I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

    Just a reminder that it isn’t a left vs right conversation. It’s working class vs ruling class.

    You aren’t bitter at leftists, you’re bitter at the ideas that media companies use to keep you angry at leftists instead of oligarchs.

    If you have to work, you’re working class.

    If you actually do hate certain types of people, then you need to work on yourself.

    If you don’t believe certain people need health care, then you need to work on yourself.

    If you believe ultra wealthy (people making over $10mil in income annually) deserve more tax cuts, then you need to work on yourself.

    If you don’t believe that minimum wage should have parity with inflation, then you need to work on yourself.

    Have some class solidarity.

    EDIT: To all those downvotes… Ask yourself why you are downvoting me. (Now with 100% more sources)

    Do you actually hate certain people? Really? But you’re downvoting me? Work on yourself.

    Do you actually believe you don’t deserve health care? That others don’t deserve health care? Seriously? Work on yourself.

    Are you super wealthy (low percentage chance)? I’m saying uncomfortable things to you. But you can easily afford those taxes so maybe work on yourself.

    Do you believe people working for minimum wage shouldn’t be able to afford an apartment by themselves anywhere in the USA? Work on yourself.

      Also, to add to this: Leftist ideologies does not have to be authoritarian or have to involve genocides like some regimes have did some in the past. Leftist ideologies is compatible with democracy, and some might argue that Leftist ideologies require a democratic system.

      Example: North Korea currently is called “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” but I doubt most people would actually consider that democratic.

      Now imagine someone just started shouting “Democracy is bad because North Korea is a Democracy. This is why Monarchy is better!”

      See how idiotic that sounds. Same thing with claiming all Leftist ideologies are bad because of a few failed “Marxist-Leninist” societal experiments. Some socialist policies have been successfully implemented. In Norway, although it’s still a capitalist country, has implemented some socialist policies under the “Nordic Model”. This is sometimes referred to as Social Democracy. See how democracy still exists in Norway?
