"I'm as left as they come" in my experience usually means "all my friends are staunch Hitlerites, but i'm more into Strasserism."

"I'm as left as they come, but--"
But you're gonna Third Way right on through that, ain'tcha
So what if rent caps are authoritarian? Good. If "liberty" means an unlimited right to exploit people then who needs it
I refuse to discuss politics with anyone IRL unless they reveal their income level. Surprise, the 100k/yr seniored manager thinks the economy works fine on his machine! What am I ever going to get out of that conversation?
"Sorry, that's just not realistic"
That one is revealing to me. To me it seems they can't even push past the imaginary boundary in their own mind. To me, not even being able to imagine something different (let alone something better, even in the imaginary realm) shows how the material world has handcuffed their understanding. Good faith or bad faith it doesn't really matter, not being able to perceive the possibility of something different is so confidently stupid and morally bleak.
It's simultaneously infuriating, sad, and just kind of pathetic.
