Usually the place to ask this would be as it’s own thread, but the answer is that we uniformly despise “libertarians” (in the American sense), Republicans, and fascists, and we support socialist states, though with varying levels and types of criticism.
We dislike Bernie and the Squad, but some people oscillate between that and liking them every time they tweet something that sounds nice. I personally think a Congressperson we elect to only tweet and vote “present” on monstrous bills is not worth dog shit on the bottom of a shoe unless they are tweeting state secrets (and even then, it’d need to be really targeted to be useful).
Note: don’t worry, in America, liberals are also rightwing, just the “moderate” right compared to the Republicans.
Thanks man, that cleared it up. I agree that both wings in the US are right, it’s just the way the country is I guess. The Democrats would be considered extreme right in most of western Europe.
Note that all European countries are still liberal and thus Hexbear users dislike them. This is before getting into the history of colonialism and imperialism which continues to this day.
When we applaud Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger for military coups that overthrow colonial-supported leaders, it’s because those coups are popular among their people and take direct anti-colonial action, even if they’re not socialist revolutions like we’d prefer.
