You believe in achieving a society that prioritizes social justice, equality, and radical systemic change, often through non-traditional or anti-establishment means.
The "Outsider Left" is a term used to describe a political ideology that is left-leaning but exists outside of the mainstream or established left-wing political parties or movements. This ideology is often characterized by its radical or revolutionary views, which can include anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism, and strong support for social justice, environmental sustainability, and workers' rights.
The history of the Outsider Left is complex and multifaceted, as it encompasses a wide range of movements, ideologies, and individuals across different countries and histori…

What emotional reactions do you experience when you see injustice, and how do they motivate your actions?
@9JKNXKB1yr1Y
I feel like I need to do something, and I usually do
@9JK4Z8H1yr1Y
I always make sure to stand up for others who are in a situation where its unfair. I mean it's their beliefs and everyone has a right to their own opinions. But we shouldn't judge someone for believing a certain way.
@9JK4YP9Republican1yr1Y
I feel upset and want to work towards providing justice, and it makes me want to reform the justice system.
@9JK4RYJ1yr1Y
It is disheartening. There needs to be more education in being decent.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you believe outsider movements can influence mainstream politics, or do they simply operate on the fringes without real power?
@9H3FC531yr1Y
There is some influence, but I couldn’t say if it’s significant or not
@9H3FC6Y1yr1Y
I believe they can, with the right resources and PR.
They can have real power but it is hard to get stuff moving
@9H9CQ6C1yr1Y
Yes they can influence mainstream politics. The mainstream media and social media do it constantly.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How has a sense of community influenced your view on social activism and change?
@9HTYS431yr1Y
Being in a community gave me a greater reason to be more caring of my members.
I am personally a part of multiple ethnic social groups and LGBTQ+ organizations and find when you have a community you can focus and many different issues. the best part of being a US citizen is being able to use your voice and be heard for the most part. Everyone has a different definition of social activism and everyone's opinion should be respected unless it is illegal or hurting another person.
@9HTYKT41yr1Y
Nobody has their own set of ideals or own thoughts anymore because everyone is influenced and you cannot form your own cognitive thoughts without those other thoughts being seeped into it and changing it.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can significant social change occur without challenging and changing the current economic system?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you personally define justice, and can society be truly just without radical changes?
@9H3BT78 1yr1Y
Justice is the punishment of those who have committed crimes. Rehabilitation should come along with justice to reduce repeat offenses. If we focus the government to support the greater good and humans along with giving the people more power, I believe that it is possible to have a decent society.
@9H2D7BG 1yr1Y
My definition of justice is the payment a person receives for their actions. No, society cannot be truly just without radical changes.
@9H3DBRN1yr1Y
Justice is acting with principalities and knowledge.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can a society have too much equality, and where do you draw the line?
@9H3DNC91yr1Y
Equality is a myth. Minorities seem underrepresented because they just have way less people.
@9H3DNFK1yr1Y
Yes, a society can definitely have too much equality. I would definitely draw the line at the complete elimination of opinion and uniqueness.
@9TTMDSPLibertarian7mos7MO
Absolutely
Harris is on record as saying that she believes in the equality of conditions as opposed to the equality of opportunity. She also stated that tax payers should pay for any perceived disadvantage of equality of conditions. No where in our constitution does it mention equality of condition.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What personal sacrifices do you think are necessary to bring about the societal changes advocated by the Outsider Left?
@9HF4WKX1yr1Y
I think there should be a lot education for new voters who are unsure what to do.
@9HDY2LVLibertarian1yr1Y
Seems like a radical anarchist group to me. Probably should not endorse them.
@9H9JQCD 1yr1Y
Loss of morals and increase of misanthropic bitterness.

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What does 'radical systemic change' mean to you, and why might it be necessary in today's society?
@9HCVYNT1yr1Y
It means reorganization of society’s institutions and foundations in order to eliminate inequity and create a free society for all.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
To what extent should we challenge established institutions in the fight for a more equitable world?
@9HDNH8GRepublican1yr1Y
better resources for teens struggling with mental health
@9HDMPYSRepublican1yr1Y
The outsider left is a group of anarchists who should be ignored.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you could lead a movement to change one thing in your local community, what would it be and why?
@9HP99FN1yr1Y
Change how self defense against a bully is handled in schools. Because someone who stands up for them self to a bully should not be punished for self defense.
@matthewware8271yr1Y
I would increase the quality of our education and raise teacher pay.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What would your ideal version of a fair and just society look like?
@9K98NCJ 1yr1Y
Education is extremely important in my eyes for society to function so it would have to start with adequate funding and resources across all the United States. That also applies to college and universities simply because this gives opportunity to others who don’t have the access to the money or resources. Also healthcare should be provided to everyone. There is many ways where a society can be “fair” but in all honesty there is a plethora of issues that can’t all be typed in this box.
@9K975Z21yr1Y
The ability to have access to the US and what it has to offer at the expense of labor.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways do you think consumer choices can be used as a form of political activism?
@9KWLHZL1yr1Y
Eat the rich and make there pockets feel the pain of the American public
Depending on what a business stands for more business or less could effect them
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What is one thing you admire about young activists today, and how do they inspire you?
@9L4SCXSIndependent1yr1Y
im inspired by the fact that such a large group of individuals are extending themselves out and taking a side opposed to the norm of the two party system and could possibly get the first independent into office since George Washington
@9L4SCVYRepublican1yr1Y
Not a lot...but I do admire the determination in them.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you think technological advances can best be harnessed to support radical societal transformations?
@9J6LRFLRepublican1yr1Y
I dont know how to answer this because i dont know much about it.
It help support radical societal transformation by promoting more ideology.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How important is it to maintain hope for radical change in a society that often resists it?
@AlexIndependent 1yr1Y
sometimes it only takes one person to inspire millions to vote and change the world
@9H9JQCD 1yr1Y
It is important to strive for a fair and free society, despite the opposition from the left.

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you challenge someone who argues that the current social order benefits the majority?
@9HF3NBC1yr1Y
The social order of things is meant to benefit the majority by nature of humans putting themselves first. It is unfortunate to not be in the majority here, but anyone who isn't in the majority shouldn't be stigmatized as they were in the past.
@9H9HQV7 1yr1Y
I would assume that person is a part of the "majority". The current social order benefits a few. Namely white, male, heterosexual, wealthy Americans.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's an example of a time when change seemed distant, yet something small sparked hope?
@9JK4H251yr1Y
My grandfather is a very conservative, republican man. He is not very open to the expanding ideologies about sexuality and is not very open to discussions about climate change. When my best friend came out to me as non-binary and asked me to refer to them as they/them, I was worried my grandfather would not be open to this change. Yet he understood what they were asking and respected their decision. My grandfather has made sure not to disrespect them, which is not something I expected from him.
@9JK424B1yr1Y
60% of Americans believe that the government should provide healthcare for its citizens, opinions are split among party lines with 85% of Democrats, including left-leaning independents, believing that healthcare is the government's responsibility and 68% of Republicans believing that it is not
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does caring for your mental health intersect with your activism for systemic change?
@9LFJ7BF1yr1Y
Your mental health should remain seperated from politics.
@meowfartfart 1yr1Y
At some point, you have to turn off the news and let your mind rest.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
If you could lead a movement to change one thing in your local community, what would it be and why?
I think that we should have better schools. This is because I am a student and it is the only thing I am even remotely qualified to talk about, as well as because I am an ignorant goober :)
@9TG8XS48mos8MO
I would lead a movement dedicated to educating the conservative Christian populous, showing them how limited their world view is based on their beliefs.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In your opinion, is direct action or grassroots organizing more powerful than voting in achieving lasting social change?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you could shape the education system to better prepare students for societal issues, what would you change?
@9HWV68JIndependent1yr1Y
I would move away from standardized testing, disentangle school funding from property taxes, and encourage students to become life-long learners.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways can art and creativity contribute to radical social change?
@9HX9VJR1yr1Y
This is a huge term and I need specific policies to gauge any activism. Generally, if people are supporting change peacefully them I am up for it.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How has a conversation with someone from a different background opened your eyes to the need for societal change?
@9HP9FWB1yr1Y
Helped me realize how justifiably scared the African American community is of the police.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can true equality exist within the framework of a capitalist society, or is an alternative system required?
@9H9JQCD 1yr1Y
Capitalism is the only ethical economic system because it's the only one not predicated on redistribution and expropriation. Consequently, it also creates more fairness than any command economy with equality as a goal.

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you could invent a new form of social organization, what fundamental principles would it have?
@9HP92NH 1yr1Y
Freedom of a choice, non-agression to others before it's self protection, minarchism, voluntary help to ones who suffer and providing this idea but with a "fishing rod" way, not just fish
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways do you feel your voice could contribute to a movement that you believe in?
@9HNZH5F1yr1Y
i could help people open there eyes and see thinks for how they are
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you could teleport to any historical event that shaped the ideology of social justice, where would you go?
@9LGG6FV1yr1Y
The days when slavery was fully taken away. I think those times people would have used some help
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would transforming our current economic practices impact your vision of a more equitable society?
@9JK53LC1yr1Y
The economy is currently in need of reforms with limit government intervention and allow the economy to naturally regulate itself through both its highs and lows.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What motivates you to keep learning about issues that may not directly affect you?
@9KVSSTK1yr1Y
bigger knowledge of what's going on in the real world.
