I am definitely viewed as far left in most online communities where I care to comment about politics, and I certainly haven't really needed to change my views for that to happen either.

It's algorithms on major social media, layers upon layers of AI bots, and a relatively small number of people with more money than the rest of us combined.

I can live with that.

Right is wrong
Left is correct

Far Left is very correct.

This is one of the hazards of basing your ideas on thought-out principles rather than tumbling whichever way the wind blows like a weed.

I prefer to use a simple visualisation because it saves me from having to explain a term that not everyone is familiar with.

Nowadays i'm called a radical brainwashed lefty, trying to supress other opinions.
Still i want a decent life for everybody, regard for truth and the law, and a high tax for super-rich people.
