Aug 22, 2020 I can only speak for the UK, but Enigma would definitely be considered super radical far left here. Labour, our biggest left wing political party, ran their last election on their most openly progressive platform ever, and there was mass outcry like socialism was some dangerous new idea that had never been heard of until Corbyn stepped up.
Aug 22, 2020 The thing is here anything remotely conservatist will be seen as right wing lol even when you have your views on economics on the left side of the spectrum.
Aug 22, 2020 Yeah I mean "Europe" isn't really much of a distinction cuz it's not a single country like the USA lol. I assumed he was talking about how stuff like socialized healthcare is "normal" in many parts of Europe but seen as super leftwing idea here. And how a lot of our more "traditional" democratic/leftwing candidates appeal to the center more than the far left.
Aug 22, 2020 Yeah, with that I agree 100%. As for healthcare stuff I'm on the fence tbh seeing how ineffective is socialized healthcare here (long waiting lines - sometimes you need to wait for years to get something done and some people don't have that much time since their life is at risk, etc.). Also for some rare conditons you don't have a choice and you need to go to USA and pay some large sum of money to get the needed treatment, since they are not able to treat that stuff here. I have family members working in public healthcare so the subject is even closer to me. I would probably search for some hybrid solution if I could.
Aug 22, 2020 No one honest and well-meaning will become the president here ever not gonna happen. This country is too corrupt. Also president here doesn't have any real power granted by our law.
Aug 22, 2020 Old generation is easily manipulated, because of living most of their lifes under communist rule and don't really get how stuff is manipulated. They also don't get the Internet nor who really owns all of the media here. Some people do, but there is not much of them. As for people waking up: they are all too occupied by infighting and normal people are too occupied with working and their daily life to get it.
Aug 22, 2020 Ben Shapiro went on a conservative British news outlet and called their equivalent of Tucker Carlson a libtard for asking him to elaborate on American pro-life sentiments. Ben Shapiro is considered an intellectual moderate in many US circles
Aug 22, 2020 typical show content outage over being CANCELLED by “the left” I suppose tucker is so hyperbolic u can’t rly compare anyone to him but I suppose I meant a grassroots conservative talking head w a cult like following
Aug 22, 2020 Thanks 4 all the answers but I'm gonna give some examples of what I mean and I'm curious what 'side' I belong to US standards
Aug 22, 2020 Oh then I can see it. I wasn't familiar with the guy since I don't follow UK that closely. I only knew BBC is like CNN of UK I didn't know about that show being on there.
Aug 22, 2020 yeah i get that, id say bbc is more center left then anything but yeah homeboy was decently to the right despite questioning American conservatism, and that was enough to be labeled far left by a voice of “logic and reason” in America
Aug 22, 2020 Yeah, might be. I didn't watch the video. I'm pretty pro-life though. As for Shapiro I don't like him cause of his views on economy (GDP being the only thing that matters), him being zionist and praising capitalism despite its flaws. The alternative is worse, but capitalism isn't ideal especially in its current form.
Aug 22, 2020 BBC ain't left wing, they s----d Boris off through the whole election cycle and haven't stopped since
