Stephanie Slade is a far right influencer who promotes the New Right, or rather the attempt to get younger people to agree with far right boomers who are leaveing the yournger generation with a much more polarized, polluted, unsafe, violent, lower class, almost post-apocalyptic type of future. Yes, the 'left' is partially responsible for the current authoritarian shitshow fucking up the US. The left didn't vote enough, they've not protested enough, they've been brainwashed by right wing propaganda, they're weak, they won't contact their Congress people, they almost never agree on a specific political policy, they whine constantly, etc. The list goes on. But what Slade wants us to think is that the 'left' have had 'right wing' tendencies that have been responsible for their own fuckups:
Collectivism is left wing racism. (No, it's a response to right wing racism.)
That zero-sum thinking is anti-redistributionist. (No, it's a response to right wing anti-redistributionism.)
That government support of health, environment, consumers, education, etc. is somehow authoritarian. (No, it's a response to right wing attempts to deregulate everything so that corporations can dictate those laws, which started with Reagan, or a bit earlier.)
That concerns about the spread of misinformation are attempts to limit free speech. (No, it's a response to very successful right wing attempts to brainwash people into believing lies. The Fairness Doctrine (killed by Reagan's handlers) allowed for this, but companies were required by the FCC to include a response by someone else against the misinformation political speech.)
Finally, "Liberalism offers an alternative, but it requires a lot more self-awareness from people on the left of center than we've seen so far." Yep
Upvoted for visibility, though I think she's got all of her arguments backwards, on purpose.
Want to disagree with someone? Just label them far right.
Part of what benefited the actually nasty side of the far right is labeling of reasonable people as far right, when convenient. It makes unreasonable people seem reasonable because they are now in the same category as reasonable people.
I just now replied to your earlier question, telling you who I am (not socks) and you're already in attack mode against that guy. I don't know what a sportsball is, but you're right that anyone who doesn't agree with you should leave. You'll destroy this place. Later @x0x7 I'm out.
Well, if you really are Hong Kong Phooey, I can't apologize profusely enough. (Though I stand by my political analysis - BOTH "sides" of the same war-hawk are the problem.) Only now did I see your other comment.
I did not mean to give a fence. You took a fence. You are no gatekeeper. Give it back.
Shame you got so sensitive. This might not be the shit-disturbing Hong Kong Phooey I remember.
If you are in fact socks, pretending not to be socks, then ducking out would be the perfect way to dispose of this burnt alias. Time to make a new one. And when this new one verbosely says the same kind of noise then we'll accuse them of being socks too.
I'd rather you be Hong Kong Phooey and tell us about the forum you were also hand-coding when last I saw you a few years back.

Understatement of the year.
And yes, the Left would be nothing without the Right. They are both fucked up.
Your retarded game of Left vs Right doesn't wash here. Go back to your sportsball.
You won't convert anyone to go Left - or even Right.
The only rational way to go is towards autonomy, anarchism, and self-reliance. "AUTHORITY" IS THE PROBLEM.
Why do you love authority so much, socks?
You couldn't sound more like socks if you tried. All the corporate media is Left, even when it's Right.
The old "left of center" folks haven't changed, but the Left sure has and that might lead to confusion, as intended.
So how do we wake folks up?

Wrong on all counts except for left wing being responsible for the shit show
Everyone's fighting against neoliberal imperialism (globalism) these days.
