You’re using a moral definition of “left” whereas in political science, “left” and “right” are only descriptive terms about economic organization (collective vs. private ownership respectively), and authoritarian/libertarian describes political power distribution. Your definition makes “left-wing auth” impossible by definition, but that’s a linguistic choice, not an empirical fact.

The problem with collapsing the axes is that it stops us from describing history accurately. Under your framework, a regime like the USSR which abolished private ownership and implemented central planning can’t be left because it wasn’t egalitarian in political power. But in mainstream classification, it’s economically far left and politically authoritarian a very different thing than right-wing authoritarianism.

Yes, wealth and power influence each other, but they are not identical; otherwise we wouldn’t need different terms. A billionaire under a strong democracy can have wealth without full political authority, and a military dictator in a collapsed economy can have political authority without wealth. Conflating them makes analysis less precise, not more.

Not all rightists are authoritarians, but all authoritarians are rightists

That's not what being politically right or left entails. Economic rightism involves private ownership of the means of production, not whether "power" (whatever you mean by that word) is concentrated or spread out. Economic leftism involves even distribution of the means of production at least to the point it can no longer be used for personal gain but for societal development. You’re redefining right-wing to mean authoritarian, which isn’t how the term is used in political science. By your definition, you’ve made “left-wing authoritarianism” impossible, which makes your claim unfalsifiable but also meaningless in the usual political context.

Tankies are classic right wing authoritarians cosplaying as leftist.

What does this even mean?

I think a better solution is more people getting into self hosting

I think changing your profile picture is a bit more accessible than that

 
 
 
 

"6.Each kicker can kick the ball only once. Once kicked, the kicker may not play the ball again. The decision on a re-kick is solely at the referee's discretion."

 
 

Stuff on the level of "poop knife", CBAT or "It's a cylinder".

 
 
 

As the year wraps up, share some of the challenges you faced and how you're dealing/you've dealt with it.

Killed can be interpreted as either metaphorical or literal.

 

I've been consuming a lot of political content on both sides lately, but there's one thing that seems to be common among the Republicans. They always point out Kamala's shortcomings as a way to justify Trump's right to be president. They constantly bring up Kamala's wavering stances on fracking, the fact she hasn't been to the border, and a lot of other stuff. And i just think to myself "okay, so what? She's lied. So has Trump though". Why are republicans making it sound like Trump hasn't lied even moreso than Kamala?

Maybe the things Kamala lies about are so terrible? I really don't know. Maybe I'm just too biased. Am i missing something?

 

Suck it up. You have to go back to wage slaving. That's the irony of life. Everyone's getting mad that they're not the ones profiting off of this and coping by saying that the joke is getting stale.

Just stop fucking hating and be happy for the other person. If you're pissed off, you have some serious introspection to do.
