You constantly troll with these claims despite the fact that I've been a constant critic of the death penalty, an advocate for criminal justice reform, a proponent of education reform, an enemy of the surveillance state (which made your claim or belief that I worked for the NSA even weirder), etc. In fact, once you exclude bullshit SJW topics and entitlement spending (which tie into my libertarian leanings, which you always overlook when citing my compass results), I've probably advocated more overt-left causes than overt-right causes. Unlike the board's far-left and far-right extremists, I tend to be pragmatic on issues. Me asking you a genuine question is far from trolling. You repeatedly asking this question with the implication that I'm not is, though. streamofthesky posted... Criminal justice reform: don't recall anything from you on that other than our shared view that white women get lighter sentences than others Given how many times you've criticized me for suggesting things like shorter sentences, I find this claim surprising. streamofthesky posted... Surveillance state: honestly being against it is more of a right-wing anti-government position than left-wing today; the stereotypical liberal who likes "Big Government" and wants it to solve problems should be ok w/ surveillance programs Such as those darn conservative organizations like the ACLU, right? You're probably one of the few liberals who seems to both support the surveillance state and believe that there's a good deal of support for it -- granted, you get people paying lip service because they support the Democrats complicit in these policies (coincidentally, it's yet another reason why I don't like partisan politics) --but that's less a matter of your liberal leanings and more your statist leanings. Statism isn't inherently a leftist position any more than libertarian is inherently a conservative one. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:906731182] in If you had...
