A lot of people hated the first version of this in the first places I posted it, so I’ve tried to improve it a bit, but I’m still not quite sure how it will be received. Is here a good place for it?

Each group’s approach
Progressive
We want to stop using our taxes to bomb brown kids / march towards extinction. We want the freedom to work for our own survival.
Without funding bombs, we could eliminate the biggest tax burdens, shift remaining taxes more fairly, and provide basic needs like food and shelter.
You might not hear these ideas every day. We’re so outnumbered by extinction cultists, it’s probably harder to encounter us than to encounter liars who say “banning guns is progress” or “leftists support starvation” or something. Lately, we’re basically not allowed to be famous in real life, so I’m just a picture of Captain Kirk from Star Trek.
“Socialist”
If we get enough power, we will provide basic needs like food. However, we will repeatedly ask you to re-explain how “warlord taxes” and a “societal extinction cult” stop you from wanting an “actual paying job.”
When we’re tired of paying for your food, we aren’t really sure if we’ll kill you, enslave you, or finally get what you’re saying / let you work for your own survival. Some of us might “move right.” Some might “move left.” We’re at least listening to your points.
You’ve probably heard all these ideas before. Don’t worry. You’ll hear our ideas again, and again, and again. We’re one of the groups backed by the FCC.
“Moderate Right”
If we get enough power, we will enslave you for not willingly joining our extinction cult.
Social programs will be put in place to make sure you can’t be homeless, because you can’t be jobless.
We’ll keep your living/working conditions just tolerable enough to make you comply.
You’ve probably heard all these ideas before. Don’t worry. You’ll hear our ideas again, and again, and again. We’re one of the groups backed by the FCC.
“Far Right”
If we get enough power, we will kill you ASAP for not joining our extinction cult.
We’ll call that “freedom” because we’ll be “free” to do whatever we want to outsiders: people with the wrong behavior or skin color for our in-group.
Since you’re dead, you won’t be able to argue “freedom” means “not having a bunch of dumb rules people can be killed for ignoring.”

Yes, I know. Implicit in his idea here is that the FCC specifically shuts down ‘progressive’ themed websites and discussions online. Which he has confirmed he thinks happens here, and indeed in other threads.
What are you on about?
I’m discussing the Original Post. If you want to also drag iloveDigit@piefed.social’s comments into this. I’m not your guy.
Same goes for spoon-feeding you The Overton Window, Embrace/Expand/Extinguish strategies, or the current and past strategies of fascists when it comes to “debate” in the public sphere. You’ve twisted OP’s original words, moved the goal-posts on them, and apparenly managed to ignore the hundred’s of break-downs of just why the fuck Charlie Kirk was such a despicable person.
I doubt you’re in this community for any positive engagement, and either way, I’m still not your mark.
He also continued to confirm he thought that in this thread.
I have not twisted anyone’s words. That is what he claims.
What does Charlie Kirk have to do with anything here? When did I say anything about him whatsoever?
Charlie Kirk has everything to do with it. I was already wondering if you’re even from or in the US before I was wondering if you were anything left of Trump. “Try and fail to google it” all you like. I’ll be blocking you now, so its not my time you’ll be wasting, with all of your loudly not understanding anything.
I’m not from the USA, and I’m not right-wing.
