How come so many of the greatest people of all time were left wing?

Donald Trump is a demagogue who preaches doctrines he's knows are untrue to people he knows to be idiots.

Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn went to a Mississippi agriculture college on a 4H club scholarship, and thinks she knows more than Ketanji Brown Jackson who graduated from Harvard and Harvard Law.

There's your white privilege.

trump and trump alone made the decision to lock down the country and ruin his great economy in 2020 over a cold with a 0.01% kill rate. the worst part about it was how he continued those covid policies up until biden took office. it was a shitshow and trump was the host.

yep

and paksat is complaining about taxes... as if he doesn't know Trump's TCJA is still in place

The Republican tax bill got worse: now the top 1% gets 83% of the gains

So far, the Republican Party has banned abortion, books, history lessons, and Disney.

Yet they really, really, really hate Cancel Culture.

Leftists are simply better people than Conservatards and Libtards.

They're also more creative and actually want to solve the root causes of societal problems. On the other hand, Conservatards and Libtards are all about doing performative BS and applying band-aids (short-team solutions) instead of actually trying to tackle the root causes and implement long-term solutions.

This list is laughably absurd, in more ways than one. Most of the historical figures on this list would be disgusted by modern liberalism, and the idea that people like Bjork and Danny Devito are among the greatest humans of all time is peak comedy.

How exactly is Jesus left-wing when the modern left-wing rejects literally everything that Jesus taught, and scoffs at the idea that people should live their lives by his teachings or that he even existed in the first place?

According to MLK, privileged virtue-signaling whites (aka modern liberals) are the biggest obstacle to overcome in the black mans fight for equality... and I would love to see the fire and brimstone Malcolm X would have unleashed upon the degeneracy of modern libs and their obsession with things like drag queen story hour

Including Margaret Sanger on a list of greatest left wingers is beyond hilarious, considering what she thought about all minority people on this list of yours. If Sanger had achieved her dream, MLK and Malcolm X never would have existed.

The liberal brain at work - differences of opinion should be determined by the credentials of the people making the argument, rather than the validity of the argument itself

Libtards of ISH take note, if you want to attack Trump in a way that might actually influence his supporters, this is the angle you should be taking.

MLK was only half right. The two biggest obstacles to overcome in the black man's fight for equality are the horde of racist/fascist white supremacists who wish subjugate minorities forever and the horde of liberals who aren't as racist as the other horde (but who are still pretty racist) and who really aren't 100% committed towards helping minorities.

Both hordes are bad, but the first horde is worse because they are more insidious and discriminatory.

Liberalism is a good ideology. Conservatism, on the other hand, is terrible and regressive in nature.

I used to be a leftist but the problem is any type of extreme centralization eventually leads to extreme exploitation. Because greed eventually takes over. Once they have all the money... satisfaction dwindles from that... now they want all the power. And then the control kicks in.

What OP doesn't realize is that the people at the top see him as a dispensable pawn. He could get whacked... and they wouldn't blink an eye. In fact they might smile if it benefited the system or them financially in some way. But he's so dependant on the system that he would do ANYTHING for them to keep going.

Even though his existence is miserable, the survival instinct still persists. Like it does in all of life. So he's basically forced to suck on their teet and do as they say until his last day.

The ideas of socialism are very sound in a vacuum. Science works on paper, math works on paper, political theory... does not. Human behavior, psychology, is not something we understand. Not to mention, I'd go as far as to say a lot of the great geniuses were very naive.

There were mad scientists that were bout that life, but think of Einstein and the atom bomb. I'm sure he didn't want that. Not in the way it turned out. They just get used. I dunno if people really understand that socialism is just exploiting people to the max and dividing up the gains equally ahaha. And I think the people who are putting in that level of work, the Einstein level great people, are prepared to bear that burden, but it goes deeper than that.

It's hard to have over-arching thought when you are deeply immersed in an academic field. Hence, I think, the reason why academia is obsessed with socialism. School itself is not socialist, it's in fact elitist and competitive. But the people who get in those highest spots tend to have utopian ideas.

Let's face is, capitalism is savage. However, nature is also savage. Nature works. One thing that is 100% true is capitalism will always WORK, even if it ends up starving off portions of the population. That's why it makes the most sense to run a capitalistic society and then have safety nets, not just hand outs, but opportunities. You might get max exploited just the same, but at least you get to keep most of your gains.

Socialism should exist for the v v v poor. What they seem to be trying to do is raise the socialism 'bar,' but that's trapping people in. No human being should be without food, and it would be damn nice if they could have shelter, too, but some don't want shelter. Still, they need to be able to do their thing on some level. Things aren't so bad, really. Could be better, but on the scale we're talking about, the most minor change (like a decimal point) could throw everything off balance.

If you're on a computer online and you think that you want to be under the socialism bar, that your life will improve, you are wiggin' out. That's just A PERSONAL OPINION, but do da knowledge to that. It sucks that people are mega rich, but they are gonna be mega rich regardless. You aren't touching their wealth, nor anyone else who is above the bar.
