Balor, I used to be as liberal as you. But the left has gone and made me completely jaded and angry. First, they pushed me from the left to the center. Now I'm leaning more right. I honestly weap for the levels of degeneracy coming in the next generations.


How can you take the republicans seriously? They are a bunch of bible thumpers trying to trick the lower classes into thinking that they can bring back jobs that have been replaced by robots, while lining their own pockets.

I used to be very far left. SJWs and Third Wave Feminists have moved that bar so far that I'm pretty moderate now.

The current "religious liberty" debate in some states now is fasinating because it's two core American values, the right to exercise ones religious beliefs freely and the right to not be discriminated against, in direct opposition to one another. Both sides are right, the best kind of argument.

You can be conservative AND liberal and still not be a Republican or Democrat.

Most people I know are moderates now because both sides have drifted toward extremes.

famously inferred that Obama was conservative (you know, despite trying to nationalize healthcare and implementing a new nationalized educational system


He also did not prosecute wall street individuals who caused the economic collapse choosing to bail them out instead, he expanded the drone program despite the fact that it kills the wrong target 90% of the time, he promised to get us out of war with the middle east, but we are still bombing 7 different countries with boots on the ground in most if not all of them, we are still supplying Saudi Arabia with weapons even though those weapons tend to find themselves in terrorists hands, he expanded the domestic spying programs, refused to prosecute those involved in the illegal torture program, refused to prosecute those committing war crimes in the middle east, but did prosecute the supposed to be federallly protected whistle blowers.

Even the conservatives like single payer health care in other nations, so yes, compared to other parts of the world Obama was pretty conservative. the conservatives in our country though are depicted as bible thumping warmongers so anyone who can avoid that image can put themselves on the left and call themselves moderate or leftist.

If you are anything short of "open borders for all, free college/housing/food/healthcare for all!" most liberals would call you an evil bigoted racist.

I'm pretty liberal but open borders is stupid, though I do support easier immigration. I also support a national language. Immigrants should be able to keep their culture, but if they are coming here they should also be interacting with our culture. I'm a little tired of dealing with immigrants who have been here for years without even attempting to learn english. I just view it as a rudeness thing.

Free college/housing/health care just make financial sense to me.
college- more people getting trained for higher waged jobs have more money to spend and more scientists and engineers help advance our technology.
housing- taking homeless people off the street saves tax payer money in the long run as the homeless who get them tend to be sick less, more likely to recover from drug addiction, and more likely to get a job
health- Public insurance companies before obama care spent less than 50 cents on the dollar on healthcare and the rest on salaries and expansion. medicare spends like 90 cents on the dollar for healthcare and the rest on upkeep. Countries with centralized health care also have the ability to negotiate with drug manufacturers for cheaper drugs, so overall the public is spending a lot less on healthcare.

Food- I've worked in retail, I have seen the abuse of food stamps, but I also don't think a nation can just let its people go hungry either.

I think the board has become more right wing because much of the userbase is the same over the years, so as you grow and get a job and earn money and become independent, you aren't as reliant on hand-outs.


You'd think that, but Jen's been working a real job for years and Erik is... well, he's employed and independent anyway, yet both were hardcore Bernie Sanders supporters.

Don't give a serious response to a really shitty troll account. Balor is a gimmick I might have used myself when I was 8 years old and, honestly, his spelling and grammar is worse than that of my 8 y/o self.


lol whats your problem, dude? You have issues.


My problem is your gimmick is lazy and tired, so why don't you give it a rest?


The part where you realize that Zeus doesn't understand that Balor is just that gay and this isn't a gimmick.

I dont see him killing anything. He's just being mean to Balor because what Balor very flamboyant and has no shame about it? His topic doesn't ask an erroneous question because the amount of conservative posts on this board has increased.

Most of it stems from Trump's election. Nobody's really changed, it's just that people that didn't feel comfortable voicing their views before are having them validated by a prominent public figure, and further validated by the fact that enough people agreed with him to vote him into office. That amounts to a pretty considerable confidence boost.


Thats unfortunate. It feels like a step backwards socially.


It is and it isn't. It is actually good for everyone to get a chance like that to express their views, because otherwise they fester in secrecy until the opportunity arises to act on them. It's easy to forget that, say, there are still people who seriously think interracial marriage should be made illegal again, and if you pretend that opinion doesn't exist and shut down any attempt at discussing it, those holding it will be drawn to fringe extremist groups where they can feel validated. This way, the more harmful views are brought out into the open, allowing them to be identified and forcing proper discussion of them (even if they don't actually have any value, those holding them believe that they do, and that's a problem that can't be solved without engaging them).

A lot of these views are still very harmful, and given the power currently wielded by the Republican party it's going to be necessary to fight tooth and nail to keep them from causing harm, but this is still necessary to moderate the citizenry's views. That goes both ways, too. When nobody feels comfortable expressing one side, the other side feels reinforced by the illusion that there's no opposition. Echo chambers don't benefit anyone either.


I agree Adjl. While I enjoy all my LGBT allies I do feel trying to silence the opposition is not the best way to go about it. People have been a little too aggressive about shutting down these people without actually trying to encourage an open mind. everyone erroneously thought racism and homophobia was a thing of the past. Then BAM we got smacked in the face by our complacency. Also, everyone is entitled to their own shitty opinions so let them speak.

Nah, republicans hate atheists, LGBT people, racial minorities, sick people, and poor people.
Though I guess your post is still correct, because those people usually dont vote for them (with the exception of naive poor people).

They literally want to strip you of basic civil rights. That is the definition of oppression.
That is like saying you hate how people use the word "racist" to describe the KKK.


I understand what IAmNowGone is saying, unless you can provide him and other people specific examples how THEIR life has gotten worse from the Republican party you won't begin to change their mind. I'm not saying Trump was the right choice, the reason I dislike him is because he is inept for the job at hand. You wouldn't want a McDonalds cashier all of a sudden to run all of McDonalds, it wouldn't make sense as they wouldn't have all of the skills.

There is a reason why Brexit happened, Trump was voted in, and why Le Pene will be too. Eventually the shaming and name calling will fall on deaf ears, people want to know specifically how their life will get better and could care less about other groups. It's incredibly sad because we should care about our fellow neighbor, but majority of people dont. Most people just want to make sure their bills can be paid, not if Gays can get married.

Most of which aren't inherently conservative views, they're authoritarian views which can belong to either party.

Single-payer is an inherently socialist idea which makes it liberal no matter where you are. More importantly, just because a conservative is okay on an issue doesn't make it a conservative issue *especially* when the other side is promoting it.

I'm not "being mean" to anybody. He posted a troll topic and I called it what it was. I do the same to countless others on the board. I accused Balor of being a fraud because he's presenting himself in the same way as other frauds. Unless you believe that KingMichael -- whose posting style is near identical to Balor's -- was also on the level. And, while we're at it, I'm sure you also still believe that KBE's alts weren't KBE.

chaosbowser posted...

Except for the fact it hasn't. If anything, the number of liberal posts have INCREASED thanks to Erik's multiple anti-Trump topics most days. The proportion of liberal to conservative is greatly skewed in the liberals' favor, with most of the conservative faces being gone at this point so the remaining people look more conservative by comparison.

And the number of conservative topics and posts was far greater during the election season where we actually had a few people promoting Ted Cruz, the furthest right candidate running. afaik, most of those people aren't even with the board any more. Even GrimCyclone vanished.

If you've been to college, you've seen SJWs. And most people on this board have graduated college, as we learned from the last poll about it. And if you think that a lot of this is exaggerated then you've never been to college.

You need to look past the person posting the fact and look at the fact itself. If you are gay you should see that voting Republican isn't going you be the best way to get gay marriage legal in all 50 states. At the same time people should remember that Trump had a LGBT flag at one of his rallys and isn't against Gay marriage. His Vice president however thinks it is disgusting and should be against the law, as does the majority of the party.

What I'm saying is people need to realize that over 62 million people voted for Trump and not all of those 62 million people are sexist, hate gay people, or are Nazis. But it still amazes me that after this election the people on the left have stayed to their Colbert, and CNN, and WaPos. And the right has stayed with Fox and Friends, and Breitbart. No one is willing to have a discussion because it results in name calling, and "I'm right you're wrong" type of reasoning.

I still believe in my lifetime we will see a 3rd party president if things continue the way they do. I believe in my heart that the majority of Americans are tired of both Democrats and Republicans.

Should I post more?


You would have to ask him. I already know what the Republican party is like.


@RCtheWSBC seems to be right, he is just conforming to his fiance's views and is unable to come up with any valid rationale.

Sad. I <3 my man but not foldin on my beliefs.


Oh, are you his fiance?

Not yet. He's hinted tho.

I just don't like how parties are defined by the extreme side.


It has gotten much worse over the last few years. People don't actually discuss or debate things. Political discourse is all hyperbole. Conservatives think all liberals are sjws that want a handout and a safe space, and liberals think all conservatives are angry hillbillies that want to kick minorities out of the country and stop gay people from getting married.

Meanwhile most people are somewhere in the middle wondering why nothing ever gets done.

Yep yep yep, hyper partisanship is a cancer in the face of a two-party political system that does not adequately invest or address the socioeconomic problems of the majority of its populace

I'm glad I get to read plenty of data and reports illustrating the ineffectiveness of our representation to meet our needs, but it's not going to change if people continue to become so damn siloed over the pettiest shit. Missing the forest between the trees.

I'm just dropping in to say that moderates are total losers. Pick a side, you dummies! You're either on my side or a literal nazi and being in the middle is just as bad as kicking puppies off a building. literally.

Schools should be required to teach critical thinking classes. Most people are suckers.

I was required to take a financial management class in high school, but it was a joke. It was crap like "how to write checks".
I learned way more from my high school economics class.

Yeah I took AP macroeconomics my senior year which ultimately led to my getting a bachelor's in it. Economics was a subject I felt I had to learn, but sociology was the degree I wanted to learn. And now I utilize both!
