Let's be honest, both Hoggs and Ingram are completely unlikable characters.

Why do you hate women?

Your parodies of leftists would be funny if they actually made sense.

He sounds just like Hillary Clinton in most of her post loss interviews.

Oh, so he's supposed to be a parody of liberals then?

Well, liberals are leftists.

I'd say it's more accurate to call them centrists.

Center left, sure, but going further to the left doesn't mute his point, it only amplifies it. Progressives are more extreme than Hillary.

Progressives are also centre-left though.



Part of the puzzle here is that the top executives of all these companies are coming from younger generations, they simply have a world view more in line with what the rest fo the world sees as sensible. I mean I don't the think the CEOs and higher ups from twenty years ago would put their support behind this young man.

Good changes!

The word *sheeple* comes to mind (not just on the Hogg front, but the news woman too). Followers indeed.

I'm fully convinced at this point that social media has contributed more negative than positive and has caused humanity to actually DEvolve in some ways intellectually at least..

From Plato's students, to Christ's disciples, to the Spanish Inquisition, to Hitler's Nazis and Lenin's workers, to football fans, and to Apple fanboys when had humanity not been about following in some way an idea and/or a person embodying it?

I gagged a little. What's left-wing about liberalism? Especially in its contemporary form of neoliberal economics, there is nothing left-wing about it.

 

Liberalism in its original form is an enlightenment movement, itself a derivation of capitalist and prior utilitarian and merchantilist ideas. It predates the ideological divide of left and right, which is why you can be a liberal on both ends of the spectrum, and none (eg libertarian anarchism).

 

Hard-right is more ideologically compatible with liberalism than hard-left, by the way (at least at the level of economic policy and ideology, not human rights). Hard-left politics typically infringe on individual (economic) liberty, such as state socialism (aka communism).
