The US barely has any genuinely left-wing politicians (Bernie Sanders, AOC, DSA). There are no one who realistically could be called far left in any significant position of governing power.
Even these are not far left, they're just basic liberal left.
Which groups or media that are commonly labeled 'far left' that are calling for nationalizing all land. Or eliminating all inheritances. Or nationalizing all communications and transportation industries. Or nationalizing the Federal Reserve (that one's really gone horseshoe theory, and is a republican plan now).
The only thing 'far left' people want to nationalize is health care, and that's simply the fiscally responsible policy. The thing that is crushing the federal budget is the obscene level of graft occurring in that industry, and the only way out is to nationalize or otherwise burn the existing system to the ground via government policy.
There's a whole bunch of socialism to the right of *!=) Marx and the left of classic liberalism.
Words have meaning, trying to characterise "far left" as some sort of US caricature of Blue haired liberal types is less than useful and only serves right wing outlets.
There is very little left wing discourse in the US.
GP was saying that there are hardly far left politicians, saying that the few that exist are Sanders/AOC/DSA.
I was just pointing out that even these are not actual socialists, they're Democratic Socialists of the stripe you find in the mainstream in a lot of staunchly capitalist European nations. There are definitely zero literal far-left politicians, objectively speaking.
Socialist/social democrat are two related but distinct concepts are confusing for those not versed in political science, but their definitions have certainly not changed: democratic socialists for example don't advocate for communal ownership or central planning. The actual policies put forward by DSA candidates in the US, viewed through a political science analysis, are vanilla liberal. The only thing making them 'far left' is that actual far right monied interests have systematically dragged the Overton Window into a place where "public figure performing the Nazi salute on the capitol steps" is "controversial, in some circles" rather than "immediately career-ending."
Yes - the Overton window in the US has shifted so far right that a Nazi salute is more or less mainstream, whereas democratic socialists like Sanders/AOC are now "far left". And judges who dare block Trump's actions are, of course, "radical left lunatics" (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/federal-judge...).
What about if we instead of building more levels on top of this already falling building we build a new one a few blocks over. With blackjack, hookers, and free* and humane health care.
* not really free of course, but you pay less on average than you do today and you do it on your taxes instead of to some profit chasing private company -- and most importantly those who don't pay today will have equal access to it as well.
In Mexico that's the US, so maybe the poster is from Spain.
The doubling of the letters (e.g., "EE." for "Estados" and "UU." for "Unidos") follows a convention in Spanish where plural abbreviations are indicated by duplicating the letters. The correct form would be "EE. UU." This practice aligns with historical Latin abbreviations (e.g., "SS." for "Sancti" (plural) or "S." for "Sanctus" (singular)).
It's almost like profits shouldn't be part of the equation when we are talking about humans lives and health.
Noone should enrich themselves on others not getting the health care they need, and those who do it today are morally bankrupt -- and society should fight back.
26? I was thinking schizophrenia as soon as I heard the age. The weirdness of the situation, unclear motive, and how it seems very out of character all scream onset of some kind of mental illness yes.
What do you think the fix is? Because the only 'solution' seems to be adding more and more taxes to the average Joe whilst endless e-waste/junk gets shipped over from China via AliExpress/Temu day to day.
We keep getting told the average Joe is to blame for eating meat and taking flights whilst large corporations/industry laugh at us. Make it make sense.
Temu doesn't ship items across the world for fun. They do it because the average Joe pays them to do it.
The meat industry doesn't hold excessive amounts of cattle for fun. They do it because the average Joe pays them to do it.
These industries don't just happen to exist. They exist because the average Joe wants them to exist.
If the average Joe stopped buying meat, stopped shopping on Temu and stopped buying palm oil, these industries would cease to exist within days.
But the average Joes wants them to exist. The average Joe decides, every single day, over and over again, that he wants these industires to destroy the climate.
Oh but it's just so convenient and cheap to shop on Temu.
Like measurable in our lifetime? The average distance to the moon will be 3.8 meters further away in a hundred years. That's insignificant as far as tides goes.
Despite what another commenter says, the moon will not leave earths captive field. It will recede until it gets tidally locked with earth, and both the tide cycles and the moons recension will halt. That is, if there still is water in a few billion years and it hasn't been replaced with Brawndo
Is the moon not already tidally locked? The same hemisphere of it always faces the earth. Is there a different kind of tidal locking or orbital resonance it will settle into?
It goes on until an Earth's day is as long as a month. Both will face each other in a fixed way.
But it takes many billions of years and the Sun will burn both to a cinder much before that.
