Whole lot of times you pay with your agency. You take from the money printer you become dependent on the money printer.

It's your money do what you want. However, if you really are serious about helping so-called poor people, use your money to teach them how to build, produce and take care of themselves and others. And do it where they're planted, don't migrate them elsewhere.

Good point, why get the money from the billionaires, when by print lots of money and giving it to the poor, the billionaires are less rich and the poor are now millionaires!!!! 🫡🙌

people intentionally misunderstanding you is not your problem

Agreed, and I certainly see plenty of that from some people here, but I also see plenty of people engaging in good faith, who are misunderstanding the intent whether because they genuinely don’t understand (see point about 3rd grade reading level) or because they are bringing a bias into the conversation. Maybe you’re not going to change many minds that are already biased in one direction, but you can certainly avoid pushing away those who don’t understand. And the optimist in me wants to believe that with the right message you might even find common ground with a few of the biased participants who are genuinely open to hearing other perspectives.

Left extremist pushes it too far to the fringe this is a mainstream left problem. A large portion of the left now believes that right wing speech is violence and left wing violence is speech.

Like I said, take it or leave it, but “left” vs. “leftist” is being lost on most people in the exchanges that I’m reading here on Nostr, regardless of what they “should” know. I just think that in these charged conversations, nuance is often lost. Gotta keep it at a 3rd grade reading level, and “leftist” as a technical term ain’t it

Fair enough. I hear you on that.

In America leftist is synonymous with communist and American liberals know or should know that I am not talking about them when I say “leftist”. https://blossom.primal.net/d81da335df49b5c413489db...

I just think all these terms get thrown around haphazardly by most people. Right wing politicians would love to blur the lines between Leftist and left-ish. So even though you might be using it in a more technical way, I just don’t think that’s how it’s always perceived, especially for those who aren’t actually that involved in politics, and don’t really know the difference. You can take this advice or leave it, but I think you’d get less pushback if you subbed “leftist” for “left extremist” or something like that.
