I lost too many "friends" on Facebook: I knew these people for many years, but I was shocked what they posted - from stupid to incredible things, mostly politics and mostly far left. I started cutting all these people and I was left with less than 20 when I closed my account.

I am kinda curious, what far left things you hear on Facebook? I can't remember every meeting anybody of that political ideology in the US, it would be such a taboo. The most liberal person I can think of is basically a centrist, almost everyone else I've met is center-right.

I am in Europe, not in US. For example, we have a center-right party that wants to abolish private property. Far enough? For me, yes.
