Well, time to get your eyesight checked maybe? If Trump sending troops to major blue cities isn't Authoritarian, I don't know what is.

    Authoritarian? Yes. Left? No.

    They've been implementing austerity measures and cutting benefits for disabled people for crying out loud.

      Labour are left wing.

      Maybe less Left than Corbyn was, but they are a left wing socially progressive party.

      That there’s legitimately no money left is caused by austerity. You can’t spend your way out when your debt to GDP ratio is far exceeding 100%. More borrowing will increase the countries interest payments and further cripple the economy.

      It’s a mess. Ask your economist friends.

    > I don’t know, arresting people for hate speech for writing the letter “N” on social media or being arrested for saying “I love bacon”

    I can't believe you're saying this with a straight face. I really wonder how it feels living in a complete fantasy and constantly whining about made-up stuff. Truly, deeply pathetic. Grow. the. fuck. up.

      Hello.

      Where have you been?

      Man Arrested for saying “I love bacon” at a construction site: https://x.com/tpostmillennial/status/1958224670093709319?s=4...

      Police showing up to confiscate young girls phone for online speech: https://youtu.be/lVP-ysIad0I?si=g74BBHd-s1PVlu-g

      The “N” letter one is hard to find due to it being a hard pattern to search unfortunately.

      Edit: found it; https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPB4bmxDtNV/ or https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=591735277262669&vanity=ForTr...

      (for what its worth I’m actually dubious of the truth pertaining to the last one).

        I could foresee you linking to conservative rags or social media posts. Sorry, I don't let (most probably false) anecdotal "evidence" dictate my politics, unlike you.

        My point still stands btw, nothing from the left equates one one thousandths of what the right is currently doing. Sending the boots to blue cities. Defunding blue states. Silencing blue voices.

        But it seems like you don't care about material reality, so I'll stop wasting both our times and leave you to your sad, sad fantasy.

        I think there's a reason why none of these stories are being reported by trustworthy sources. The fact that you're getting all this from social media sounds to me like their manipulation is working on you.
