Half of Europe would be considered “far left” from a US perspective. Affordable housing? Universal healthcare? Parental leave for long durations? Walkable cities and public transit? Try getting any of those to fly with the US neoliberals.

I’ve used a variant of melatonin for my online handle in various spaces, your name threw me off for a second. Was like, I’m pretty damn sure I’m not melatonin here.
My tongue is exactly the same with the “D” in “dentist” and “dog.”
Low draw means low power and penetration. For speed shooting or distracting/stunning a target, that would be helpful, but you’re not gonna kill someone unless it’s a very lucky shot. There’s a reason war bows were such high draw weight, and it wasn’t for piercing plate. More power means more energy retained over distance and more energy delivered to the target. If you’re needing to speed shoot in close quarters in a self defense scenario, you’re probably better off using the bow as a club or stabbing them with an arrow directly. Archers usually carried other weapons for that reason.
Perhaps that might be true of authoritarianism, but that doesn’t necessarily hold true for leftism in general. Democracy is not an antithesis of leftism, it’s the opposite, and there are many leftist principles in government in Europe. I wouldn’t go as far as to label any of them a true socialist state, but leftist policies have shown remarkable success.
