I understand that what I’m referring to as “left” is something that you don’t consider “left” because you’re left of that. I think this is semantics.
However I’m not sure how you’ve figured I’m far right since the only thing I’ve said is that I’m generally supportive of Elon, who is the most prominent businessman of the decade. “Far right” to me implies a fringe perspective, but I know that my views are shared by people from all walks of life, from tradesman to immigrants to high tech workers, men and women alike. This makes me think my views aren’t extreme.
I’ve lived in cities that do more of what you’re suggesting with the homeless and the incarcerated and I’ve only seen things get worse. I know self-proclaimed communists who live in safe cities and carry guns because they’re so paranoid. That sounds extreme to me. I’ve also lived in more socialist countries that provide for the poor so no one is homeless and it’s a terrible situation for anyone unfortunate enough to have to live in the community. They also have to strip citizens of freedoms in order to maintain order, which is unacceptable to me. Money and policy don’t go deep enough to solve these problems. For these reasons I don’t think the left that I’m describing or the left that you’re describing are going to lead us to a stronger future.
I hope you see that I have a reasoned perspective and I’m not invoking conspiracy theories. I always try to be balanced in my outlook.
