    Can we all agree to stop using terms like political left and political right in such wide context? There are a lot of complicated issues considered to be political, and using aforementioned terms is just oversimplification. There is no need for all of this, it just helps dishonest people. There is even scientific study showing impact of labeling of different proportions es left or right.

      No.

      This is exactly the kind of nuance that the meme is referencing!!!

      I think it’s valid to talk about left and right (in addition to other labels with more detail) as long as we have a two-party system. But I also agree that the tenancy to oversimplify everything only helps the religions fascists and the capitalists that manipulate them.

        So, like most of the liberals on here, you don’t actually understand why we even have such concepts like “left” and “right.”

          That’s quite a statement, stranger. Amazing how you know so much about me from that one comment.

            No. It isn’t. It’s a pretty damn mundane one.

            The only way you can see anything left in the right-wing racketeering “two-party system” is if you don’t have the foggiest idea what left and right actually means.

            I take it this is the first time you’ve been informed of this?

              You have been extremely condescending and rude, making sweeping assumptions about me based on a few sentences. I took a look at your comment history, and it seems that this is basically all you do here, attacking others to presumably make yourself feel better.

              I’m fine with disagreement, but I have better things to do than help you compensate for whatever inadequacies you think you have.

                Perhaps if the liberal hive-mind was less immunized against reality the “condescending and rude” behavior wouldn’t be required.

                This you?

                I think it’s valid to talk about left and right (in addition to other labels with more detail) as long as we have a two-party system.

                So I was wrong about you being completely uninformed (at best) or grossly misinformed (at worst) about the subject matter at hand?

                I’m fine with disagreement,

                We haven’t disagreed on anything. In order for us to actually disagree, both of us needs to at least have a working knowledge of what it is we are talking about, don’t we?

                One of us knows what the terms “left” and “right” actually means in a political context - the other doesn’t.

                Nuance is not something to hide behind.

        I am allergic to nuance can you please rephrase this into terms of marvel superheroes?
