Haven't I mentioned far-right? Haven't I mentioned Nazis? Haven't I implied enough they're far-right?

Oh lemmy, being a sore left butt when legit criticisms are made. Just as sore as the right cheek from the same arse 😂

They're still considered left and identified as such.

I know Lemmy can be left leaning so I guess my analysis made some assholes sore.

Edit: to answer your question, Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot believed that society must be organised by peasants alone, and intellectuals have no place in it. Hence, the purge and genocide. That belief can't get anymore left.

It's a completely different sentiment when a child dies, especially that the child who died in this case was an 8-month old who has not even started to enjoy what life has to offer. There's a reason that even those incarcerated are not kind to child killers.

I'm not justifting the person's rageful sentiment btw, I'm just explaining why some people feel this way.

Keir Starmer showed you can do it by looking competent and serious.

He doesn't have a charisma to be honest, unlike Blair.

Also, many people voted Labour solely because they voted against Tories, not because people like Starmer and Labour. The fact that Starmer isn't polling well in terms of popularity shows that. But this doesn't matter seeing as Labour won a landslide.

I just hope that Labour and Starmer doesn't end up like the German SDP and Olaf Scholz. The latter won but doing badly as government. Scholz also presented an air of seriousness but is unpopular.

Why else would the right have explicitly Christian colleges, if not to counter the supposed liberal and atheist propaganda from the left?

Also, the fact that throughout history, both the far-left and far-right dictatorships target intellectuals first as the first show of power. Which shows that colleges are not inherently biased to any ideologies. I don't need to mention what the Nazis did, but I want to remind what the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia did to intellectuals and those who simply wear glasses (i.e. nerd looking). From the far-left perspective, colleges are too right. And the far-right thinks colleges are too left.

I don't understand why it's so mainstream to equate Palestine with Hamas.

Because the mainstream is unironically ignorant of the true political and social state of Palestinian society. They don't realise that Hamas is an extremist Palestinian political party, while the actual moderate Palestinian faction worthy of support is the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. Show them this Wikipedia page of the ongoing civil war among Palestinians and you'd get cricket noises from the average perpetually online mainstream.

Gaza is controlled by the Hamas, while the West Bank is controlled by PLO/Fatah. But no one in the mainstream in the Twiterrati, Facebook and other social media will know that, because they get junk food information from fake news and propaganda or their own bubble in those social platforms.

There seems to be a culture of power tripping in the US for those with power.

We can't believe someone would be so dumb for free

News flash: there are!

I swear quantum physics is magic and made up!

I am not sure what you mean by double standards. India has always been playing both sides since the Cold War. India is a military ally to Russia while keeping close economic ties to the West. But in the context under Modi, he is basically of the same feather as Putin, both are authoritarians, which explains the hugging.
