I mean not having reductionist straw man shitholes like PCM is one thing but setting out to create a space with the express purpose of being an echo chamber is pushing it
There’s a diversity of ideas in spaces that could be described as libleft, and they often don’t work together.
Right libertarians centralize societal power in the hands of the rich, which doesn’t sound like freedom or liberty from authority to me. They’ll still fund cops to break your face if you threaten their property as much as a government protecting a state. “Existing socialist states” are fairly capitalistic and don’t allow people to oppose the ruling class. Doesn’t sound very liberating for workers to me.
The whole grid is fucked, as the constructs don’t have a universal meaning for the creators of it to capture in the questions that determine your score. Last time I took it, some of the questions basically marked me as being right wing or authoritarian for answering a question from a more socialist lens. The questions aren’t worded unambiguously, sometimes I strongly disagree with all options, and it assumes a level of ignorance from those taking the test. I don’t trust my government, but I want unaccountable capitalists to be squished by democratic systems.
I’d prefer just not having PCM. at all. flairs or not
I mean ditto but like
Acceptable PCM would only have a libleft flair.
Change my mind.
