Tim claims to still be on the left.
tim is losing faith :v
By sane standards, he still is, and so are most of us.
I don't believe Tim is on the left
in every video i feed on his suffering
His videos are constantly "The left is losing", "Why the right is winning" etc
Constantly
But, I don't like the left/right dichotomy very much anyway. I think most people would be hard pressed to define who would be center and what is left or right.
he just want sane left that cares about the poor
not 1/1024 indians :3
he's losing faith as am I
In particular, considering the origin of those terms, it referred to the general alignment during the French Revolution, in terms of who was on the side of monarchy and who was not.
the labels are useless
atheists conservatives 👌🏿
I think a better distinction nowadays is a dichotomy between moralizing busy body and libertarian.
Or even libertarian and authoritarian.
I was wondering if conservatives are just liberals from past generations
holding onto whatever ideals were liberal at the time
Strictly speaking, it would make more sense to place the authoritarians on the right wing (with the monarchs of olden days and centralization of power) and us on the left, which would also align the term with liberal, in the way it was used in Britain and in its original meaning.
they didn't get on the 72 genders hype train and got ditched ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Strictly speaking, we are the liberals, we are on the left - as are libertarians - and Antifa are on the right.
the 72 genders hype train was where I jumped ship
antifa more like fa
I think, one of the first steps of bringing sanity back to politics would be to stop misusing these terms, because they let people claim ownership of bodies of thought that they have no claim to.
there's no talking to these people
labels are counterproductive as fuck
No, they are not.
if you mention anything that goes against their world view they bring out the bullhorns and go full NPC attack mode
Misused labels are counterproductive.
Shorthands and categories are one of the most fundamental ways to communicate.
they misuse all labels
hell they don't even know what man and woman is anymore
And the better we communicate, the better we can solve an issue.
I think that the precision of a solution is predicated on the precision to which the problem has been articulated.
if you guys didn't get it the number 5 is the numerical value for the roman numeral V.
true, but the magic of labels is to be reductive by nature
maybe we need better labels ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You probably have a good basis to criticize categories. If they are overextended, they cease to be useful, just as analogies taken too far lose their use.
Part of the problem, I think (could be wrong) is that gov't can't look at individuals...they have to look at groups and make policy based on that - yes, there ARE exceptions, but the policy should be for the majority.
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST USE LABELS PEOPLE WANT LIKE A DECENT HUMAN FUCKING BEING YOU COMPLETE PILE OF DOG SHIT" <:NPC:500042527231967262>
