Fair, I understand these are hard to talk about without getting attacked. I'm legit curious, when I read your comment I couldn't think of a single "left" thing the government had done recently outside of covid relief payments or student loan stuff but that's not really enough to make for a historical trend

Depends on which governments you're talking about but here's some things I think are becoming more commonplace and are generally considered Left or Progressive policies

* Banning single use plastics * Investing in renewable energy * Running UBI trials * Carbon taxes * Investing in safe injection sites * Any number of pro-LGBTQ policies * High Immigration numbers / refugee support

Of course these vary regionally wildly, and in many places in the USA are actually being reversed instead of progressing.

But I think in many places outside of the USA these types of policies are become much more common

Good point I was implicitly fixating on USA. in the USA it feels like none of those things are happening outside of Portland and SF

edit: immigration is an interesting one. Leftists want it for a variety of reasons, and usually right-leaning uber-capitalists want it to lower wages

> right-leaning uber-capitalists want it to lower wages

Yes, but they will implement policies that are hostile to immigration as a result because they give too much power to employers.

Leftist is more "open the doors and let them in"
