"Omg living under the Nazis was horrible" - Invited all of Africa into their country immediately after the war
I don't see much point either in going Catholic when I'd instantly be at odds with the commie pope.
exactly
Me too.
I was moderate left by base assumption/integration with surrounding social groups, then got heavy into ancapism, then built it back up to Hayek level basically
But I kept the same base values
I was a bernie bro
then I found `economics`
It's just that I figured my current thought process wasn't the way to achieve that
So a Berniebro right up until Bernie sold out to the DNC for his third house?
Can't be Protestant like my ancestors who FOUGHT the Catholics for CENTURIES, because now all the denominations are run by faggot pedophiles.
The way I'd describe the experience was when Trump won, the curtains came down, and everything immediately sucked. Every leftist show sucked. Comedy sucked.
My immediate family was never especially religious and but my neighbours were. No idea what denomination. Just incredibly nice people. Wasn't for me though
Welcome to The Suck.
Oh you didnt watch it slide into shit?
I can't even be an evangelical because they're such crazy hard-core Zionists.
Was always Libertarian until I realized I hate most Libertarians. "Muh roads. Muh Open Borders." Fucking retards.
@Chet Nick y u BoOlIN mEH
Yeah, I used to like Caplan, but I can't accept a libertarian reason for open borders.
You leave muh roads out of this you monster!
Open Borders is a rejection of property rights.
Also the Open Borders argument makes more sense once you have the system in question
Because then people who own land determine who crosses it, and there's no gibs
It doesnt make *any* sense **now**
I was more or less libertarian until my Trump-inspired turn toward protectionism in 2015.
It's also silly to suggest that libertarian must = open borders, since border protection is a base value of the state
If you don't have borders, you don't have a nation.
open borders benefit corportations.
corporations*
that's a coming from the left opinion
If you rely on individual property owners to "do the right thing", ditto.
but I think it's a good sell point for the other side
Oh open borders as a lefty position is so hilariously contradictory
Open borders is globalism is a lefty position.
endless cheap labor, no need to make building a family affordable in any regard here
just import more people
>per capita emissions in the west are high
>automation and labour flooding hurt the poor
>let's let more people in
It's contradictory
If you believe in economic growth above those things that makes more sense
the smarter leftist point would probably be something like emissions are outsourced to china
