I'm very left wing and I hate the ACAB slogan.
I’ve never heard a progressive, liberal or democrat call themselves “left wing” before
Thanks for expanding my world view!
I'm not American so labels like democrat and liberal mean nothing to me. Consequently I have no idea what you're trying to insinuate
It was a legitimate thanks for being you
I'm sorry - I'm a bit dense sometimes when it comes to interpreting comments on the net.
Follow up question: is left wing a loaded term in US politics? It doesn't seem to me that US conservatives mind being called right wing?
No need to apologize haha
And I don’t think so, it’s just another word for progressive or any other number of synonymous words which equate to “we want to push society out of stale behaviors and encourage constant reevaluation and adjustment.
Some people just can’t handle that sort of thing for one reason or another
