@cstross As an outsider who live far from US, may I ask question? If so, here it is: what is means "moderate centrist " in US? Is it like "moderate social-democrat" in EU?

@cstross Thing is, if we want to decarbonise (and thus live) we are going to have to take all their property away.
To get to a condition of general prosperity, same; you can have your lifetime's economic output, not anybody else's.
Most people are fine with that and recognize that improving your lot is collective; the more specialization and communities of practice, the more nice things from one life of effort.
Greedheads, well, they're kinda broken. Shouldn't let them break everything.

@koteisaev I'm not American, I'm describing Mamdani as a "moderate centrist" by *Scottish* standards (he'd be right at home in the SNP, as far as I can tell).

@graydon It's a personality disorder. Whether it's treatable or not, though, largely depends on enculturation and the surrounding society …

@cstross I know you can't get this thru to those blockheaded morons, but Socialism ≠ Communism.

@SteveJB It's all [generic bad words] over there. Anything they don't like is interchangable [generic bad words]. It's like swearing only for reactionary know-nothings.

@cstross
I’m sure Sadiq Khan can empathise.
Weirdly, former Calgary mayor Nahid Nenshi (also a progressive, left-leaning Muslim man) managed to evade most of the hate spewed at Khan and Mamdani.
