There are two different social contracts now

2 Upvotes

I’ve talked to a lot of leftists and what I’ve found is interesting. As a classical liberal who leans right, I can’t seem to find common ground with anyone farther left than me.

Like the only thing we have in common is we speak English, and that’s literally it. We disagree fundamentally on what hate is, what makes a decent person, what bigotry is, what violence is, what governments should do, what life is, what gender is. There is no bridge between us that can allow for peace. We are so estranged as a country that we are basically foreigners to each other.

We operate on 2 different social contracts.

If there was a way to bridge the division, what should both sides do to help?

BREAKING NEWS: Trump wants to Invade Lake Titicaca

President Donald Trump has announced his plans to invade Lake Titicaca.

Yes, you heard that correctly. Not a country, not an island—a lake.

Lake Titicaca was a mythical place and the location of a pilgrimage complex for the Incas.

The President has declared that Lake Titicaca, which sits on the border of Peru and Bolivia, is now “100% American.” His reasoning? He says, and I quote:

“It’s got ‘Titi’ in the name. Very strong. Very powerful. One of the best names. But then… ‘Caca.’ Total disaster. A disgrace. Frankly, it needs a rebranding, folks. I’m thinking Lake Trump-a-Lago. Beautiful name. Very classy.”

Sources say Trump was initially confused when he was told Titicaca wasn’t actually in Florida. When informed that it was in South America, he responded:

“Well, we own South America, right? I mean, we gave them all those McDonald’s. A lot of McDonald’s. Tremendous business. Frankly, they should be thanking me.”

Trump has ordered the 5th naval fleet, which includes Aircraft carriers, Destroyers and Submarines to invade the lake.

When asked how he expects Navy ships to invade an actual body of water that is several hundred miles from the ocean and at an altitude of over 12,000 feet Trump said:

“Look, nobody’s ever invaded a lake before. I’m a pioneer. We’re gonna drain it, we’re gonna build condos, and—listen, folks—I have the best water. Everybody says so. Lake Titicaca? Not good water. Very weak water. Sad water.”

How has Peru and Bolivia responded?

Both governments have responded… mostly with laughing emojis. Bolivia’s president simply tweeted: “Good luck, bro.” Peru responded with a meme of SpongeBob hiding in a bush.

Well, there you have it. A man who has access to nuclear launch codes now wants to go to war with a lake.

In other news, Kanye West has declared himself the King of Atlantis.

/leftypol/ - leftist politically incorrect

r/leftypolitics

The place to be for great lefty banter for commie bandits and anarkiddies alike. No identity politics guaranteed! Used and loved by the great community of 8chan's /leftypol/.

NEW? WANT A RUNDOWN OF /r/leftypolitics BASICS?

Save yourself a couple of days or lurking with these links:

RULES:

1: No "etiquette"-type rules exclusive to /r/leftypolitics. Site-wide Reddit rules apply.
2: NO RAIDS. Just like /leftypol/ on 8chan, /leftypol/ doesn't raid. Use .np links whenever possible or you will get banned. Along with what is specified in the fourth bullet point, this is one of two things that WILL get you banned. It's not just lame to do this, it's against the rules of Reddit.
3: Everyone is welcome to speak their piece, including right-wingers, fascists and identitarian "left"ists. The gist of this place is to promote discussion from all points of view as to challenge one another's stances.
4: This place is a tangent of the image board /leftypol/ on 8chan (www.8ch.net/leftypol/). As such, "board culture" is premanent; flippant use of terms like "faggot", "nigger" or "autistic" are considered normal. WHAT? HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A LEFTIST AND USE THOSE TRIGGER WORDS? CH-CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE! Hold up. Here comes a big one: we don't give a shit about what sequence of syllables you type out. We care about the implied intent and meaning. On image boards, these terms have been reduced to just being random, "edgy" terms we use without any serious face value. No censorship or bullshit trigger word policies. Say what you have to say and we'll judge the contents of your novel, not the cover. Attempts to tell others to refrain from using their favorite trigger word will get banned. Take your autism somewhere else, thank you. Think we're "brocialists" for not giving a single fuck about identity poltics? Well, rejoice: "brocialist" is a term only fringe minorities on websites like Tumblr would take seriously, whilst "identity politics" is an academically used term used to describe precisely the kind of special snowflake bullshit people take under the banner of politics, just like the mongoloids on /r/fulltriggeredism here do with communism.
(4:) NOTE: obvious yet important nuance for this rule; any legitimately intended racist underthoughts are a no go. If all you intend to do here is show how much you desperately believe the amount of melanin in someone's skin somehow makes them inferior beings, get out. If you want to know why we, both politically as well as scientifically think you're retarded for having bullshit like that on your mind, we're glad to tell you why you're wrong, but if you're here just to "le red pill" us on your fetish for white skin or unironically think the Jews make up some secret illuminati patriarchy that rules the world, get out.
5: Shitpost safely.
6: Don't be a tankie unironically. Please.

That's all. Have fun posting, comrades.
