The fact that some people genuinely think there's any kind of leftist representation in the US or that its system would ever even allow that to happen is funny

American "Left": maybe we shold do some student debth relif? Just a tini-tiny. If you don't mind.
Rest of the world right: universal education, more funding!
Rest of the world center: universal education, state must provide students with everything(including housing and food) so they don't worry about anything else other than learning, state must provide teachers with everything(including decent salary) so they don't wory about anything else other than teaching, state must provide universities with all necessary equipment, buildings must be maintained in good condition(so ceiling wouldn't fall on students' and teachers' heads)!
What I think is hilarious is when conservatives call Joe Biden of all people the radical left.
American Left?
My views on Republicans are similar. The voters are both ignorant and poor, as well as selfish and wealthy. Those are two subsets of the same group. The leadership tends to fall into the latter category, with a few idiots thrown in for good measure.
Most comments make this conclusion.
But none mention that at this point, hating on the left, the right or anyone other than those shoveling money is helping the status quo stay like it is.
Any radicalization is a direct effect of financial despair (slowly creeping up). The fascists are a symptom but the greedy are the disease.
It is what brought hitler to power and it is the same for trump. Please unionize and start striking, your life depends on it.
I truly don't mean to be pedantic here, but aren't these nearly word for word the same beliefs Left-leaning people here have about the Right in America?
Maybe if you're being generous and want to write out the other side of these beliefs you could leave out the descriptors "lazy and weak" and replace them with "psychotic and brainwashed", but other than that, is this meme not the same for Left and Right?
Ive also seen people who praise Elon Musk and Trump who said that the left is far right
Oh we are safe, no way in hell Trump reads Dostoevsky
Ahahahaha. Nice one.
Thanks, it is good to know a few people got my niche reference.
Amazing to me that Trumpists have zero self awareness.
These “signs of fascism” docs should add “a blind and ignorant base”.
They read it as a recipe not a warning.
And the "liberal news media" controls all the information. You know, that media that is all owned by about six corporations.
Look up "news consolidation" sometime. In the 1980s, all the news outlets were ultimately owned by about 30-40 companies.
This meme just highlights for me the fact someone could make nearly the same meme for right-wingers simply by changing left to right and it would sound much like what we're fed by the media we consume on the daily.
"The Media"
Do you suppose that there is no propaganda in the media you watch?
I laugh at people who claim to distrust "The Media" then parrot everything they hear and see in the media. Also I have no cable news channels
I get tired when i see people look down on others when they themselves have no, i mean fucking no empathetic intelligence.
You can't even see it when i point it out.
Take a loooong look at how you came to believe youre so special to be unaffected by propaganda, or that the media in whatever (special, amazing) country you reside in does not put any out.
Is this realistic? That your country, and by extension you, are just above it all?
You aint it babe, get over yourself
So sensitive!
If you were to place the ruling elites on either the left or the right, which side would you think they'd be?
Oh dear, that isn't the point at all, is it?
Only if you ignore the fact that this isn't actually true.
That cup is way too wide.
Child sized, one could even say.
I mean, it's a large enough group that they're not necessarily mutually exclusive. And I happen to think the last 2 things about the right 🤣
