They’re doomed to not go very far. Americans are allergic to radicals. In Europe though, there could be problems.
It'll spread back over. The mainstream left is slowly getting the idea that the words their politicians spout are contrary to the policies they put forward. They've got an 'okay' moral compass, albeit one that just aligns with every around them, but most people aren't going to be persuaded into radical leftism with the Internet being available.
Islam is the real threat to the west, imo.
classical liberalism seems right wing because the window got shifted
If the progressive, left-wing movement is illiberal, then liberals are conservatives.
They are ready. Liberal isn't an antithetical definition to conservative
Mhm
Progressive is the opposite of conservative, and people will tell you they're both liberal. (But progs aren't, cause utilitarianism)
There’s going to be a shift soon, and the pendulum will change directions to the right, just as it went left in the 60’s, as a result of the liberals becoming conservatives due to perspective
Nah, that's not how it works anymore. Leftist philosophy is being destroyed before our eyes. We'll see a shift to politics more similar pre-WW2 dichotomies
(In my opinion)
Well, back in the 50’s and before, conservatism was deeply rooted everywhere, and being a lefty was counterculture and weird. Now, leftism is everywhere, and liberalism/conservatism is counterculture. But it is possible that the democrats/left go back to pre-WWII as they struggle to survive. Could even be a party flip flop, where the left tries to go back and the right moves forward. That’d be weird.
Anyway, good talking to ya, but I need some sleep. Adieu

Sweet
@Deleted User Ancaps are a subset of libertarians. Not all libertarians are ancaps.
@Deleted User is a commie
it's sort of expected that she'd conflate libertarians with ancaps
@Deleted User I think any average person would. It's not exactly a mainstream concept
that's because they're sheeple
No, it's because not everyone is a politics nerd like we are lol
He is actually right in this one
For real, when you take a step back from all this, you feel like you arw taking small stuff way too seriously

Take a month break of reading politics, and the world will seems perfect
That's why I understand people who don't see "the cultural war" or "the Muslim problem"
Even the problem with illegal migration
It's like the Man Behind the Curtain from wizard of oz
They are just uniformed about a subject
And since their lives are going without problems, they don't care
Which seems to be a bigger problem, if most people aren't taking into consideration externalities for their long term plans
@Fitzydog
Yeah
To understand the problems, and their implications
You have to actually look for it
Inform yourself about what's happening
And most people just don't do that
no wonder people can act so ignorant about a problem/issue
No, I'm not a communist.
I don't bother learning what anarcho-anything means, because I know the person identifying with it is a lunatic.
