Propaganda alert: "Leftist" is an Israeli term of derision.

No one in the US says that term in that way.

I remember when "Liberal" was an American term of derision. Ah, the good old days.

the media, owned by israel, had made liberalism, leftism, and socialism terms of derision, theyir central bank wants capitalism, aka let the rich do whatever they want and bribe politicians.

I've seen plenty of Israeli interviews where "leftist" is a perjorative. No one else says it.

It's a dead give away.

Any examples of Western shows that use the term "leftist"?

If so, then I'd like to see it.

honestly? foxnews rails against leftists all day every day. Are you homnestly saying that if someone says the word leftist they are an israeli shill. It could be possible but that is not proof of it.

Maybe you're doing a valuable service, and then again, maybe you're on a witch hunt. You've accused me of being a shill for simply disagreeing with you or asking clarification. I think there's some validity to the monsters you see as you stare into the abyss, but sometimes I think confirmation bias makes everything look like a monster to you.

Also, a significant amount of Redditors live in a cozy echo chamber. Many of them are fine with censorship, and squashing dissenting opinions. Doesn't seem like a great idea to want to flood an open speech platform like this with the kind of people that get easily offended by a simplistic post such as OPs.

More of you're admitted sophistry, huh.

That's quite a bit of over explaining. You're clearly on the defensive.

Patience, son...

I'm simply explaining my position and thoughts. Show the sophistry if you believe that.

I ask you for civil dialogue and for you to substantiate your points with proof. And you respond with belligerence and ad hominem attacks. Who is acting like a shill?

The entirety of your previous comment is sophistry. It is not dialogue, and it contains no facts, or concise opinions.

It is full of assumptions and questions, that are intended to misrepresent both facts and your intentions.

It's a useful weapon against weak minded people like your subbordinate /u/Penelope.

It's a tool of deceit for shills and propagandists.

You are living proof that OPs post that left leaning people are more mentally unstable is absolutely true. Pardon my Ad Hominem, but you're either a shill and-or schizophrenic.

You have little to no self awareness and are socially incompetent and awkward to put it nicely.

Poor baby throws a tantrum when he gets his ass handed to him. I can just see you getting your responses from your IDF note cards, cause you're an amateur.

Think of this as a Valentines day gift, ya bitch.

Bye. ;-)
