I mean seriously? It has gotten to the point people classify films as left or right wing propaganda if they bother to take any kind of stand whether it is political or not.
If anyone mentions laudable attributes like self sufficiency or taking responsibility for your choices well those are clearly right wing propaganda talking points.
If someone mentions helping others who are needy or self sacrifice well obviously those are left wing propaganda catch phrases.
:smack:
Jesus christ on a cracker, if you view the world through this bizarre lens everything is political, everything is propaganda. Could it be that things aren’t left or right wing, could they simply be positive things independent of politics?
At this point the right wing will be degenerate into Unibombers shooting at people trying to freeload on the oxygen the plants on their property produced, while the left wingers are waiting for the government wiper to come clean their crusty butthole. When you keep going more and more extreme you produce nutty extremists!
EDIT: You want a real world example? That horrible book Atlas Shrugged, when I was a teenager it was a book your teacher might tell you had an interesting viewpoint. Most of the people I know who called it a fav in their teens were the artsy fartsy crowd who would probably be called left wing today. It was a stupid book making a stupid point, like a million others.
Now it is the fucking Bible of god Rand, right wing wank material, the source of controversy and friction. Get the fuck over it!
Not quite everything. For fleeting moments of time, some things are bi-partisan. But it it is a system of binary classification. Everything must belong to either the left-wing, or the right-wing. Of course, no one is required to believe that system of classification is anything but a setup in a major con game.
Meh. It just clues you in to who the morons are. Right winger goes on a rant, I try to speak up for the truth, I get slammed as a left wing socialist communist marxist wingnut. Left winger does the same and I speak up, I get called a conservative fascist blah blah blah.
Unfortunately, most of it is done by the right wing these days. They have thrown away the concept of dialog in favor of insulting those who disagree with them. So naturally, if you disagree with them, you have to be slandered as an extreme lefty in order to attempt to discredit you.
