capitalism is bad, but religion is worse - it's the thing at the top of the list of undesirable social characteristics, that need to be wiped out. and, there's nothing "alt" about that, that's the traditional fucking anarcho-communist left.
progressives have been confusing from the start, and i don't like them, and i never did.
but, i understand i have to deal with them - even as i viciously attack them, without any sort of remorse.
so, don't ever expect me to be your friend - i don't want to be your friend. but, expect me to consistently align where the traditional left always has, whether progressives happen to overlap with it or nor. and, expect me to try to push progressives out of the left and back onto the right, where they belong, on most issues.
even when i'm talking about "progressive democrats" or "new democrats" in canada, i still think 90% of what you say is too right-wing.
