| Topic | "I'm not a liberal I'm a leftist" |
| Dark_Arbron 10/26/23 11:29:09 PM #5: | Do academics even use those terms in serious discussion? Or do they actually address issues directly and individually instead of relying on sweeping labels?
Ill use myself as an example. I support civilian gun rights in a limited capacity with background checks and mandatory training. I support abortion and maternal care. I support same-sex marriage. I support universal healthcare. I support holding police, corporations and the rich accountable. But at the same time, I believe duty of care can be taken too far (e.g if you ignore a Caution Wet Floor sign and slip over, those consequences should be on you, not the premises). I support prison reform and a focus on mental health and rehabilitation for offenders who genuinely want it. I supported Australias the Voice campaign. I am disillusioned with democracy but begrudgingly accept its still the least worst we have. Am I a leftist? A liberal? Does my opinion on guns and self defence in general pull me a little toward the centre? Call me what you will. I dont need a label to explain myself. --- "The US is not a single country.
