People are hypocrites. We don't solely act on our political beliefs
Marxist socialists are actually okay, but they have to keep true to what Marxism is which is primarily workers rights and economic classes
What the crazy lefties do today is arguably fascism by my definition
but that is how 1% of the population opresses the 99%. The 99% enforce the 1%s will
Great people can have really stupid political beliefs. Doesn't mean I wouldn't date them
Nope. Cannot be seen in public with someone who believes in the white male patriarchy
Lol
Fair enough
I'm with you as long as they don't push/carry out their beliefs via social actions
I could date a leftie but not a social justice warrior
same goes for the right
I've tried, just so you don't have to. It doesn't work.
It 'can' work. People can change beliefs eventually
Theoretically, of course.
I knew a guy who was dating a Labor party volunteer, they're like "oh we're the moderate lefties, you can be a white male around us if you prostrate and let our homosexual allies sexually harass you"
I mean theory and reality are very different.
O.o sexually harass?
Totally moderate guys, we only somewhat believe you should be a second class citizen incapable of equal protection
everyone has a mix of liberal and conservative values, even in regards to the same topic, that they mix to form their world view. But what is happening to the left today has nothing to do with said mix of values but rather a cult like behaivor of rabid animals acting as the useful idiots to the very people they are expendable to
Yeah, I went to her birthday party and got a lot of toes up and down my leg
Depends on how obnoxious both people are. If you're autistically bringing up politics every day, no shit it isn't going to work out, but if you can have those types of discussions without getting childish, it really shouldnt be a big deal
I dates an SJW, she broke up withme for being a bad person when I told her things like the wage gap were fake, I felt kind of bad for her, she was crazy about their ideas, like kept her hair super short because she was that afraid of rapists, and some other crazy stuff
I detest SJWs
If they're ideologically posessed, I'd say that would be the line
But every political position can be that way
right or left
mostly left
It's more common in the left today yea
but it can happen everywhere
true, but the probability is very low for the right
and extremely high for the left
The far right are surprisingly okay if you get over all the edgy shit they say if they're young or drunk
remember the idealogical spread chart tim posted?
Idk I'd be just as quick to turn down someone who's ideologically posessed on the right as I would the left
that the right has been stable, while the left is essentially freefalling toward communism
I suspect that's because the fringe beliefs of the left are much more easily rationalized as being about "fairness" and "compassion" than the fringe beliefs of the right
only the one side has been moving, it's been most of the left and they are completely unhinged
Fairness yes, compassion probably not
The Overton-window has shifted towrds the left. So, the center has become the "right".
even if the opposite is sometimes true
