Froot75397y@Ashkin Good answer.
All things in moderation. I consider myself a liberal but I don't like left wing politics. I'm a right wing liberal. Basically my belief is that people should be allowed to do the fuck they want as long as that doesn't harm or deny others the right to do the same -
Root797677y@Froot That is very likely "libertarian"
It's also the 1960s definition of "liberal" (more or less)
Today's definition of "liberal" is the 1960s "psychotic" -
Root797677y@Froot Honestly, though, both the far-left and far-right are completely terrible. but the far-left is much further from 'center.'
Let's define a new unit, say PU for "political unit". If we say the far-right is 60pu away from center, the far-left is 120pu-180pu away.
(And both stink!) -
Froot75397y@Ashkin Could be that the name is libertarian.
But I strongly disagree with far left being way worse than far right. Both are fucking horrible but while far left is feminazies and professionally offended people the far right is actual fucking nazies and skinheads, people who carry assault rifles in public to intimidate others and chant blood and soil. Id say the far right are way worse. But it's a matter of perspective I guess. Not to offend you in any way but you seem more conservative, so from your view the far right is probably not as bad 🙂 -
Root797677y@Froot: The only "real nazis" I've seen were libtards masquerading as rightist white supremisists. (I have limited data, though, despite keeping a close eye on politics)
Regardless, this country is insane atm. -
Root797677y@Froot also, the far-right are religious wingnuts that only care about the bible, and want to run the country only by Christian values.
Naziism, etc. is a very leftist dogma, and isn't compatible with those values.
It doesn't make sense for the right to push Naziism. It's completely contrary to how they think and what they want. -
Froot75397y@Ashkin Liberals masquerading as white supremacists? Like David Duke who thanks Trump for his support or Justin Moore that cheers the act of domestic terrorism in Charlesville on?
No-one is masquerading here, these people are real and Trump is normalizing and giving them a platform. And that brings us back to alt-right, can you now see why it's so easy to draw a line between alt right, white supremacy and Nazism?
Sorry but the masquerade comment was full retard, never go full retard -
spooky16947yI posted a picture of people making fun of how stupid online political debate is and now yall are politically debating
What -
Root797677yI can't comprehend how the left believes, like truly and actually believes, that the right wants a Hitler-like dictator and wants to ban free speech, oppress minorities, are super racists, etc. When this is bloody exactly what they are doing themselves. BLM, ANTIFA, etc. violently oppose and physically attack anyone who disagrees with them, even marginally. Sticks, clubs, knives, Molotovs, bricks, etc. are all commonplace with these groups. Who the fuck does that?
The left screams "your free speech kills," "fucking white male," "cishet scum," "white people shouldn't breed," etc. How is this not racist and bigoted? All the crap they shout at others... it's like they look into a mirror when shouting their cliché long string of insults.
But that violence.
"Anti-fascist" Yet. They. Are. Being. Fascist.
The hypocrisy is insane.
And so very scary. -
Root797677y@Froot The crap in Charlottesville.
The leader of the white supremacists was a member of occupy wall street, was a democrat, and an Obama supporter. Yet he claimed he was a Republican? and if that doesn't sound fishy enough, his white supremacist group didn't exist before the election.
Furthermore, antifa was there in face masks, helmets, etc. with clubs and homemade flamethrowers. The infuriating part is the the news didn't show any of that, and cropped it out of some of the photos. They're still easy enough to find online.
Going full retard?
No, believing the news isn't biased is going full retard.
Do your own research, and try to cut through the bias. It's everywhere. -
Froot75397y@Ashkin Okay. So where should I get my news from then? What are the good sources? I'm going to go on a limb here and guess that you would recommend the likes of Breitbart, Alex Jones, Stefan Molyneux, Paul Joseph Watson and the like? Am I wrong?
-
Root797677y@Froot read everything, find the common ground, then look for people who actually witnessed the events and repeat. When you can't trust the media, you have to do your own investigative journalism.
Breitbart is so biased it's palpable.
They're almost as bad as CNN. Possibly just as bad. 😐
I'm a libertarian, remember? I'm in the center, and find both parties fucking nuts. -
Froot75397y@Ashkin Well that's good to hear. I was afraid you were deep in the alt right territory.
Sadly, eye witness accounts are out of the question. I don't have time to call up some guy on the other side of the globe sadly 😋
