You can’t really say “I’m only fascist leaning”. Either you are or you aren’t

    THANK YOU. This is an easy way to tell if you’re dealing with liberals: do they put modifiers in front of “right” or “capitalism”? (Even the term “late capitalism” comes from a lib IIRC.)

    As for me, there is no acceptable amount of rightwing. I’m so leftwing, I don’t even make right turns when I move around. I just keep turning left until I get there.

      I really like late stage capitalism. It implies that capitalism itself is cancer, and it’s the terminal kind. It’s the part of the illness where organs start shutting down.

      If I’m talking to someone that is not a leftist, I will absolutely use modifiers because they distinguish using them.

      You’re absolutely right though. There is no acceptable amount of “right”. I made that mistake when I first interacted here by using the term “extreme” when I meant to say “unchanging in the face of evidence”. As in, an extremist. I’ve learned a lot since then though.
