So "we should allow even the ones we hate the most for their views freedom of speech" is no longer--
Leftist now be like,"Bash the Fash reeeeeee!"
Why have the original liberal beliefs been replaced with this bullshit.
Wait, shit.
They had blocked me once before for daring to disagree with them. I'm surprised they unblocked me at all.
Went to the political forums a few days ago, 2 Commies called me a conservative & blocked me when I tell them welfare & increasing minimum wage doesn't work. The lure of free stuff & more money is a sweet promise to the illiterate. Ever since I was a kid, all of my American & European friends keep warning me that Americans are dumb, I never believed them until this political correct madness happened. I still have some people on this site asked me not to talk to Americans like they have no brains, I told them I would but it doesn't work. I thanked them for asking me, because now I know they can understand the subject matter. But now we're living in a post metoo world, emotion reigned the discourse, logic is considered "conservative" "monstrous" and "heartless". Well, how else am I supposed to talk to these people than to treat them like young children?
Only works when the amount of people paying in is at the same rate of people taking them.
Instead of swinging left to right and right to left and gradually slowing down until it stops (AKA, find a reasonable middle ground) it swings more and more violently until it goes full circle.
In other words - extreme views from one side breed even more extreme ones on the other and vice versa.
Moderate views are not fashionable and no matter how reasonable you are, you will simply make enemies on all sides - you will simply be accused of inaction and dealing with the devil, making compromises in places where non can be had or whatever other excuse both sides find to hate you.
Kind of like the horseshoe theory - the more extreme the views on both political sides become, they more the resemble each other - only the reasoning behind different stuff will differ.
Oh, and let's not kid ourselves - neither right nor left likes freedom of speech, they actually hate it with passion. Why? Because extreme positions are always allergic to being opposed.
They will defend freedom of speech ONLY when it is their view which is opposed.
Are you saying Soviet Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, China, North Korea, East Germany and all other past and present communist states were/are anarchic?
You have a point. Democratic socialist countries like Norway and Sweden for examples are there. But we must also acknowledge their economic system, which is capitalism. They can co-exist with each other in a perfect harmony.
Oh right, I am a nazi again.
But anyway, that's okay. I think we both agree that mixed states like those can exist and become successful. Like I have said many times, I am a centrist. But sadly today's "liberals" call me nazi for wanting to have a free market economy without any state intervention.
