Slight leftist or slight left?

2018-01-11 00:59:19 UTC  

nu age leftists dont like shit that's unbiased because it shows how stupid theyre being

2018-01-11 01:00:22 UTC  

Nu as in new? I only heard that as derogatary slang ala numales

2018-01-11 01:02:11 UTC  

Maybe not leftists. Liberals but not the SJW liberals.

2018-01-11 01:02:33 UTC  

Still, I knew him through PJW, so dunno how else most people here did. I assumed it was more that I wanted someone trying to find the trust.

2018-01-11 01:02:38 UTC  

Slightly left, progressive, liberal here

2018-01-11 01:02:45 UTC  

I'd vote Trump in a heartbeat.

2018-01-11 01:03:10 UTC  

I guess vote the person not the policy/party?

2018-01-11 01:03:27 UTC  

No, the democrats are neither left, progressive nor liberal

2018-01-11 01:03:33 UTC  

I found him through Reddit because of the Sweden thing. Watched every video since.

2018-01-11 01:03:35 UTC  

I mean even if I agreed with hillary I dont trust her character?

2018-01-11 01:03:42 UTC  

That too

2018-01-11 01:04:02 UTC  

Regressive left.

2018-01-11 01:04:33 UTC  

Makes sense that way to me. Id say there was a group that went obama, bernie, trump

2018-01-11 01:04:57 UTC  

Wasnt cause they democrat, socialist or republican.

2018-01-11 01:05:07 UTC  

Just that they wanted change.

2018-01-11 01:05:16 UTC  

I was one of those but always saw myself as republican.

2018-01-11 01:05:32 UTC  

I'm left-ish, as in, the wealthy in today's day and age are the nobles of yesteryear, and that means that as well as their privilege, they have duties. *Noblesse obliege* is the French term.

I'm progressive as in, the current status quo isn't the best, and change is needed.

I'm liberal as in, keep government the fuck out of my private life, it has nothing to do there.

2018-01-11 01:06:49 UTC  

Ill say, I just want smaller government, and more personal freedom, well as long as does not infringe on anothers.

2018-01-11 01:07:00 UTC  

I'm also borderline absolutist on gun rights.

2018-01-11 01:07:11 UTC  

Against immigration from the third world

2018-01-11 01:07:28 UTC  

You sure you left leaning?

2018-01-11 01:07:32 UTC  

More like centrist

2018-01-11 01:07:39 UTC  

I'm left-leaning economically.

2018-01-11 01:07:40 UTC  

Yeah you don’t sound left leaning.

2018-01-11 01:07:58 UTC  

I think the rich should be taxed, I also think there should be tax-funded healthcare...

2018-01-11 01:08:15 UTC  

Well that does makes sense, but I was always under the assumption that left/right was more than just economy

2018-01-11 01:08:17 UTC  

STEM should be tax-funded, outside of that you gotta pay your own college

2018-01-11 01:08:35 UTC  

Keep it to stem as well. So many non essential degrees.

2018-01-11 01:08:45 UTC  

But who gets to declare one non essential actually

2018-01-11 01:09:06 UTC  

They will be calling gender studies essential.

2018-01-11 01:09:39 UTC  

Gender studies isn't STEM, because it doesn't involve hard facts.

2018-01-11 01:09:41 UTC  

Ehh I guess I agree with Somi on that point, but no trust in the govt to know which ones to put tax dollars into

2018-01-11 01:09:47 UTC  

Basically that

2018-01-11 01:10:21 UTC  

I also believe in the tax funding of things like culture, but by that I mean, actual culture and not modern art.

2018-01-11 01:10:33 UTC  

Still that is subjective unfortunately.

2018-01-11 01:10:54 UTC  

Also things like at least government-majority-share, if not straight up nationalized public transport systems

2018-01-11 01:11:02 UTC  

And well, its not just the tax dollars, is the attention given to post modernist art by journalists and art critics.

2018-01-11 01:11:21 UTC  

I'm this weird as fuck combination of left and right ideals

2018-01-11 01:11:33 UTC  

People are different, what a shocker /s

2018-01-11 01:11:40 UTC  

People like Sargon have been going 'what should our name be as a movement'
