This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Damn putting that zionist h3 crap under left is not giving me much hope of any actual left being represented in the blue.
H3 calls netanyahu a monster, but more importantly, Palestine vs Israel is not a left vs right conflict.
The reason this list is more right than left is because the criterias used are based on some arbitrary opinion or the amount of times someone has been called right leaning, rather than actual stances, otherwise some of these red circles would be blue. H3 is without a doubt left leaning.
Pretty sure anynone who is for universal basic income and free healthcare should be blue no matter what the other stances are, and I know some of these red ones are for these things.
Colonialism and genocide certainly are leftist issues.
H3 is piece of shit who defends the IDF bombing hospitals, denies reports of sexual abuses suffered by Palestinians, and spreads general zionist propaganda. Who gives a fuck what he thinks of Netanyahu, his position is clear.
No, he is against IDF bombing hospitals, he also doesn't deny sexual abuses suffered by Palestinians and he also doesn't spread Zionist propaganda. You've watched too much Hasan Piker (who did deny reports of sexual abuse during the Hamas attack by the way). Pretty sure all your points were cleared up during the debate between them.
Colonialism and genocide are bipartisan issues that is unanimously agreed on.
Yeah they definitely sound like your average Hasan viewer.
"Universal" here obviously not including Palestinians
I'm sure you didn't mean to sound like the following just now:
"How can you advocate for social welfare when there is a literal genocide going on?"
Correct, I didn't and don't.
I mean that's exactly what you sounded like.
So sick and tired of the Palestine bullshit being dragged into every conversation.
No, that's just you lazily strawmanning
Yeah, how dare people make a big deal about the modern Holocaust. Don't they know that non-westerners aren't really human?
I would actually like a clarification of what you meant, because to me it sounded like you think someone's stance in the Israel-Palestine conflict is many times more defining of left/right than even Universal basic income which is considered by many to be communism.
Well, for one thing, if you support Israel's genocide, you can't really also say you support universal income without torturing the definition of universal. For another: yes, I do think whether you support the modern holocaust is many times more definitional than where you think the government should give you UBI.
And finally, UBI is only considered to be communism by people who have no idea what communism is. No actual communist thinks that.
Did this box of yours get lost in shipping?
Oof, if you're going to resort to lazy personal attacks, you could at least make them good ones
