  • Sorry my bad, I thought jokes about Mamdanistan were more common internet parlance, the point is a radical leftwing state in the minds of fox news viewers. I was doing the limiting case to prove the point, but the base point is prosecution of criminal environmental acts through courts requires hierarchy.

    I guess I have to ask what you mean by hierarchy if you don’t believe that courts executing people counts.


  • Okay, but just grounding it in historical context doesn’t make it the definition. If Mamdani established Mamdanistan and abused courts to execute people polluting ground water with data centers, that would be hierarchical, but very clearly not “right wing” in the common understanding.

    Opposing hierarchies is generally fitting, but the minutia of politics make such simple definitions harder to agree on by everyone, which touches on their point.

















  • they mostly agree with

    No it’s a candidate you mostly agree with. I for one don’t care for a party that doesn’t fight for medicare for all, doesn’t fight to restore the courts, doesn’t imprison traitors and rapists, that supports genocide, that pumps more funding into cops and ICE, that strives for “the most lethal military in the world”, that continues to subsidize fossil fuels, that legally bars workers striking, that doesn’t bother to codify Roe, and ultimately when they finally get around to doing something, they assume that giving government money to market driven companies will best solve problems.


  • Maybe because it’s a disingenuous and ignorant defense that plays into the right’s framing that “their transing the kids”, ignores the reality of ‘de-transitioners’, sows doubt on puberty blockers, and is just the casual whitewashed version that is used to make the more controlling legislation palatable.

    Like why should you get “close enough” points for this take on Lemmy of all places.
