Data also suggests that Democrats are at a much higher rate for all mental disorders compared to every other political group.

The article is about MAGAtards, not normal people. Do you remember freaks like this acting so strangely before Trump was elected? No, they stayed in their trailer homes and raped their family members. Now they've been given a voice, by Trumpy Bear, to get their ARs and take back their Capitol Building, or the grocery store, or enjoy mass shootings. They're insane.

You're insane. The left/right rabble looks the exact same, they just use different slogans depending on their financial status.

OK - I admit I enjoyed writing that. But seriously, far right and far left don't look the same, as they tend to have different values and political interests. Trump and fellow Republicans inspired a resurgence in:

racial supremacism, and other ideologies or organizations that feature aspects of ultranationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, theocratic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or reactionary views

This isn't happening on the far left

Racial supremacism is indeed happening on the left, it's just flavored differently. Reactionary views are on the left, too. You guys are giving transgenders a platform, to the detriment of our society. Dude. Stop smoking whatever shit you are smoking.

Also, half the time people are talking about "homophobia" or something similar, they aren't talking about someone who fears gay people, they are talking about someone who opposes their mental/physical habits. I think the left has a phobia towards actual liberty.

Not sure I should bother you about this, but:

The radical left is much more complicated, and it's one reason it's difficult to get all of them to agree on anything. For example, there are many on the radical left who hate communism, but are worried about late stage capitalism.

Many on the left don't care about transgender or any other sex change arrangement for 18+ adults. It's just a non-issue for many of them. It becomes more of an issue when the left are asked to respond to the mistreatment of transgender or LGBTQ+ people. Supporting their basic human rights is not so difficult.

Indeed, the left try promote inclusion and diversity much more than the 'right' and this helps reduce polarized discourses.

Phobias are fears - yes - but not necessarily of getting raped by gay men, for example. Homophobia can be one's own fear of being gay, or a fear of being around gay people if they are scary (for the homophobe), for whatever reason. Not that I have anything to say about homophobia, as I don't really understand it.

Another left-wing value is democracy.

You are as insane as the Trump-supporters are. I really am shocked every time I read one of your shill-comments. It's not a bother reading your words: they are the exact same as the spoken words of my Democrat sister.

All of this is relatively centrist. I see you've now resorted to name-calling instead of discussing politics. We've discussed right and left approaches. I am happy to discuss the centrist approach if you wish, but you'll have to behave. Also: listen to your sister, and try to appreciate that she has to deal with the people like you on occasion.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

The centrist approach is not reform. You seek reform. That is not centrist. Actual centrists are varied in their views, but we all seek brand new inventions, born out of the best from each previous avenue, but inventions which use new power structures, new faces, new ideas, rather than those power structures, faces, and ideas which bred this corruption. You seek to put in place more corruption due to your support of the existing power structures, which have already been shown to be corrupt and unstable.

It's like we just got done driving a rusted car across the country, and it almost fucking killed us, and you are arguing that we should fix a few things and get back in the deathtrap. I say scrap the fucking thing and make something better using the parts.

My older sister is also a radical feminist and all discourse with her ends with: "The patriarchy is to blame." as she eats food my father paid for her, goes to the law school my father pays for, and drives a car my father pays for. She is bungled. I do not heed the words of bungled people, unless they begin to talk like someone who has seen more of the world than just a few classrooms. I do take into account her experiences, but her views on said experiences are super jaded and skewed.

Edit: concerning the "name calling". I'll stop calling you shill on a daily or semi-daily basis, but it's going to come out. You call it name calling and an "attack" but that is like calling Amelia transgender, or a tranny. If the hat fits.... You can surely call me some derogative term for being American. Or gypsy. I don't really take offense to things that are truthful. I will however take into account your jealously guarded feelings and find an acceptable way to refer to you as a shill. Does an outright pasting of the proper definition count as name-calling?

OK - thanks for the info.

I don't think I've indicated that I want reform, unless we refer to approaches by Bernie Sanders and AOC, who are much more left than me, but offer important points for reform that would be nice if they were possible (though the US Gov isn't ready to consider their policies for the 99%).

Perhaps I can address much of this by saying that - as a centrist (or whatever I am) - any transition for reform should be in constructive stages rather than the French or Russian revolutions. Voting the GOP out of office is one of those steps. Another step would be to re-enact the fairness doctrine. Perhaps the current infrastructure bill that Biden mentioned will help get some people back to work.

A book that addresses the philosophy of this centrism and the problems of reform is perhaps Hanna Arendt's 'On Revolution'.

To scrap the rusty car would be perfect, but at a severe cost to everyone, as much as we all need exactly that.

I wouldn't worry much about feminism, as it's just a common language these days, for better AND worse, along with decolonising and diversity training. It's inevitable. I think it's impressive your sister is in law school. She'll learn soon enough about the complications of corruption in the legal system, among lawyers, and in D.C., and will likely see the patriarchy arguement worthless in the face of reality (although the corruption is very much part of an "old boy" network in each state, in which there are a few women; when your sister sees how women will turn on women, she'll no longer see a united front among women or men; she'll also see extensive discrimination against everyone and will have to navigate that).

The Far Left is quite a fan of "racial supremacism", it's just that you wiggers are race traitors ass-sucking the coloreds, with the blackies at the tippity- top of your superiority-totempole, and extending down to the islamaholics, latinos, asians...and jews when they are not identifying as white. Of course you dirtbags prefer to term that reverse-racism, which you then squeal does not and cannot exist, but ya ain't fooling nobody.

As for "ultranationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, theocratic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or reactionary views", your side simply substitutes that with your own versions. Globalist for ultranationalist. Leftist radicalism for chauvinism. Xenomania for Xenophobia. Humanism and scientism for religion. As for racism, you simply shift the target to whites, while pretending that 'can't be racist'. Homophobia and transphobia the FarRight can own, being a carryover from the xtian contingent. Reactionary? You got that a plenty, on display throughout Reddit, Fackbook, Twitter, etc., which of course you are blind to by virture of the commie-socialist mastery of doublethink and avoidance coping.

Are you OK?

Thanks for this info, but much of it is ad hominem, and almost none of it is true.

The one potentially factual item is the problem with anti-white narratives, or what's known as reverse discrimination in the US and positive discrimination in the UK.

But much of this is a crazy rant that makes racist comments, assumes that all non-whites are far left, and assumes who "you dirtbags" are. This is really unhinged. Get help.
