You guys do realize that the left moved farther left, and the right is just lagging behind. That’s about it.
We’re going to keep demanding equal rights for everyone despite your fascist bullshit.
Why don’t you light a tiki torch about it?
You have equal rights. What right do you not have that everyone else does?
Why do you assume I’m talking about myself?
We’re not all as self-obsessed as conservatives. You just can’t help but tell on yourself, huh?
Why don’t you storm the capitol about it?
Ok. What rights do they not have? Can you name them?
How about not getting shot by police while eating ice cream on the couch?
Why don’t you bomb a federal building about it?
You have that right. Just because cops are usually shit heads doesn’t mean that you don’t have rights.
How is equal rights relevant in say, a discussion about abortion between a man and a woman?
Well, the equal in a man would be a legal/financial abortion, where the man forfeits all parental rights, and doesn’t have any of the responsibilities.
You’re right, men have less rights than women in many states, since men don’t have reproductive rights.

That’s not at all what I’m saying and it’s creepy as fuck that you’re putting words in my mouth so it seems someone here agrees with your weirdo take. There’s no equivalent of an abortion for a man and insisting that there’s such thing as a “legal/financial” abortion is just straight delusional. Good lord…
You realize that was the most obvious bait I could come up with, right?
Cool! So tell me: who in the American “left” are advocating for the abolishment of private property and armed uprisings against the ownership class? You know, the things a real leftist would advocate for?
That’s economic left. There’s social left too, which is what I was referring to. Unfortunately, the single axis left-right isn’t very descriptive.
The movement left that you’re referring to, if whining about the social left, is that we’re finally able to acknowledge large groups of people that were oppressed for fucking ages. And when I say able I’m breezing last the fact that people still find themselves in dangerous situations all the time. Yes, things get more complex as each step forward reveals new layers but accepting trans people and realizing that you need to force business owners to not be hugely racist is not “moving left” it’s “being a decent fucking human being”.
Business owners haven’t been able to racially discriminate for ages. That’s not even part of the discussion anymore.
