You're egging and reducing a website because it has leftists on it while the paragons of personal responsibility, efficient markets, and the banking system are having a meltdown and getting a bailout. Remind me again what government handouts and interventions are? I don't understand the point of a comment like "there are leftists that use this website".

I'll take occasional bank failures over communism any day. The death toll of the SVB meltdown is zero. Government handouts and interventions are social democracy, the system we all live in.

  We don't have social democracy for regular people, only the rich and corporations

GP said "tankies" not "leftists". For people from two-party-system country it may sounds same. But as someone born in Czechoslovakia, some of those linked posts gave me a pause.
