Extreme left as defined in US falls somewhere around center-center right in EU on most issues.
Even in canada, he's considered extreme in some circles....
I overheard someone say today, "wow, don't new yorkers know they already tried communism in russia, cuba, venezuela, etc.???"
like... even in fucking canada we're calling a social democrat a communist
Shaking my fucking head.... i hate being neighbors with the US
Public transport is far from free here in the Netherlands. In fact I commute by car because it's cheaper
Username checks out :P
I was in Brussels recently and learned that the subway there is basically free as seemingly all stations have broken gates 🤭
But jokes aside, I was indeed a little bit shocked about the state of Brussels coming from Switzerland 😅 so much broken infrastructure, so much unused real estate (like fenced in but nothing done with it), so much waste and so many empty giant laughing gas bottles…
Maybe I was just in the wrong sector, but damn.. Never have seen something like this, and this is where main politics of EU takes place…
Wait, wait, let me get my best accent going:
“If you want less crime, give people less reason to crime.”
But that would involve not shooting people, so I understand that might be a bit out there.
lol or for some child’s play. US far left ideas is basic in most countries.
Am European; can confirm.
Yeah, there is very little that is "radical" about Zohran. Especially when you contrast that with what the Republican Party is actually carrying out against the American people right now and we don't even have to get into what they may or may not believe or what they want to do, in theory. We can see that with our own eyes.
That's not even getting into the completely crazy shit that their funders are influenced by: insane dumbasses like Curtis Yarvin, who is so full of Dunning-Kruger that he seemingly is convinced he's a genius and books like The Sovereign Individual.
It's also not getting into how the more overtly racist part of the party is excited by books like The Camp of the Saints....
