      Maybe it’s just the .world folks but yeah somehow “leftist” on this site has come to mean “left of the American center”…

      In the USA the republicans simply are such morons currently that anything reasonable appears to be leftist.

      I’m center-right in Austria but US-americans would call me a woke communist (and in many regards I’m more leftist than the democrats).

      All it takes to be a leftist these days is to not go out of your way every day to be a raging cunt.
