      Real, I’ve been called a communist for believing that government should provide free addiction rehabilitation centers for homeless people instead of jailing them.

        Well I think those homeless people should get a job at a grocery, get promoted to manager, and eventually be promoted to CEO. What don’t poor people understand about that?

    I once told a guy I knew online that I was against microtransactions in games, because it directly incentivises bad user experiences for f2ps as well as shady business practices that ultimately prey on the users

    He called me a fascist

    Whoa whoa whoa, hold up, don’t you think we need to meet half way between trying to make a more just society and trying to make a less just society? Extremism is bad after all, whether it’s for good things or bad things.

    Anecdotal, I know, but I have never been called a commie in my entire life and I’m a very vocal advocate for socialized healthcare, food, science, and housing.

    Whenever I see people being called a communist outside of Fox News it’s because they’re not advocating for communism but because they’re advocating for China and the USSR. And despite what they say about Israel, those people don’t actually give a single fuck about other people.
