I think it’s hilarious that conservatives think billionaires are left wing

liberals are basically left wing capitalists.. which still makes them right wing compared to true socialists

Conservatives lie a lot.

Or they think "capitalism is dead" because a tech CEO supports pride or something. These billionaires and capitalists may support socially liberal causes, that is far from making them left-wing radicals or communists.

Conservatives know very little about much of anything. They do believe hate speech and lies though.

We can laugh but it it kind of is a final victory for capitalism and for the right wing.

The understanding of politics that this comes from (the frame) is about the culture war and not economics or class power. It can only exist in a world where a capitalist world view is dominant, culturally and politically - to the point where its not even questioned. Liberal capitalism vrs Right wing capitalism. The values of the tech industry vrs the agenda of big oil. You can even see it from the donors to the two American parties.

Its seemingly ironic that the right conspiracy theorists use some language and analysis (unwittingly) taken from the radical left. 'The deep state,' 'globalism' etc. This is not good for the left though, it just shows that the populist resistance to neo liberalism has been colonised by a far right agenda.

So George Soros becomes the problem, not because he is a capitalist or because of a system producing economic inequality but because he is Jewish and has liberal politics.

It is kind funny that a lot of people think this way but it's also really bad.

It's safe to say that conservative groups/parties harbor some of the dumbest people

Billionaires are not left wing by definition, but why can't some billionaires be left wing?

Progressive politics are not determined by income levels. If they are, then every conservative caricature would be true. There's probably no reason why we anyone should be a Billionaire, but our tax laws make it possible.

Some even argue that their foundations are a better hedge against Trump-like administrations or bad government policies.

There are capitalist billionaires on the left and right, I looked it up.

Conservatives almost never actually make sense.
They deflect arguments but never answer them.

A left wing billionaire is like a king who is anti monarchy. It doesn't really work.

Mark Cuban, Jeff Bezos, Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg...the list is long. Democrats: The Party of the Mega-Rich. What did Biden do on Day 1? Destroy thousands of blue-collar union jobs.

Lot of conservatives are single issue voters, and a lot of those issues are social and not economic. Billionaires tend to be economically conservative, but many are socially liberal. So it's easy to point at a billionaire and scream "that guy supports abortion, what a leftist!" And a good lot of them will buy it.

On the same token, that's why we don't have a leftist party. The billionaires are all right wing economically so we wind up with a socially centrist to center left party and a socially right wing party. Economically we have a right wing party and a far right wing party.

At best you get social democratic rich people, but that's not really leftism at all, that's center left at best and centrist in most contexts.

It is both funny and sad.

So 'splain it to us
