Or Dave rubin

2018-07-18 01:44:35 UTC  

Personally, I don't like all these labels.

2018-07-18 01:44:36 UTC  

You have a very idea of what lies where then me.

2018-07-18 01:44:46 UTC  

I think you have to endorse certain positions to place well.

2018-07-18 01:44:48 UTC  

Classical liberals are fairly firmly right leaning to me

2018-07-18 01:44:54 UTC  

Rather than take broad terms.

2018-07-18 01:45:05 UTC  

They're libertarian though

2018-07-18 01:45:10 UTC  

This is a problem with Left-Right

2018-07-18 01:45:11 UTC  

In no small part because the labels are fragmenting right now.

2018-07-18 01:45:16 UTC  

@pratel positions like social liberal aren't broad terms

2018-07-18 01:45:20 UTC  

The lean to the sides of social / classical liberal is so insignificant the difference doesn't really matter

2018-07-18 01:45:27 UTC  

The four way compass clears up some confusion, but its still really imperfect

2018-07-18 01:45:40 UTC  

8values is much better

2018-07-18 01:45:57 UTC  

Left-right in the political compass refer to economy

2018-07-18 01:46:01 UTC  

also do 8 values

2018-07-18 01:46:18 UTC  

Top down in the political compass refers to level of government control

2018-07-18 01:46:43 UTC  

Left right refers to economic values

2018-07-18 01:46:59 UTC  

I also think the left right divide is stupid and it should be libertarian / authoritarian but meh

2018-07-18 01:47:02 UTC  

That's the libertarian side, yes?

2018-07-18 01:47:02 UTC  

I'd view classical liberals on that right side circle

2018-07-18 01:47:12 UTC  

And positions like mine in the left circle

2018-07-18 01:47:25 UTC  

@Scarlet Sargon did the political compass recently

2018-07-18 01:47:31 UTC  

He was centre left

2018-07-18 01:47:55 UTC  

I remember sargons economic views being very traditionally right leaning

2018-07-18 01:48:03 UTC  

Honestly, it doesn't even matter.

2018-07-18 01:48:24 UTC  

Like, suppose you call yourself a faluhousa. It doesn't change a thing.

2018-07-18 01:48:32 UTC  

yeah thats part of why labels in general CAN be misleading

2018-07-18 01:48:33 UTC  

Labels are just labels.

2018-07-18 01:48:50 UTC  

But everyone fights over these labels as if there are clear distinctions.

2018-07-18 01:48:50 UTC  

Oh, labels do matter, pratel

2018-07-18 01:48:50 UTC  

Lol

2018-07-18 01:48:54 UTC  

im a homosexual, i really love my home 😄

2018-07-18 01:48:56 UTC  

Very much

2018-07-18 01:49:00 UTC  

They do, but it'd be nice if they mattered less

2018-07-18 01:49:19 UTC  

It can change anyone's approach to your arguments

2018-07-18 01:49:23 UTC  

Labels matter in coarse discourse

2018-07-18 01:49:32 UTC  

now that obama called out identity politics lets make a list of far lefties who will turn and start calling for civility

2018-07-18 01:49:35 UTC  

yeah a label doesnt dictate your feelings on a very specific issue

2018-07-18 01:49:37 UTC  

But it doesn't matter if you are actually going to take the time to figure out how someone thinks.

2018-07-18 01:49:39 UTC
