You know fully well that vaccines make frogs gay. It's a protective measure not to use them!

For real, what is wrong with you?

Huh? I'm not even from the UK or a royalist 😂 what is up with your stupid assumptions? Go touch some grass fam

"Never"? This is literally the only comment of mine you've ever seen 😂 bro, don't tell me there's not pleeenty of criticism of the Catholic church going around. By far the most scorned religious institution in the West.

Now what does this have to do with criticism of a pervasive issue in Japanese culture? Do we have to attach a list of every problematic institution every time criticism is given, or do you just have a weak ass mental? Bring an argument rather than ad hominem and we might actually have something relevant to talk about. Otherwise you're just a tosser.

Don't let fear of being "racist" keep you from calling a spade a spade. Japan has a track record when it comes to issues such as these.

Element here all the way!

You misunderstand. Elon is retired from US politics now, obviously, and will return to being a force of good!

I definitely disagree we're seeing as terrible rise of fascist ideology; oligarchs controlling the flow of information on the internet is the biggest threat towards human existence.

I wouldn't even say I'm a regular right-winger, or any kind of wing really, I mainly simply don't believe in the effectiveness of extremes.

What nations would you consider "properly" socialist? Isn't a prerequisite for achieving acommunist society a period of socialist government preparing the people's spirits? Also, even 'socialism" is a spectrum; if any government with progressive taxes is "socialist" then yes, you have plenty of states you can include. Mind you, I'm from Scandinavia - a region often mentioned as an example of socialist policies - but the system is fundamentally capitalist for better and worse.

Sorry if I'm projecting a bit too much onto you! I don't like capitalism, but I don't find it realistic or achieveable to rid yourself of it in a meaningful way; history has shown that a new upper class emerges once the heads of the former have been cut off. Power. It's human nature and it always will be. The best bet is to compromise and pressure capitalist systems as much as possible. Which camp am in?

I don't know who "you guys" are; I'm not American at least. I have a more specific definition of "socialism" than just living under a system that taxes the rich and has a degree of national control over the means of production

Most moderate anything government doesn't even begin to come anywhere close to the control of a "radical" leftist state.

What is your basis for "radical" leftists standing for human rights? Radical leftists are rarely liberally minded. I don't disagree that many left-wing parties stand for decency, environmental protection, and various rights - but "radicals" do not.

Of course fascists are bad and can go fuck themselves - but not all "right wingers" are fascists.

Socialist regimes are inherently fond of surveillance. Indiviuals can have any given stance on it. Politically involved people - minus fascists - tend to have stances against surveillance and for data protection.

There's a lot of nuance inbetween "capitalist" and "anti-capitalist". I'm not here to defend capitalism but this black-and-white worldview often held by self-proclaimed left-wingers is offputting to the very masses that they claim to represent to such a degree that the working class would rather shoot themselves in the foot by voting for fascists and fascist-adjacents rather than support "crazy leftists". In the modern age it's an ideology of a lot of talk and studies and very few results.

And how do you ensure that the "radical left" doesn't support surveillance measures? Not like the ideology has a good track record on that matter.

"No true Scotsman".

We don't have to think in political leanings following the left-right paradigm. Parties and persons considered "leftist" aren't inherently good, nor is the other side inherently bad. Don't limit yourself by identifying with just one ideology. In case you didn't realise, socialists tend to like surveillance as well
