I'm broadly leftist, generally anti-authoritarian, and pro-civil rights and liberties.
...Including the rights of individuals to keep and bear arms of their choosing.

Ranting about works like the MCU and Zombie Land Saga because I don’t agree with either.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe never ceases to amuse me with how it influences the industry as a whole or how it misrepresents the comics.
Zombie Lan Saga was an anime that subverted zombies in favor of Japanese pop idols that are supposed to be ‘zombies’ but not exactly.
I used to watch those works to begin with and then just stopped because I disagreed with them.
Of course, they’re just my opinions.
At least I’m not criticizing my neighbors, right?
Suggesting to stockbros that viewing money as both debt but also, specifically, debt that doesn't have to be paid back and isn't owed to anyone or anything anyway (thus making it, by definition, not debt) is, at best, problematic.
Tbf, most of them still think that federal banks create most of the money in circulation and, just to be clear, that is not true. The vast, vast majority of money in circulation is created by private banks when they issue loans.
Edit: sorry, I should add, money is debt. If its not debt, it's not money. A bank note is a fancy I.O.U.
Saying something that is insufficiently negative about Elon Musk. Or Mark Zuckerberg, he's another one on the "villain" list.

I got downvoted recently for saying "If you’re friends with someone, wouldn’t you want to know if they’re also friends with someone problematic?" and "I would definitely want to know if my friends were close with people who’d been in prison."

Pointing out that the replies to this thread are loaded with centrists and conservatives who are big amgy that they aren't praised for their genius when they take their right wing and centrist PoV opinions to known leftist and tanky instances instead of neutral discussion spaces.
Hey look, it's working!
