Supporting genocide is right-wing, "reaching across the isle" to republicans is right wing. Failing to defend people from republican policy is right wing. Listening to corporate needs before the general public is right-wing. Failing to enact leftist policy is right-wing. Sacrificing millions of people to a disease because you're scared people will like welfare is right-wing. Hating communist countries and sanctioning them is right-wing. Filling your party with landlords is right-wing. Being buddies with war criminals like Bush JR just because he doesn't like Trump is right-wing. And defending literal Nazis? Yeah, I shouldn't have to tell you that's right-wing.

If you support the Democrats you are not a leftist, you are not progressive, you are Trump with a blue coat of paint.

You are 100% correct, the corporate party that owns and operates the U.S. only has two right wings.

War is the USA's only growth industry.

The USA obviously does not recognize the Geneva Convention any more than they recognize the Genocide Convention or any other international law.

Nothing shows real commitment to fighting climate change like blocking affordable electric vehicles and solar panels, while still subsidizing fossil fuel industries.

I can't claim to know what "reality" is, but my preferred epistemology is that whatever comes out of the U.S./Western governments and their lapdog corporate media is most likely the exact opposite of "reality".

Whooshing rocket noise in space, people outrunning explosions, "hero"'s every shot a kill while "baddies" hit nothing.

The Houthis are just fulfilling their international obligation:

The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), or the Genocide Convention, is an international treaty that criminalizes genocide and obligates state parties to pursue the enforcement of its prohibition.

Whatever Orwell intended, I doubt very much that he intended 1984 to become the training manual it has become today.

The monarchy is institutionalized parasitism, it should have gone extinct when the middle ages ended.

"Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest."

In real life you have to learn to chose your battles. Adhering to every one of these instructions will eventually end every relationship you have. Work, personal life, all of it cannot withstand the criticism it deserves and you will be seen as the shithead if you persist. Been there, done that, and it sucks.
