I think his comment is reading way way too much into it. The comic is basically saying that “left” is willing to question authority, while “right” takes it as gospel and asks for more.
There’s also the claim that criticising weath disparity while living in a very weath-centric system is somehow an endorsement of that weath-centric system.
Guy seems to just want to dump on the idea of left, so I’ll leave a downvote and let him dump in peace.
Thanks for taking the time to break that down for me. I will just go ahead and attack my own reading comprehension–i never would have deduced that from their comment, no way.
Could it also have something to do with the fact that nowadays what’s called “the right” in the US are extremists and what’s called “the left” are center-right/right wing?

You criticise wealth disparity, yet live in a capitalist society. Curious. I am very intelligent.

Maybe. Seeing some of the follow up commonts, it feels more like a no true scotsman fallacy.
“You can’t be left without being extreme left” “the left doesn’t do moderate left things!” “Thinking about money proves you aren’t left!”
As if wanting anything less than a money-free socialist utopia yesterday isn’t left enough.
Ive made the same errors as @saltesc@lemmy.world before and probably worse. For me it came from a depressed headspace and bad mindset.
