The only good Liberalism was back in the French Revolution.

"lf the attribute of popular government in peace is virtue, the attribute of popular government in revolution is at one and the same time virtue and terror, virtue without which terror is fatal, terror without which virtue is murderous. The terror is nothing but justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is thus an emanation of virtue."
-Robespierre

Hillary is a bourgeois politician. Were you expecting consistency?

2018-05-19 23:49:09 UTC  

No different than Trump.

You do realize it doesn't make a difference right?

This entire survey is based on Liberal misconceptions about how things work.

2018-05-20 03:04:37 UTC  

They are literally the same thing.

You also can't identify as a Capitalist lol.

2018-05-20 03:05:54 UTC  

A Capitalist isn't a political identity, it's a social and economic relation and status.

2018-05-20 03:09:39 UTC  

This test is political ignorance put on a fucking website and sold off.

2018-05-20 03:13:05 UTC  

It was very obviously a quick google survey drawn up by the person who posted it, not a deep political analysis.

2018-05-20 03:14:17 UTC  

A quick survey drawn up can at least have *some* basic sense with it.

2018-05-20 03:15:28 UTC  

I'm fairly certain most people here are comfortably under 18 so I wouldn't expect too much

I just made this poll in a few minutes with far better sense than whatever that was. It's still low-level and amateur but at least it isn't *that* mess.

Congrats

Pro-Choice? Disgusting

Don't even understand the concept. And if you are pro-choice then by the lack of value you put on life you are obligated to opt for the death penalty. Otherwise you are inconsistent.

that's a jump in logic tbh please explain that step by step

2018-05-20 08:57:08 UTC  

Uhm?

2018-05-20 08:57:09 UTC  

No

2018-05-20 08:57:19 UTC  

It is following the same logic

2018-05-20 08:57:36 UTC  

Except nearly all pro-choice advocates believe that a fetus isnt a human life so it isnt inconsistent with their worldview.

no i'm being honest
if you're pro choice then you must support the death penalty doesn't immediately sound like a logical follow-through.

2018-05-20 08:58:03 UTC  

If you don't care enough about life to be ok with abortion you should want the death penalty

2018-05-20 08:58:12 UTC  

It is the only logical follow through

there are other reasons to not support the death penalty for example if you give it to a suicide bomber then it doesn't make logical sense because they would've wanted to die anyways, giving the suicide bomber life in prison in this case is actually more of a punishment as they are humiliated by their failure to carry out their martyrdom.

2018-05-20 08:59:36 UTC  

?

death penalty can actually be less cruel then life in prison depending on context.

2018-05-20 09:00:52 UTC  

That is the point! punishment for crimes are NOT meant to be cruel. They are penalties for the criminal and a reason not to do it for those considering crime!

2018-05-20 09:01:15 UTC  

Making punishments cruel is sadistic and unecessary

2018-05-20 09:01:39 UTC  

...im pretty sure thats illegal too

2018-05-20 09:01:46 UTC  

and it has been banned

2018-05-20 09:01:51 UTC
