Sarah Jeong's Harvard lecture: "The Internet of Garbage"

Yes, that’s why I put the word in quotation marks. When I described this place as generally “liberal,” I mean the American sense of the term (which may not be a fair use of the “liberal” descriptor for bbs). Are you in the U.S.? The range of labels across the spectrum here is is very small compared to other places, perhaps in part because Republican and Democrat are so widely seen as the only two viable operative political parties. The “socialist” label for Sanders, for example, is a big smear for many Americans, even for many “liberals.”

Yeah, me too, which is why I describe the general tenor here as “liberal” (in the American sense), that is, further to the right that myself.

Really? Can you point to any particular posts that make you say so?

There may be a post or two on Corbyn, but I don’t remember it. Noam Chomsky, Amy Goodman (unless she’s interviewing someone else), Cornel West and such figures on the American further-left also seem pretty much ignored here.
