At that point their religion becomes more of a cultural identity than a religion, doesn't it?

MILF is a social construct.

I don't know the American left interprets the 2nd Amendment pretty interestingly, but I think most of them are still American... sort of. 😉

Yeah, not every little thing the government does is socialism. Socialism is the rejection of any form of capitalism.

They're the ultimate in crazies. Bernie Sanders for example isn't even really a socialist. He's a "social democrat" though he calls himself a Dem Socialist now which is like he's admitting he's more radical now?

Communism is supposed to come after socialism, but it's a fantasy that can never be achieved.

@Shurik spot on

It depends on if you accept the idea of the social contract or not.

I wish that there was some standard way people would discuss political ideologies. A standardized political spectrum to help people cut through the BS.
When you're discussing Islam and calling people "liberal or conservative" Muslims.

From the American perspective Conservative means to leave you the fuck alone, and Liberal means in your business. -- Whereas I'm fairly certain you guys mean the opposite when discussing Islam.

Classical Liberalism is a pretty conservative idea in the US.

Political Compass test is bogus, questions are awful though.

Lol

PoliticalCompass asks the same questions they've been asking since like 2006. No questions about "hate speech" and different things that would bring a SJW to their authoritarian point. So if you're an SJW and you take that test you're likely going to be in the bottom left.

Oh I know there are many, that's my point. It's the one thing I wish we all had a standard definition for in our heads. lol

I've done a ridiculous amount of reading on this subject. They aren't "my definitions" of those words. I'm talking about the general American public and how simple it is.
You cannot win. The Left will put classical liberals with fascists etc.

@Shurik That's pretty legit.

@Fitzydog Is there something you could link me to, to help? 😃 As I'm told you are the all-knowing.

Okay so to an American conservative, the ideology is good but the adjective is bad? lol

Because the Ideology of Liberalism is the basis for the founding of America, is it not? I mean the US founder's were liberals in that sense.

Personally I think Boris is wrong, I don't think they look like bank robbers, more like Beekeepers. Let's be accurate.

Honestly though, it's scary that this is even a story. Why should the police give a single damn about this? Let alone the Chief.
