I’m not European. American problems directly affect my country. And these right wing/left wing discussions mean something. Someone cannot claim to be left wing or have my sympathies when they’re just claiming to be left wing while being oppose to me on every issue I care about. I know it’s hard for liberals to understand this, although I have no clue why.
The fact you aren’t European is immaterial as your claim is Euro-centric. Anti-capitalism = left is not universal to all nations. In DPRK suggesting there not be a hereditary dictatorship but rather a parliamentary system would be insanely far left yet that’s standard for most nations.
Not all nations are in the same place for development and it is a colossal mistake to label what is true for Europe as being true for all given the history of evil rooted in Eurocentric perspectives.
Okay, you obviously have no clue what you’re talking about. I’ll leave you to it pal, have a good life.
That’s an odd way of “I would prefer my racist take, thanks”.
In no way, shape, or form is what I’m saying racist you absolute twit. If you’re gonna reach that far for something, you should be reaching up your ass to pull your head out of it.
Calling somebody a Racist for disagreing with them is an incredibly common US Liberal comeback when they're all out of arguments.
Notice how this very person kept going on and on about "Europeans", and then called you a racist. (Oh, the irony!)
No point in engaging with that.
I’m not even fucking European! Seriously like what the actual fuck haha
You are politically illiterate
