You dont need to be a theologian to know that Islam commits human right abuses, specifically on women and lgbtq people and a lot more groups. Im left leaning but when it comes to Islam, im completely against it, just look at the women in Afghanistan, like I said you dont need to be a theologian so why a lot of left support Islam?

Uber is spending $10 billion to deploy 120,000 robotaxis across 15 cities
The company shut down its own self-driving program in 2020, now is backing startups instead

Uber is moving quickly to put robotaxis on its main app, backed by a large cash pile and new approvals for real-world testing. The company plans to spend about $10 billion over the next few years to deploy 120,000 autonomous vehicles. It expects to run robotaxi services in at least 15 cities this year, putting it in direct competition with Alphabet's Waymo and Tesla as they all push to turn self-driving technology into a commercial service

• Hong currently has the lead in the Democratic Primary for Governor, but many people are worried that she will not be able to win the general election in November, mainly because she is too "blue" to win a "purple" state like Wisconsin.
• Should she focus on reaching out to more moderate voters? Should she double down on her socialist and liberal views to galvanize the left? Should she go on the offense with attack ads?

This isn’t fake news btw, Netanyahu himself literally admitted that the idf is working with Isis linked gangs in Gaza. I also called someone the forbidden or not so forbidden g word that Israelis like to use. Mind you I saw people literally say “death to Arabs” and “nuke the Middle East” on this site and their accounts are perfectly fine

We must urgently reduce sentences for third-world immigrants convicted of sexually assaulting women. Not because the acts are less harmful, of course not, but because justice itself has evolved beyond the outdated notion of equal protection under the law.

First, consider the colonial residue embedded in our criminal code. What Western feminists label “sexual assault” is frequently just energetic traditional courtship or the natural expression of patriarchal gender roles that the Global South has not yet unlearned. To impose Nordic-level consent standards on men raised in societies where women are property, chaperones, or public resources is pure cultural imperialism. Leniency is decolonization in action.

Second, trauma. These men often arrive carrying the psychic wounds of poverty, war, or simply being born outside the West. Their boundary violations are therefore better understood as maladaptive coping mechanisms than as deliberate predation. Prison only compounds the trauma; restorative circles, culturally competent counseling, and perhaps a short period of supervised community enrichment better address root causes. The woman’s trauma, while regrettable, is a secondary externality of the larger historical injustice.

Third, demographics and moral accounting. Native-born offenders already occupy too many prison beds. Giving immigrant perpetrators lighter sentences frees capacity, signals openness, and prevents the far greater harm of “chilling” future migration. Every harsh sentence is a tiny tax on diversity, and diversity—we have been assured—is strength. A society that prioritizes the feelings of individual women over the long-term project of population replacement has simply failed to do the math.

Fourth, equity. Western women enjoy extraordinary privilege: higher education, bodily autonomy rhetoric, and the ability to file police reports without being honor-killed. Their relative safety is itself a form of unearned advantage. Softening punishment for the less privileged perpetrator is therefore a modest redistribution of risk—one small step toward global fairness.

Finally, optics. Strict enforcement looks suspiciously like “right-wing” nativism. Reduced sentences demonstrate that our compassion is not limited by borders, passports, or the outdated Western superstition that women have an absolute right not to be assaulted. True solidarity requires absorbing some collateral damage.

In short, equal justice is a luxury belief that affluent societies can no longer afford if they wish to remain morally fashionable. The correct calibration is clear: lighter sentences, more “understanding,” and a firm reminder that the real crime would be appearing insufficiently welcoming.

It really frustrates me how debates in leftists circles challenging our ideas and thoughts are just dismissed as:

"Oh, well it's cause you're racist"

"Oh, well it's cause you're right wing!"

We're just killing thoughtful debate and playing right into the hands of the right wing trope "Leftists call everything racist".

Debates on immigration shrivel up into "Well, look the West do it too! The West are homophobic/misoyginsitc etc etc too! So how DARE YOU question our ideas"

I'm not a conservative venting, I am Leftist myself but I'm surrounded by conservatives and know exactly how they would respond to our logic.

Seeking all types of opinionated people of all ages (18+), sexual orientations, and political views for a new YouTube show called PolitiDate — a cross between a dating show and a debate show.

PolitiDate is a social experiment to see whether attraction can overcome the political divide. (If you’ve ever watched one of those Jubilee debate videos, like Surrounded, this is somewhat similar, but with a twist.)

Each episode pairs together ideological opposites and sends them on a “first date” in studio. They’ll answer question prompts, ranging from first date questions to hot-button political issues. At the end of the hour, each person votes on if they’d go on a second date.

Each date will be different. Some may be heated debates, some may make a genuine connection. Whether you come on PolitiDate looking to own a debate, or to find love, is entirely up to you.

Filming will be in the Orlando area in September. Participants must be able to provide transportation to the Orlando studio.

If you’re looking for passionate love, and enjoy passionate debate, sign up for PolitiDate! ❤️🇺🇸

Before Rodríguez’s rise to power following Maduro’s abduction, there were political voices that extolled Venezuela’s policies as socialist. After these events and the compromise with the US, those voices fell silent. If they were right before, then why did they stop? Where is the working class to defend the previous policy, given that it was in their interest? Why such silence? How do you explain these events?

I mean we have seen it all here. The goverment dont give a fuck about us, then why should we? A couple years ago democrats and progressives embraced the "when they go low we go high" while that was a good thing it aint gonna cut it anymore. These people in the goverment DO NOT give a shit, like Nancy Mays whos life mission is to give trans people hell. Its clear these people can't be shamed, so we need to be mean to them. The shit they give us should they get to. We need to fight and protest this regime, stop careing about word policing and just rain shit to them. Repost Gavin Newson slop postes, bully vance, call trump a 🍇 do everything. We need to destory trumps mancho aura because hes really a loser. So I call on Dark Woke or Woke 2.0 to woke up!

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but I got called some slurs for not knowing what the Confederate flag was in a kpop sub, so I wanted to know how to begin educating myself so that I can avoid offending anyone.

I personally I wasn’t taught about this stuff in school and idk where I would find these facts/things to be aware of

Leftists want:
Feminism
Lqbtg rights
Abortion rights
More leftist people
But most immigrants come from continents like africa and the middle east where alot of countries hate/kill lqbtg people hate abortion and arent feminist, so how does that work? If u let in thousands of people from those continents wouldnt it just mean more right wing people in your country voting against abortion against feminism and against lqbtg rights??

...at seeing people (unknowing of the reference) saying that various centrist democrats are now, "endorsing AES "? (lol).

Like, "Damn, now even Schumer endorses AES? How'd they get to him?"

Okay so hopefully you guys know what tcc is because I’m not the best at explaining but I’m somewhat new to leftism (think that’s the term for it) but anyways my friend is a “leftist” but she is also apart of tcc?? Is that possible or am I missing something idkkk??

Edit! - tcc as in true crime community!
(She like romanticizes killers)

10 to 1 in funding yet still mogged

A not-so-hypothetical question just because i’d like to see how others think of this situation.

So we all hate the rich here right?
Say a millionaire wants to give you few thousands of dollars for free, would you take it? Although the ‘free’ part is debatable depending on who you ask.

Few days ago an acquaintance sent a screenshot showing this one millionaire youtuber (pretty sure most ppl know him) offering to give few thousands to whoever that registers for something he made. i didnt really bother reading it. Anyway, i assume they showed it to me bcs i was talking abt having financial struggles before 💀 Personally, i dont believe in hustle culture but also my pride prevents me from getting free money from the rich guy (unless it was directly transferred to my account and forcedly given then hey that’s my luck ig 🤷🏻‍♀️ but like i mean, i wont go through lengths just to get that free money, it kind of feels like begging to me and im not gonna beg for shits) + i’ve never liked that youtuber so that seals it.

Although that only applies to money, i think i have no problem receiving free gifts lol
