- ufmace 9y agoYou're right. The Right doesn't control massive swaths of the economy and fire and blacklist anyone who disagrees with them on any point of their platform. The Left does.
- and0 9y agoRight = capitalism. The right definitely controls the vast majority of capitol. You're delusional if you think otherwise. Most educated people (who aren't massively insecure) see gender equality as a progressive goal and moral good. Most educated people are socially progressive, even if they are capitalists and have very libertarian economic leanings. Silicon Valley is the biggest example of this dynamic, that I know of. Posting creepy memos about how one gender is biologically unsuited to write boring software is dumb and the guy was basically asking to be fired. It's good and hilarious that he is now dead.
