We may not agree on how I rate people because I am writing them in context of the voters around me.
Well you are right.
A typical American thing, many of them have a faulty benchmark for rating since they only think about their own country.
This while the rest of the world mostly uses these terms accurately since they don’t have this narrow spectrum and they are well defined and universal.
Especially online that can lead to confusion.
Well usually when we’re talking about ‘democrats’ we’re talking about an American political party. And if we’re talking about American politics, i assume we are talking aout American politics, and assume their values. Not the French, or the Japanese. I like to learn about other peoples politics too, but thats not what we are discussing here.
Even when talking about Americans, the definitions don’t change.
Even if you do it among yourselves, using ‘left’ for what is only objectively ‘relatively left’ people will not even know what actual left is.
That’s getting Orwellian.
Hypothetically, if you’re from a extremely violent country except for the small area where you happen to live and you only see 4 people being shot in your street every day, would you think it’s accurate to call that a peaceful area?
