are 2x richer than us and pay half for it.

Or just leftist

You are certainly correct that the phase is associated with the Soviet Union. It's also associated with fascism, especially as it relates to opposition press.

I guess it would be most accurate to say that the phrase is broadly associated with authoritarianism.

Do you accept or dent the fact that some ideologies are genocidal and complete incompatible with society and if enough people believe them and act on them they are a direct threat to society?

Do you agree that happens and you disagree with me about Marxist greens being such, or do you deny that ever happens or can happen?

I find it almost impossible to take you seriously when you start using this sort of wild hyperbole.

The idea that any society which doesn't fully tolerate all direct enemies of itself living within is authoritarian is pure folly.

Having antibodies and using them isn't authoritarianism.

You guys are suicidally empathical if you can't come to your senses and accept that domestic threats can arise and legal, authorized violence is necessary to wipe them out.

Btw your side does accept that except they go fully Orwellian and claim the extreme right is such threat lol, even if the polar opposite is objectively true

I don't think you are going to help your cause much by shifting your focus to talking about permanent solutions to threats.

You think it's wrong to claim Germany needs permanent solutions to deal with neonazis?

Who thinks that domestic threats don't exist? Who thinks that no steps should be taken to address domestic threats?
