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
It doesn't even have to be a far / fringe thing
ideological posession can happen a politically
I don't understand why the left continues to support socialism and communism when we have the example of Venezuela collapsing
it's a philosophical term
"that's not real socialism"
Their idea of fairness is heavily tainted by envy and believing anyone with any impressive traits is having it way too easy
@Borg Queen (DEDR1) I don't think bernie sanders ever retracted his praise of maduro.. anyone know if he did?
but yeah, socialism is cancer
people who support socialism are delusional
Real socialism is utopian, an unobtainable ideal.
Again, I'm fine with socialism provided it's purely economic
the progessive left praised maduro... and right now maduro is having his troops murder his own people
Let's keep it to command economies and high progressive income tax then we can talk
socialism is evil, as are those who support it
whatever edgy metaphor you want to use, yes, it's bad
20 confirmed dead at the hands of the police there under maduro's orders
high taxes are EVIL
..lol
Fascism is evil, as are those who support it. Socialism is just foolish.
anyone supporting a massive tax needs mental health action
*ideological posession intensifies*
so the police murdering hungry scared civilians on the street is the progessive liberal's idea of utopia (bernie sander's own words)?
socialism is evil, and I will fight against it, with my life if needed
not sure if trolling
Keeping the people starving and then hoarding all the food is a great way of keeping the people obedient
trolling?
we literally just finished talking about ideological posession and you're setting a good example of what that looks like
lol
Communism leads to the slaughter of innocents, just look at Stalin and Mao. I'd prefer to kill the communists first before they can do harm.
All this started because I disagreed with not Sean saying you should be able to date someone with opposing views. Normally, yes, but cultural "Marxists" are a big no.
Replace socialism with fascism and I wouldn't be able to tell you apart from sjws
