“Far left”. They have no idea.
Their heads would explode if they only knew how far left you can go
I'm pretty sure their heads would fall off neatly into a basket if they really found out how far left one can go.
I wouldn't call it neatly, there would be quite a mess but it would be quick.
no no, the mess is on the other side. it happens fast enough that not much mess gets on the head side. i assume.
Far enough to get your guns back, even!
This is what drives me mad. Not so long ago far left was doing some seriously crazy things (I am from Europe so I do remember). And these American mongoloids think far left is someone who just wants to exist.
I hate that I'm asking but what were the 'crazy things'?
Plane hijackings, bombings, kidnappings, assassinations, murders and generally doing shit that we haven't seen in quite a while (at least in Europe).
So yeah, calling anything in America or Europe "extreme left" these days is really an indication that person using those terms is a moron.
And in 2025, we have idiotic US "study" that considers mentally ill person that surrenders to police babbling nonsense as a "left wing terrorist attack".
Surreal.
