I am just explaining what I experienced... I had an freaking journey to end up where I am now.
Mark, the US left is turning away from liebralism - and it is not surprising that real liberals end up seeing republicans in a more favourable light IMO
WE can call ourselves libcons.
wood \o/
Independent Constitutionalist who is Atheist that leans right and supports the modern day Conservatives against the modern day Democrats/Far Left who became manipulating authoritarians.
I rather side with people who hate me as atheist but willing to defend my rights than people who love me as atheist but wants to take away my rights.
Basically that sums my stance at the moment, not to mention that Republicans are bringing back a prosperous United States under Trump which is definitely a huge plus in my book.
so just to be clear on this also - modern liberalism started with John Locke - who influenced USian revolutionaries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Locke
> His writings influenced Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers, as well as the American revolutionaries.
The US constitution is a modern liberal constitution - it is just that in US liberal is used to refer to ideologies which is left of actual liberalism
Mark, do you know Douglas Murray?
Conservatives today are more inline with old Liberal ideology than the fact liberals today.
No I do not know Douglas Murray.
In this political climate the right is definitely more tolerant. I think the modern concenses of what a conservative is is changing.
Reason I haven't comment on anything about it yet.
As an atheist I've never felt as threatened by evangelical Christians as I do by leftists.
Exactly Dev.
Mark, man you must watch it: https://youtu.be/WmvPfbfzX4U?t=7846
Conservatives are becoming more open and tolerant than the apparent "Tolerant" party aka Democrats.
I never thought there would be a day that I would agree with conservatives...
And respect the conservatives, life sure does surprise you.
I am an agnostic who would love to have anarchism but that's not practical. I just want a government that doesn't feel the need to tell me what to do,.
Evangelicals will just come at you with whatever argument they just learned by reading CS Lewis. They won't try to murder you with a bike lock.
thats the governments job
Yeah Anarchism is not practical, it is just a dream that will never become reality.
For Anarchism to work, you need to strip away everyone's individualism.
That's the irony Trump definitely says a lot of stupid things but he has been restricting government from messing with my life. Be that through deregulation and incompetence.
Can't say I didn't see that coming. There is a reason the term "The left eats its own" exist.
I really like Trump. I notice more and more Atheists are siding with Trump now.
Like me.
Wil believes in the progressive stack, there logic is that if you insult them you insult there identity. so when Wil blocked a troll he didn't do it because she was a dick. He did it because he hates women and trans people. This is what happens when you compete to be the most oppressed.
The far left are insane.. They have no principles or values or morals or standards or responsibility at all. Whenever they feel like they are loosing argument, are shown in bad light, or proven to be wrong... they immediately talk about campaigning against that law or the person or people's ability.
Hm, if they want to defend Pedophilia?
once again, he isnt banned from the entire website
just mastodon.cloud
there are thousands of others out there
Like if an disabled community decides to denounce the far left, they are immediately attacked and discriminated by the far left while the left campaigns to remove the rights of the disabled.
That is how the left are these days.
Some what pedos to be a stripe on the rainbow, https://www.reddit.com/r/TheNewRight/comments/93jczf/oooh_democrats_dont_support_pedophiliathey/
What is funny, I was shadow banned by twitter because I stand by the constitution and think everyone's rights should be protect regardless of political affiliation.
The left protecting and campaigning to normalize pedophilia is fucking sick.
