Why are most people on this forum politically left wing ?

I have noticed that most user appear to be ideologically on the left, is this " the cool thing to do " amongst youths nowadays or is it more of a " I follow the current thing " kind of mentality ?

so, is mixed economy the ultimate economy model in the world?

Yes. But hard to get the mix correct.

Well, I'm pretty conservative, and even I was shocked by the hatred yesterday toward our Trans community yesterday here on the boards so I'm going to say that the premise that most people here are left is false.

Until relative recently homophobia and transphobia was in decline and tolerance towards the LGBT community was growing.

Then something changed towards the end of 2019. An increasing amount of folk somehow found more time to become outspoken on social media than they had before. They began to demand more and demand it faster than society could give them enough of what they demanded. This affected all larger groups and subcultures of society. The smaller the subculture was the more they were impacted by the push back of the majority of society.

Regarding the LGBT community who kept adding more letters: Instead of slowing down on what they demanded of the rest of society and focus on all they had accomplished since the start of the gay rights movement of the late 1960s / early 1970s they doubled and tripled down on their demands. The pace of their increasing demands started affecting and impacting the lives of the straight community and families.

Is anyone surprised that the straight community and straight families started to push back against the LGBTQ+ community?

I know what that was that happened in late 2019 that gave us more time to become overly outspoken on social media but that is a topic for another thread because it will sidetrack this thread.

How is trans community connected to left or right ?

I am right wing and I could not care less about who is trans or who is not.

Because the LGBTQ+ community is starting to split up because the less left wing leaning members have taken notice of how damaging the extreme left wing and "loudest" part of their community has become with their increasing demands of straight society and straight families.

Is anyone surprised that the straight community and straight families started to push back against the LGBTQ++++++ community?

I know what that was that happened in late 2019 that gave us more time to become overly outspoken on social media but that is a topic for another thread because it will sidetrack this thread.

why are you adding six pluses
it's annoying

I just find it funny whenever people think that a capitalist system is defined by democracy. Countries like China are capitalist, but are still an oppressive regime. Because a country's economic system is NOT defined by its governing system. Hell, even Russia is technically capitalist, even though its President at this point is a dictator.

So it's pointless to talk about "left vs right" when discussing regular topics because unless you're a fascist, most people agree that everyone should have the right to their viewpoint, even if you disagree. Asking why people might have a certain viewpoint is perfectly valid, but that doesn't mean those people aren't valid for having them. As for socialism/mixed economy vs capitalism, everyone will have an idea of how to better run a country's economy. It has NOTHING to do with the right to have a differing opinion.

This forum definitely does NOT lean left, lol.

[godzilliac]

It's a simple matter of conformity and adjustment to the expectation of what will get them the most favorable responses and approval.

Monkey see, monkey do.

This is an excerpt from the Ted's manifesto. You can easy find it online if you wanr to read it.He explains it quite well:

"All of us in modern society are hemmed in by a dense network of rules and regulations. We are at the mercy of large organizations such as corporations, governments, labor unions, universities, churches, and political parties, and consequently we are powerless. As a result of the servitude, the powerlessness, and the other indignities that the System inflicts on us, there is widespread frustration, which leads to an impulse to rebel. And this is where the System plays its neatest trick: Through a brilliant sleight of hand, it turns rebellion to its own advantage.

Many people do not understand the roots of their own frustration, hence their rebellion is directionless. They know that they want to rebel, but they don't know what they want to rebel against. Luckily, the System is able to fill their need by providing them with a list of standard and stereotyped grievances in the name of which to rebel: racism, homophobia, women's issues, poverty, sweatshops…the whole laundry-bag of "activist" issues.

Huge numbers of would-be rebels take the bait. In fighting racism, sexism, etc., etc., they are only doing the System's work for it. In spite of this, they imagine that they are rebelling against the System."

I'm buying this.

Thread full of nothing but conservatives, wants to know why most of the forum are liberals.

Must be the new math.

That is Gestalt psychology. You have a want for more kindred minds like yourself. You find yourself frustrated in that aspiration. Therefore you underestimate the presence of your kindred souls.

It's just young kids and the adults that are left usually have or had a problem with drugs and alcohol so they are stuck in a perpetual state of adolescence

But its the 'right wingers' who have all the money and can afford the real harmful drugs :/
I am so confused now.

Wrong. They have access to all of the good drugs and treatment. The rest get dirty and cheap drugs, and no treatment.

[sleeps]

i heard that american leftists are still right wingers.

can't tell if it's because it's rare to find communists there

As wanton of just being accepted by this prestigous community of the forums as I wanted to be before the backlash against my poor hobbit self....

I disagree now.
Because I bet a poor person from Columbia will be getting more cocaine in their baggy than a rich person in London and the Colombian's fix has not been up a persons butt.
BUT treatment yes they do get access to the best of it the rich people that is.

Define "left wing". And then define "socialism" and "communism". Hint: it's NOT whatever the TV tells you. You think people come on here and make statements in relation to their political beliefs? Unless the topic is pertaining to politics, you don't know WHAT their political leanings are. For all you know, they're Anarchists or Satanists.

Maybe they're hardcore Libertarians or don't align with any political party and ideology and think that other politically minded people are silly. It's called "freedom of thought". Or in this case, freedom of speech. Even right wingers support that. Unless you're saying that they SHOULDN'T be allowed to think differently from you just because you don't agree.

And there it is. Right on cue, the demands for definitions. Here is your assignment, student.

"Do this for me. Then do this for me. DANCE FOR ME. So I can type some LOLs."

It should be a "law" at this point.

Masque's Law: "Whenever an internet comment mentions a left-wing political ideology, in under ten comment replies someone on the left-wing will demand definitions of terms BUT also proclaim first that no definition given will be accepted because everyone is stupid and they're the only super smart one."

Am I left or right?
because I used to ask people to define them.
