  • Your position is that America is “the greatest country possible” so the political spectrum used by the rest of the developed world is not relevant to us. We went through this exercise to illustrate that America actually doesn’t lead the world in anything except defense spending and mass shootings.

    So to bring it back full-circle, before you sent us down a tangent about your nationalism-

    The largest news organization in America, Fox News, is far-right. What you consider “far-left” is considered centrist to right-leaning in the rest of the developed world. America is not “so great” that we can’t consider these classifications because America doesn’t actually lead the world in anything other than death.







  • and we’re blessed with being the greatest country possible

    By what metric? Name one metric that US is number one in other than defense spending.

    you’re wrong to say my conclusions are not based on facts

    You cannot back up a single thing you say; all you offer are personal anecdotes. I guess your point would be that you’re not informed enough to know the difference? That doesn’t make you correct it makes you ignorant. And that’s fine, not everyone can be informed, just don’t pretend that you are.

    I’m cracking up that you’re now downvoting my comments after writing:

    I enjoy mutually respectful debate, but I find most others prefer to fearfully call me a “fascist,” downvote everything I’ve ever written, block me, and walk away feeling sanctimonious.

    Feeling sanctimonious, yet?

    Please continue dazzling me with you personal anecdotes from the butt-crack of America.



  • I have no idea about the rest of the world

    I believe it. What I’m saying is that from your insular experience you wouldn’t realize that what you consider “centrist” is actually “far-right”.

    In reality the largest news organization in America is “far-right” with some smaller extremist-right orgs. What you consider “leftist” is actually “centrist” by developed-nation standards. You can go on calling it what ever you like but it has no basis in reality outside of conservative echo chambers.
