MODERATORS
They don't even seem to be liberal, they've made posts criticising the dems for exactly the same reasons other leftists are.
It just seems like a leftist arguing with leftier leftists because the right wing doesn't appear to have any major presence on lemmy
You're mostly correct. PugJesus has stated that they are a leftist, but reject Dialectical Materialism, so they aren't a Marxist.
PugJesus has denounced pretty much every existing Leftist movement, such as the Black Panther Party, along Ultra-pure terms, but only treats liberalism with nuanced critique, so it's difficult to believe them to be a genuine leftist and not just a progressive liberal.
You know, generally speaking: a person being consistently and demonstrably anti-leftist just means they are anti-leftist. Until there's evidence to the contrary further analysis is a waste of time and energy.
Yep, I agree, just wanted to point out that they identify as a Leftist, even if they don't practice it.
Yeah fair enough. In layman's terms, I would say they were a leftist. Maybe not as educated as they should be, but the heart seems to be in the right place.
I totally get why they don't fit a more strict definition than mine though.
Thank you for the more in-depth research and information too
All that

Horseshoe theory.
Horseshoe theory is a thought terminating cliche.
