what is the point in even addressing your false dilemma. it's not like you'll be like "wow holy crap i see it! is this what everyone calls 'nuance'? well i'll be damned!"
Originally posted by ilikecomicsI would say you should refer to my previous post about why conservatives try to make the economy so much more important than every other topic put together.
Yeah, I've seen people say that but they didnt provide an argument.This is my version of what you said:
Leftists think the political spectrum should include things outside the economy, so they can pretend the economy doesn't matter.
Also in response to your claim, that's why we use the political axis, which has a x and y plane. Left to right deals with economics, up and down deals with the other stuff.
Do you have a critic of that metric as well ?

@blakeIf you say you believe in the free market then you can't say you support government intervention into the economy, this includes taxation, regulation, protectionism, war, etc.
However, you could say you believe in a fairly free economy, but that statement could apply to modern china, soooooo....

A free market is a market where people can trade free of aggression.
If you support any aggression, it's not agree market.
It's like love making vs rape.
If there's any non consenting coercion in love making it's called rape.
No false dilemma.

Yes, the addition you want on top of the free market is violence.
I'm saying that's immoral. I'm not saying you have to have my morality, but I would like you to tell the truth that adscititious component you want is in fact violence. Then we'll be on the same page

Seems like they basically lost the plot after Trump lost.

He has certain left views, but would be a bit of a stretch to label him a leftist.

Whats your definition of Left?
Most the people still hanging here voted Biden. Is that left to you ?
Originally posted by ilikecomicsThe truth is you pretend it's only violence or that the free market itself doesn't have any violent aspects.

It's pretty childish to adopt your stance.
