#theright — Public Fediverse posts

Once again Benny is proving that he can dish it out but he cannot take it. Facts don’t care about feelings … until Ben Shapiro’s feelings are concerned. Why does the right seem to love hypocrisy so much?

Let's start with "#TheLeft" because thats the easy part.

It's called so for the seating order of the post-revolutionary parliament in France [ the ol headchoppers ]. As opposed to "#TheRight" which was (obviously) sitting on the other side.

As you can see, even the name doesn't make any sense but, like with so many other historical stuff, you can't get rid of that.

One cool thing about being part of the left is, that you have the inbuildt superpower of the moral high ground.

Above critique.

Note: It took nearly a full 24hours for the CBC to pick up on the #Democrat #Republican hashtag issue we were all experiencing and reporting on on Monday night. Nice work #Fediverse!!

"Social media users noticed searches for #Democrat, #DNC and other related terms like #TheLeft were not returning any results for at least several hours, while searches for terms like #Republican, #RNC and #TheRight yielded millions of posts.”

"Dann Downes, a professor of information and communication studies at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, says the hashtags being hidden on Meta platforms so soon after Trump's inauguration suggested it was no coincidence. "

Meta accused of pro-Trump bias after #Democrat hashtag blocked on Instagram

Meta is facing accusations of political bias after Democrat-related hashtags were hidden on its Instagram app following Donald Trump's presidential inauguration Monday. Social media users noticed searches for #Democrat, #DNC and other related terms like #TheLeft were not returning any results for at least several hours, while searches for terms like #Republican, #RNC and #TheRight yielded…

Running for the presidential primaries of the conservative party in 2021, Michel Barnier advocated the idea of freeing the country from the constraints of human rights, i.e. of ‘no longer being subject to the rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union or the European Court of Human Rights’.

The French newspaper of record ran the headline: ‘Michel Barnier, the man who “ticks all the boxes”’ in an article for subscribers (not me): https://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2021/10/23/election-presidentielle-2022-michel-barnier-l-ex-m-brexit-a-la-conquete-de-lr_6099639_823448.html @france

The Right™️ like to think of themselves as a culture of screaming warriors - fierce, strong, righteous and above all, loyal - but the SECOND they face the slightest actual consequences, they turn on each other without a second's hesitation.

Why anyone wants to be a part of such a pathetic demographic will never seize to baffle me 🤯

Across the country, openly carrying a gun in public is no longer just an exercise in self-defense — increasingly it is a soapbox for elevating one’s voice and, just as often, quieting someone else’s.

There's a lot of "playing the refs" done by #theright, screaming about #censorship and unfairness. So that the refs start making calls favoring them to shut them up (it never works) and in practice the calls begin favoring the right.

Former Vice President Mike #Pence tells CBS News that he's "closing the door" on testifying before the #Jan6 #committee. “#Congress has #noright to my #testimony,” he tells @margbrennan. Really? The #AmericanPeople #do #have #theright to #hear your #testimony

#TheRight #republicans #politics

I read an editorial the other day where the writer criticized the RIght's abuse of patriotism. I will share some of that editorial.

... was reminded of an episode of The Andy Griffith Show. What we have now in this country is groups of Gomer Pyles, running around Mayberry yelling “Citizen’s arrest, citizen’s arrest,” only now they have military-style zip-ties and rifles instead of crooked hats and goofy grins (although they may have those as well).

This #ACX post contains some very insightful interpretations and charts, and complements nicely my recent toot about #theLeft vs #theRight. #politics

Some highlights in a 🧵 thread:

When I was younger, I thought that the defining distinction between #theLeft and #theRight was solidarity — as in, the former necessarily has to have way more of it than the latter.

Gradually I came to realise that characterisation is problematic for three reasons:

1. #Leftists want to impose #solidarity, which is an oxymoron (by definition, you can’t mandate voluntary inclinations, such as affection or desire, on people).
2. In practice, and at least in my own country (#Spain), the Left has become pro-independence and sympathetic towards secessionists (but more solidarity would require larger unions, stronger federations — not the richest regions going their own way).
3. Sometimes the Right puts in practice more solidarity towards certain groups or causes (eg, non-elites, non-conformists, disadvantaged people who reject the orthodoxy) than the Left itself.

I now think that the ratio personal freedom vs economic freedom better categorises Left vs. Right (cf #NolanChart). I like to think of those two dimensions as “#freedom to do what you please with your body” (food, drugs, euthanasia, suicide, sex, read, speech, thought, association, religion) and “freedom to do what you please with your property” (save, invest, buy, sell, donate, build, trade, settle).

This is not a defence of #anarchism or #libertarianism, by the way — I do believe certain restrictions on both kinds of liberties are necessary for any society to function at all.
