argument about what?
Left, Right, Liberal, etc

I personally don’t get so hung up on the definitions. The parties are too complex for a single term. Sort of like asking “what is the one thing driving that behavior?” And the answer is “no”

I'm actually not interested in a definitional argument, but rather I am talking about a specific group of people (american democrats and adjacent) and their relative place on the political spectrum (left to right).

There is a very pink elephant in most of these rooms whose name is "Liberal." Liberal says that it is "left." Conservative also says Liberal is left. Their agreement makes them very comfortable, tho they are wrong. Constantly framing the democrat as "left" has made it feel true, but it is only a feeling.

Search your heart, you know this to be true. Even Carter, the most libbiest of libs, and sanders, the most socialiest of democrats, both tacitly cosign for capitalism, which makes them fucking pigdogs.

I admit I am fairly dumb when it comes to economics. Not rich either, make about 60-65k a year, have a mortgage on my home I own, car loan, the whole 9 yards

But I personally don’t hate capitalism. I don’t see wealth as some zero sum game, don’t think every rich person got there by stealing the poor’s money, etc. I’m just willingly naive to the insidious evils I guess

That being said, anti-capitalism hate is pretty well-received here from what I’ve seen. Usually not by people who are well-off financially, but that’s just from my observation, not making judgement statement

Sure, it works to give some people a lifestyle that allows them to ignore the pain of lots of others.

But what happens if The Others come for your lifestyle? and/or your meat?

And by the way I like how the anti-democracy "we are doomed" people are either silent, or suddenly quite broad-minded in their thinking.


Shitposting just is dead. Soon enough, it will be so easy to flood or churn in bot posts that forumquest may be about to die.



That is correct Aussenseiter.


No exceptions.

You're doing a lot better than any of us would under a command or planned economy.

Goddamn commie fascists in elftown.

Like Shane says, there is a funniest instance of everything: https://youtu.be/zKUpf1Vx0vs?t=1698, but that doesn't make a school shooting funny.
Awesome stand up bit

Trexeller, your impotent attempt to deflect from your inability to speak for yourself, while pretty, and likely the best spam I've ever seen, is still just useless spam
sometimes words are insufficient

Shane is the libkiller you do not deserve. Which is hilarious, because he is clearly not a rightist. I think he is just funny. A rarity.

I feel like you find words insufficient a lot.

Are you sure it is the words that are insufficient, or could it possibly be that you're not great at using them?
