I feel like that's the case when a lot of people end up gaining a right wing following. The content becomes skewed to what the audience wants to hear, whether the person spouting it believes in it or not. Might go both ways ~~(TYT)~~, but I've never seen people complain about being labeled left wing. Makes it harder to believe them too when people like Sargon and Tim Pool have claimed to be liberals. <cite>Collat posted [p:962494746] in Russell Br...

I believe the concept is that the working poor and even middle class regardless of left/right affiliation share a common cause. The "us" is people living paycheck to paycheck, who could easily be ruined by a bad medical bill, who aren't being represented in congress from either party. The "them" are people making over a million dollars, who have influence over government and large companies, and thus generally get all their interests well represented.

He seems the epitome of "left wing hippy" who believes any and all conspiracy theories and resists anything and everything to do with the government - voting included. Basically, an idiot. I could well be wrong as not really kept up with him in forever, but the little I've seen of him points to him being this (along with not being a terribly good person in his past relationships) you're not american enough to understand to the average internet american, if someone disagrees with them on anything, it means they're on "the other side" of the political spectrum (and there's only 2 sides for some reason) --- https://i.imgur.com/286sD4e.png http://error1355.com/ce/Choco.html <cite>Choco posted [p:962495961] in Russell Br...

Pretending otherwise is extemely harmful to those most in need. How so? Both would benefit from better wages, better healthcare, police reform, etc... You seem to suggest there is something "harmful" about populism, but haven't said what it is beyond that it is perhaps over-simplified as an idea. So if we want to talk about specifics, for example, prescription-drug reform is a populist cause. So what, if anything is harmful about that? --- "Let's see what's gonna kill us slowly!" - Jack Packard, Wheel of the Worst #6 <cite>professor_jack posted [p:962496002] in Russell Br...

NeoShadowhen 02/09/22 2:52:07 PM #50:	https://youtu.be/Fcpr3craKgA This video just posted an hour ago. Goes pretty hard against Bezos. Doesnt particularly strike me as either left or right wing, but definitely seems like what my understanding is of a populist position. I dont know, if someone cant elaborate on why populism is bad, Im going to have to believe that people who speak out against it are just temporarily embarrassed elites. <cite>NeoShadowhen posted [p:962498990] in Russell Br...
