    The Levellers were a political movement active during the English Civil War who were committed to popular sovereignty, extended suffrage, equality before the law and religious tolerance. The hallmark of Leveller thought was its populism, as shown by its emphasis on equal natural rights, and their practice of reaching the public through pamphlets, petitions and vocal appeals to the crowd.

    1. what the fuck why are we bringin up centuries old shit
    2. i bet these monsters have been using the same tired arguments since at least the original Levellers

    Is this right-wing?

    Well let’s see

    Secure borders

    Yes

    Safe & clean cities

    Dogwhistle for “murder the poor and homeless”, so yes

    Don’t bankrupt America with spending

    Says the #1 recipient of government subsidies

    Racism against any race is wrong

    Says the owner of a platform that he is using to signal boost antisemites

    No sterilization below the age of consent

    Just transphobic hogwash

    Verdict: i-am-adolf-hitler

      Plus the claim that any country could go bankrupt in their own currency is just wrong, it makes me so mad. That argument is used in western countries to stifle economic activity to depress wages and destroy the public infrastructure that people in general and poor people especially rely on.

      Imagine building social housing, better check the big safe in the White House for some dollar bills first. Oops sorry all out.

    The Levelers

    From the guys who want enormous automated killing machines to obliterate whole continents. Twain’s “Two Terrors” might as well be tattooed across their faces.
