Is this the new Hasbara talking point being pushed by Israel PR? First that Obama speechwriter says it and now Hillary

You're correct. They aren't right wing. They are communists.

I haven't figured out if I'm fully anarchist, a "left libertarian" who can accept a restrained state, or if I'm coming around to being an ML, tbh.

And I'm not sure if I care. I just want capitalism dismantled and fascism/conservativism opposed. And I don't want a police state.

But, and this is gonna be hypocritical of me, I feel like the sectarianism always seems to be coming from online anarchist and progressive spaces. Like no don't join our mass movement against capitalism if you, IDK, don't dislike China enough? Doesn't make sense to me.

What instances block .ml that I'd be upset to miss?

Liberalism has an actual definition. Neoliberalism is a subset of liberalism. Either way, neither position is socialist and both are capitalist. That's the distinction. That's always been the distinction. Leftist politics is distinctly anti capitalist.

To leftists, liberalism, even progressive liberalism, can never address the material concerns for workers, inequal accumulation, and capitalism's contradictions because it cannot attack the central tenet of its ideology: the private ownership of land and resources. And most of the social stuff was being advocated by leftist groups in the west for years before they became popular enough for the mainstream, liberal parties to embrace.

I'm an American. Conflating liberalism with leftism is a media game that has successfully ensured the Overton window does not shift left. It reveals the mass political ignorance here. Of the policies you've listed, only H4A is arguably socialist.

You can understand the two party system and make decisions to support certain candidates/policies in an election without identifying as a liberal.

Why oh why was an entire article written about this one man's opinions?

What are these comments? This is a comm for people who like movies? It's a Safdie movie that by all accounts is at least decent, even if it flirts with "Oscar bait". Weird to almost revel in its box office failure.

Kinda surprised how long it took to scroll before seeing Ico and SOTC mentioned, tbh.

Crown jewels of PS2, imo. Pushed the medium forward artistically.

Gamepass only ever made sense to people who had time to play or dabble in a sufficiently large amount of games per year and felt the need to play some new titles soon or immediately instead of waiting. Otherwise, eventually your total subscription costs would outpace the total cost to purchase what you played, especially if purchased on sale at a later date. And the value gets worse if you ever replayed a game (s).

I'll never really understand the excitement about this service. It was always a Trojan horse.

Why would that stop them? This fascist machine didn't just turn on.

Trump was literally shot last year. Surely that was a more fitting moment

There's a difference between voters and the party establishment
