It's sports team politics. This 'my side vs your side'

But we're all on the same side

We arent all on the same side though

communists call themselves liberal

Trying to live and make the country better. So just have open discussions

Some people want gulags

They arent exactly on my side

Most people want similar things but dont agree about how to get there

im not on the same side as stalinists

You can dosagree with people but still be civil

usually

lmao

Yes. But the minute the words left or right get involved it usually degrades to personal insults

Rather than helpful dialogue

because people moralize

There's a reason why politians spend more time campaigning about how bad the other guy is than about their own platform

Deadass tho, anyone wanna hop on siege?>

how dare you be against muh free market/immigration

You cant blame the words for people being retarded though lol

Its team mentality. I don't like that guy so I'll vote for this other guy I also dont really like because I think he's more likely to win

Labels are just a generally accurate way to understand what people believe

That's ass backwards

They are way too broad to mean anything

@Cortah if theres more than 2 labels, ye

The enemy of my enemy is slightly lesser of an enemy to me?

Most people fall somewhere in the middle

Which makes the label meaningless

Centrist

Done

Meaningless

Labeled

easy

when i call people stalinist its for a reason

All three mean nothing

Lets have an experiment

They tell me nothing about what you believe on anything lol

@Shattered Im a libertarian what does that mean i generally believe in?

Kk I'm gonna go cause I hate arguing about labels and definitions. Talk again when the convo gets interesting

Got it

@Cortah very free market, low tax, free speech and possibly open borders

how could you possibly know dod you read my mind?
