's kinda all I was trying to say with lemmy.wtf/post/34844222

No matter where you are on the left, they’re not there.

Because that’s not even left.

not my left - Lemmy.wtf

I love these three socialist lemmies. So I’m posting this here. Not sure how well or how mixed a reception this will get here. Not sure if the right place to post it. Plausibly shall step on some toes (with the bottommost instance of “not my left”) a bit. And I imagine there may be some responses nitpicking that 3 of the "not my left"s are more left than “my left” ~ to which I say, misses the point. Anyhoo… enjoy, or don’t. I strive to protect your freedom to receive things however you wish. Love that bitch called interpretation. ;D But I do hope it sparks some interesting thought, discussion, and maybe even is a useful tool. At the very least, it’ll help (a bit) to explain what I mean when I keep saying “not my left”, to those who misrepresent the authoritarian left as “the left”, or even really really misrepresent by calling the nowadays so-called “liberal” (left side of authoritarian right) as “the left”.

Rowan and Martin were a comedy dua that were fairly liberal and got William F. Buckley, a notable conservative, to appear on their show by promising to fly him to Los Angeles in a plane with two right wings. I am quite sure that the US has been flying with two right wings for longer than lthat.
