Topic	There's a conspiracy theory that the new Velma show was made by a conservative
the_pika 01/22/23 2:54:04 PM #39:	ellis123 posted... Classical liberalism refers to people that believe that capitalism is the best method of government. In modern terms this is basically just viewed through the lens of the Libertarian party as the traditional way to view liberalism versus conservatism was that liberals recognized that unchecked capitalism would just end up in some level of totalitarianism and thus would end up bunk. For instance, a liberal would say that Libertarians just want to be ruled by some sort of mafia-like entity as they have no actual structure beyond "government bad" and as long as the entity ruling over them isn't literally calling itself "the government" they are 100% on board with extreme authoritarianism. Inverse to this a person calling themselves a classical liberal nowadays would decry such structure as authoritarianism as the entire point is to view everything through the "marketplace of ideas" and having a government would just take away from a person's wallet being the sole defining characteristic of what is good and evil. American liberalism, on the other hand, isn't so much a political philosophy or ideology so much as it's just every person who thinks that domestic terrorism is bad. This is why you can have the major "liberal" party be mid/far-right, the average voter be centrist, and the boogieman of their opponents being leftist (of any depth) all at the same time. @ellis123 is there a name for someone like this? : thinks capitalism is the way to go but capitalism means real capitalism, we need small and medium size businesses too, not just a bunch of mega corporations running our lives racism is bad, homophobia is bad. But we also cant have drag queens giving boob snakes and lap dances to kids science is real and it matters government and religion should be separate louder for the MAGAs in the back - racism is bad we do need a social safety net for our population decent wages should be a thing we should try to manufacture more things here in the US <cite>the_pika posted [p:971017351] in There's a ...
