The NFL season on Thursday night got off to a dismal start, and exposed the pernicious sentiments of many in America, when some fans jeered what the league described as “a moment of silence dedicated to the ongoing fight for equality in our country”.


LEFT VIEWPOINTS

  • There is no “acceptable” form of protest or “Black Lives” support that conservatives will support.
  • It will take incredible personal strength to stand up for BLM because the conservative resistance will always gaslight the cause.
  • At some point, people who are on the fence need to ask themselves which side of history they want to be on — the side fighting for racial equality or the side that accepts confederate flags and swastikas as part of their group?
  • The right will gaslight BLM and those who support them, by changing the narrative and calling them violent thugs. The following video shows who is really perpetuating the violence.

I am politically left by U.S. standards, although I'd be considered moderate in most European Countries. I believe in universal healthcare, a UBI, equal opportunity to education, and expanded democracy. I think the free market works best for most industries. However, I am convinced that some industries, such as healthcare and education, do not respond to market forces and should be publically funded. Additionally, I believe industries that damage and destroy the environment should be regulated. My views are my own, and they do not necessarily represent what other people on the left believe. In that sense, LeftViewpoint is "a" left viewpoint, not "the" left viewpoint.
