People keep saying "American Democrats are still super right wing", but they only do so just to put forth an anti-American opinion

thats why liberals value freedom

Yet will otherwise support the Democrat party as though they're super left wing

libertarians

for instance

are liberal tempermented people

with right wing ideas

which is why they literally dont get along with republicans well

look at people like tucker carlson/paul joseph watson

libertarians are fueled by empathy?

classically liberal temperment

with conservative ideas

but they are distinctly different in personality to their counterparts

People who are slightly conservative are hated more than people who are generally/extremely conservative

yeah and justice

i mean

freedom

Simply because people who are more conservative are easier targets.

It sucks because theres been encroachment of progressivism into my friend group as of late

is the opposite of tyranny

@Kyle Judkins Sorry to burst your bubble but those are the same

people high in emapthy dont like seeing people hurt/oppressed/starving ect

If you ask me, there doesn't exist an Alex Jones within the left

i dont get how you categorize liberals with libertarians

The question is how do you stop progressivism from spreading too far?

since they see the government as a tool for oppression more often than not, its a matter of justice and fairness too

what is the same/

Because at this point its become co-opted into something it was never meant to be

I mean you have Michael Moore/Keith Olbermann/That guy who runs the WeKilledTheMammoth blog/etc.

libertarians dont give a shit about traditions, or purity. and obviously hate authority

But they aren't really Alex Jones-esque as it is they're just the biggest straws to grasp when looking for an Alex Jones within the left.

thats actually what makes them radically different than republicna

lol

ohh he's saying paul joseph watson and tucker arent hte same

not the same quality

but in a lot of ways, they appeal to the same temperment

Meanwhile, the only difference between John Olliver and Stephen Colbert is that one has bad teeth and the other doesn't

PJW just cranks up the outrage and is silly

So, with women increasing in numbers in office, is the US going the way of Sweden?

And one has a British accent and the other doesn't

i think colbert is more on the conservative spectrum morally
