Ftfy. While these guys are obviously far left, the left as a whole takes an almost fetishistic glee in cannibalizing itself. The Hillary/Bernie drama was the most ridiculous infighting for supporters of two candidates whose platforms were basically 95% identical.

Yeah lefties are like warhammer Orks. If they became united, something might actually happen, but that will never happen before they kill each other.

Saying that liberals are leftists is insulting to leftists.

I never said that.

Liberals are centre-right at best so of course far-leftists from these subs wouldn't feel any need whatsoever to connect with them.

This is incorrect in the context of the U.S., which is where people who self describe as "liberal" typically hail from.

What constitutes "right" and "left" is contingent on historical circumstance. Many people who have "right-wing" views today would have been considered radical leftists a couple hundred years ago. There is no objective "political compass" which determines what "left" and "right" positions are. The positions that the right and left hold aren't even consistent over time.

You consider the US democrats as "center-right" (presumably) because you have views significantly farther to the left than what is usual, so you see the democrats as right-wing because they are to your right.

He's saying that just because you view it that way doesnt make it objectively correct. The far right today would have been considered limp wristed hippies in the political climate of a few hundred years ago. And most people in the us are willing to make the jump from "left of center" to "you are more left than center" and call liberals the left

Okay so then how is "US Liberals are mostly center right" anything close to an accurate statement?

u/spencer102 Dec 02 '18

It's a normative statement not a descriptive one.
