You realize your ideas that are also being suggested by most people here are radical, right? Radical left is a thing, and this place is overflowing with it.
It’s one thing to suggest doing something about the cuts, but most here don’t think that’s nearly enough, proposing literal theft and preventing movement outside the country. I would argue it’s just as insane here as it is in far right circles, just a different kind of insane.
That’s really indeterminate; and besides, the US has no right to judge what is and isn’t radical given it’s horrid history of of hatred, violence, greed, authoritarianism, and oppression.
I mean we are talking about a US issue, so yeah it does matter what the US thinks on US issues, and it really doesn’t matter what the rest of the world thinks.
There aren’t many countries out there who don’t have a history of that stuff, I don’t see why the issues of the past matter at all in this scenario.
History tells us the the US was most prosperous when taxes were at 90% for the wealthy and corporations than could ever possibly be under the current absurdly low or non-existent levels. Everybody knows this. Reagan eliminating those tax brackets was an utterly failed policy, and we have been paying out of our pockets to bail out their continual and repeating collapses every 7-10 years since then, with the first one happening on Reagan’s watch.
Nobody is actually suggesting income tax brackets here, they are suggesting taxing loans and taxing wealth. The things being suggested here have never been done, and yes they are radical because nobody had been crazy enough to implement these ideas ever in the whole history of the US.

Radical according to whom? By what standard? That of corporations, stockholders, and fascists?
Radical according to basically the whole country of the USA.

So then you understand that it isnt in fact “radical”
It is radical though, especially given the context.

The only radical here is you.
