as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.

edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don’t know the reason since i’m not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he’s still up for the candidate) supporters. don’t know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.

    No, there’s really not sound arguments against them.

    That’s like saying there are no trade-offs to any policies; it’s simply not true. I’m as left as they come (not American left, British), but failing to admit there are flaws or sound arguments against left-wing ideas is very ignorant.

      Nonono, you misunderstand the political landscape.

      Something having downsides IS NOT the same as the claims being made against things. If you think conservative politicians are arguing in good faith, you simply haven’t been listening.

      There really are not sound (conservative) arguments against them.

      If you do not agree, you do not know enough. Period.

          Your pride in ignorance is pathetic. Perfect example of why public education is critically important to fund, and to fund properly.

          Conservstives cling on to old, stupid ideas that are in the process of being proven wrong. Again and again and again and again.

          But you go ahead and defend that hill that brought us golden gems of wisdom like “Trickle Down Economics”, private, for-profit prisons, and a lack of regulation so companies can dump what ever they want in to rivers and the ocean…

        Not what I said, is it? The person said there are no arguments against “the typical internet-left positions”; which I disagree with. If such positions were infallible, they would always succeed. All policies have trade-offs.

        I didn’t mention “right … sound points” or their representation.

            All good, fellow RATM fan.

            (that was not a joke…but then I just went to play it and found it’s actually a Springsteen song; TIL)
