Sorry, someone already “owns” that land. Your home is prison now.

303 natives were convicted and sentenced to death following the Dakota War of 1862. Lincoln actually commuted the sentences of 264 of those natives, allowing the convictions to stand only for those he believed personally engaged in the murder of innocent women and children.

Therefore, the last one is deliberately and intentionally misleading.

That article literally equates liberalism and leftism. Those are different, distinct things.

You know, it’s almost like the authors are just carrying that right-wing propaganda instead of checking the actual definitions of the terms they’re using…

Authoritarianism is right wing.

There is no “left wing authoritarianism”. If there is authoritarianism then it is right wing.

Yes, even that country. That one, too. And that one. Now you’re starting to get it.

Rightists love to use leftist labels whenever it suits their purposes. It’s called “propaganda”.

You give them far, far too much credit.

Unless they came out of 15-year coma just in time for the election and voted purely on name recognition, they knew exactly what they were voting for, and why.

China is right wing. In the extreme. They have centralized authority with strong top-down hierarchies. There is nothing leftist about them in the least.

There is no such thing. It’s just fascism. That they try to call themselves leftist makes no difference to the objective facts or fundamental definitions of the political spectrum.

It’s like when rightists try to claim they are all about freedom, while advocating for fascist policies. If you advocate for fascist policies, you are right wing and a fascist. The labels you are attempting to appropriate are inconsequential.
