Asking one person isn't a good sample size. Read accounts from January 6th convicts who claim to be patriots and real Americans. Have you not heard of Patriot Prayer, which put on events that the Proud Boys attended? It seems like you're engaging in an anecdotal fallacy where you think your limited experience is definitive.

My point is that what you're calling far left isn't far or even left. You're applying an Overton window dominated by right wing perspectives. It's not left when NBC interviews someone from Planned Parenthood or talks about equitable housing initiatives. It's definitely not left when mainstream news organizations use soft language to describe corruption and crimes committed by Republicans. Right wingers love to use CNN as an example of "far left" media, when it's far closer to Newsmax than to the Daily Worker. Corporate media can't be leftist by its very nature.

And I have spoken to plenty of people on the right that call themselves far right. They just prefer their dog whistles and euphemisms in official publications such as "Patriot" or "Real American."

You use terms only right wing news sites use, such as "far left." The "far left" in the US is limited to smaller, unrepresented people, for example: anarchist groups in places like Portland and Seattle. The mainstream media is corporate and capitalist. It can't push "far left" perspectives because it has none. It pushes at best centrist ideas like "women should have some amount of say in their health care," but they're even milquetoast about that. "Far left" is black bloc protesters milkshaking Andy Ngo. Let me know when the mainstream media endorses that.

That likely means that you've been consuming further right media that paints anything left of hunting homeless people for sport as "far left."

Being more moderate would mean moving leftward.

This is good. It will drive more people away from Reddit.

I read it as creating a mandate for the government to reduce microplastics that get into the human body because those reduce fertility and sperm count. Except in these kinds of bills, there's always an unwritten addendum that says that the bill doesn't apply if a perceived obligation affects a company's bottom line

Important detail: It isn't a bill that's been passed. It's only been introduced and referred to the judiciary committee. It'll be bigger news if it gets out of the committee, goes to the floor, and gets passed.

It's meant to endear this sycophant to Trump so he gets in line for a cabinet position when it comes out that he has ethical issues some journalist is about to expose.

Guys, guys, I don't know why you're upset. It's an ancient symbol for good luck. Completely benign! What do you have against good luck?!? It's like everyone whose genocidal white supremacist advocacy you disagree with is a Nazi or something...

Well, evil is a medical problem for other people, like those with profitably denied insurance claims.

"I mean, do they want to dismantle public health?"

The answer is an overwhelmingly obvious "yes" at this point. Wealthcare companies would love an influx of patients they don't have to actually treat but still collect premiums and copays from.
