Yeah we’re far from perfect, but for better or worse we would be the smallest culture shock (it would kinda feel like moving to a new state).

Small correction: Bounce rate going UP is what you’re trying to achieve
I’m learning a new language right now and I find myself reflecting more and more about the strengths and weaknesses of English.
English is really good at a lot of things including humour and poetry. But it transforms overtime depending on region, culture, demographics, economics, marketing, and politics… which makes miscommunication happen ALL THE TIME.
I say this because you’re both right, and it’s frustrating because it limits our ability to have a meaningful conversation.
I hope it popularizes the idea of algorithmic control.
Canada (Ontario) here. Was taught explicitly to say “point three two”
I’m still glad they wrote the piece.
Every time we come up with a technical term to describe people with medical impairments to their intelligence, people begin using it as an insult.
I guess here’s hoping “intellectually disabled” doesn’t catch on (hopefully too wordy).
Well I don’t give passes to Nazis (and the world is a bigger place than just the US). I guess I’ll just vote in favour of policies that we both support, rally against policies and parties that we both hate, and continue to advocate for a more equitable world.
You might not call me an ally, but I’ll call you one. (at least based on our limited interaction)
You’re fighting me for some reason (a self described liberal), who also wants to move the world forward to build an equitable world. By your definition I might be a leftist, but I (and others) don’t identify with that label.
“self-identifying liberals as they exist in the world today”
The world is a big place. Not sure if you mean “liberal” in the US context, “Liberal” as in the Canadian political party. “Neo-liberal” as in Economic position of Friedman economics, etc…
Leftist is also a relative term and isn’t very useful. You likely believe in important structural reforms surrounding minimum wage (perhaps UBI), environmental protection, universal affordable/accessible healthcare, strict banking regulation, drastic progressive taxation, harsh penalties for white collar crime, etc… But “left” of what, I doubt youre pushing for authoritarianism or communism?
My point is there are literally Nazis we are fighting right now. Maybe stop with the infighting as a result of ambiguous labels.
In political terms, “liberal” typically refers to a political and moral philosophy based on ideas of liberty, consent of the governed, and equality before the law. However, the meaning of “liberal” varies somewhat depending on context and location.
In the United States, liberalism generally refers to:
In the broader international and historical context, liberalism is associated with:
Yeah, that’s not the definition of “liberal”
We need to stop using ambiguous terms like “leftist”. It’s way too broad and doesn’t help anyone. I identify as liberal (also too broad), and I likely believe in 90% of the policies you advocate for.
