That clip always has the part cut out where they're all individually given a warning that if they don't move and let the police leave that they'll be sprayed
he was watering the flowers
First thought: Easy, catchy way to explain the difference between an authoritarian and a libertarian
Like they asked the people to move, and literally had an officer go to each of them one by one and made sure they understood that would happen
Authoritarians believe that Government should inform Culture. Libertarians believe Culture should inform Government.
I'll finish my thought tho
There's only one small group of people who call them liberals & that is certain right wing people who dislike the left in it's entirety to the point of trying to brand it all as the same blank slate
Are they right wing, though?
Yes
The left/right wing dichotomy is terribly outdated, and especially ill suited to the modern 'culture war' which is more between authoritarians, (small L) libertarians, and a small amount of authoritarians pretending to be libertarian
The only people I've seen calling them liberals is small amounts of a little over moderate right wingers
I don't think that they are. I think that on the Authoritarian/Libertarian scale, that's the value that matters more. A libertarian conservative is more likely to try to sway your opinions than impose them.
same with a libertarian progressive
They don't call themselves that
Of course not. the Progressive movement is a mess.
Think about that they don't even call themselves that
Also referred to as the Left.
Las vegas has severe thunderstorms with 70mph gusts
which is also used as a pejorative.
in our circles, anyway.
I don't think it is. Tim openly calls himself a progressive.
In a technical sense
It's one thing that leads me to this conclusion
These people are part of the left
We're not in a right winger's discord.
We're in a moderate one I believe
It is annoying though to have people who confuse the authoritarian left for being the whole left even if it is the currently culturally dominant part. Like they forget that many on the left are on their side despite them being on the right
Hear me out on this sched
It's ALMOST as annoying as confusing the entire right as the Alt-Right.
It is 102 F right now at 11pm in las vegas..
It's almost like your opposition's opinions don't really matter if they're villains.
I'd much rather some guy on the right say I'm a bad person because I'm slightly left leaning than have the media constantly decrying everyone who disagrees as alt right
Like they're both just as bad, and should be stopped, but one seems a lot more harmful to me
But someone who's on the right and libertarian isn't going to notice that you've got left leaning tendencies, or particularly care.
They might debate you, but they probably won't call you a bad person
ouch, sucks to live in vegas
Pretty .much
I'd say it's much less common
They are more interested in changing culture, not imposing their will.
