Current Events > What Political Side Am I On?

(+) Yeah! (+)

So, I don't really follow american politics as I am not American, but it is interesting seeing so much debate. I don't really follow the difference between right, left, and all that. So, I'm going to provide some facts about me in hopes you can tell me which group I fall info.

I'm a lesbian.

Have a lot of weird fetish stuff that I am super open with including feederism, being dominated and having a Master who can command me.

I am Married.

I support Trans rights, but not the fact that people would be forced to like someone because they are trans.
I do not agree with censorship of media.
I am not offended by women being sexy in media, and in fact enjoy it.

I also do not believe that all women in media have to be sexy, but am not upset if it turns out they all are in any given media I am enjoying.

I support violence in video games and other media and do not believe it contributes to real life violence.
I support cultural freedom, as well as religion, despite not being religious.

I also think it is ok that non essential services, do not have to serve people for religious rights and don't think that they have to make changes for everyone to be included.

I also do not feel that every race and preference need to be in all media, but believe that it should be in some when the setting would call for it.

it sounds like you're a liberal, but a liberal that needs to be put in line

expect other liberals to shame you until you correct your beliefs

I find it incredibly interesting and odd that you think your fetish has some sort of role in your political leanings...

You are defiantly on the Left. Just not Far left.

I pretty much agree with everything you wrote.

Socially you sound liberal, but thats just a small piece to the whole side tho.

Republicans would have you believe its the main thing

Sounds like youre a liberal... little to argue with for you.

Seems like a do what you want as long as its not infringing upon anothers rights to do as they like... which, is the left these days, despite the amplification (from the right) of singular examples used as flimsy proof of post modern neo.... effectively... cultural Marxism.

A reasonable leftist, which there needs to be more of.

That is to say, a leftist without the ess jay double you-isms.

I'm honestly surprised with all I have posted that you are the first to even actually react to it.

Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.77

I always identified as Centrist. I agree with TC's points, too.

TC what is your stance on private gun ownership?

I'm Canadian, so my views are for sure impacted by my upbringing and general social attitude. That being said I grew up with a family that enjoyed hunting and had multiple rifles around at all times.

I don't believe gun ownership is wrong, and that people should be allowed to, but I do believe there should be a little more in line of safety checks to obtain them.

Yeah you definitely aren't left, at least not according to CE. If you aren't in favor of confiscation of all firearms, then you must be a far right Trumper.

What? The left absolutely does not subscribe to that philosophy. They are constantly infringing on other people's rights.

I disagree, but the concept of liberty itself is impossible to reach a space where no infringements occur.

If youre free to do, and free to have done to, there are paradoxes that come into play, as if hes free to do that, and that does things negatively to you (think poisoning water or something like that), an infringement to liberty is inevitable.

That said, I dont think the left is infringing upon peoples rights at all.

Most people on the left support the 2nd amendment. Most people also like having some arms heavily regulated (bombs, grenades, rocket launchers, surface to air missiles etc) and the real debate is where that line should be drawn... very few people are advocating abolishing the 2nd amendment, to the point to where the worry is inaccurate.

In what ways do you see the left infringing upon peoples rights?

Legitimately asking, any perceived snark is unintended.

Which rights in particular do you mean? And how is the left infringing them?

Thats how many on the left feel as well, but as you can see the right likes to spout that they only want repeal of the right to own guns...

People here constantly say that they do. Everytime there's a shooting of some sort there's cries of "Repeal the 2nd" without fail all over CE.

Its smart to not allow online personas to be how you formulate what the left or the right really is.

People say things they wouldnt online, context is lost, inflections are lost, and really? Crazy gets amplified...

Real life is a better source than online.

Online is a caricature, and you will find what you want to find here... for better or worse, it can be verified online, even if demonstrably false, you can find the confirmations you seek.

Anyhow, many people on the right (and the left) have lost sight of what happens in anonymous impersonal interactions online.

But the left is not summarized by peoples monikers on a game forum. Neither is the right.

And if youre making your assessments of the other from 99% online commentary? Or even 60%... youve probably tainted your impressions with fiction honestly.

The left isnt after your right to own guns.

Thats fear mongering propaganda.

Im considered very left.

I dont personally want to ban weaponry.

I do think that bumping certain weapons and weapon modifications up into the class 3 NFA is a good idea, and weapons and modifications designed for tactical assault are prime contenders... theyd still be legal, youd just have to get the proper certifications... background checks etc...

Regulations and laws are effectively the same thing.

While I see the meets for what youre saying, I dont think a brothel should be placed next to a high school personally.

Its all about lines.

Taxes dont bother me, but some of the idiotic red tape bureaucracy does.

Ive viewed randian libertarianism to be kind of utopian thinking that leads towards dystopian results, and the idea that violent revolution is an acceptable form of market correction is a terrible idea, but also, kind of what happens without regulations.

Dont get me wrong though, just like many if not most leftists, Im not for all regulations.

The cigarette thing is silly, I am a smoker, but whatever its not the end of the world for me and I chalk that one up to I dont mind going outside.

Regulations though, serve some purposes... say in terms of waste management, Mercury output, lead, arsenic etc...

Lots of regulations keep it so water is safe to drink. Loss of some regulations would change that, there is historical precedence for why some pollution regulations in particular are in place and they involve genetic defects cancer, death, and recurring effects that have permanently altered the infringeds gene pool... literally passed onto their kids and their kids kids...

Some regulations make sense. Including financial regulations.

Some are silly, like the cigarette thing.

Anyhow, youd be surprised it seems by the varied positions the left has on regulations... the right likes to talk a big game there, but its not like theyre against them... they tend to cherry pick ones that reduce profits at ththe expense of worker and citizen safety. Those examples being typically, where the left places a great deal of their efforts in protecting.

I dont feel stifled by society much at all... and am trying to think about things I cant do in society... and its pretty small...

I think (I dont smoke weed) I should be able to buy weed... but see oxycotin as in need of regulating, I dont need or want a prostitute, but think it should be legal, just well regulated... as that type of regulation sheds light onto a scenario as would reduce human trafficking and abuses... as demand would sink...

Anyhow, everyone is syncretic, a bit right, a bit left, a bit fringe and somewhere in their viewpoints they are flat out wrong... no one is immune to being wrong, myself included.

Ignorance is a blessing when viewed as a point of learning. Its a curse when youre too rigid to see it as ignorance, and choose it, despite contrary proof... Rothbard would be ignorant imho, same with Ayn Rand... the modern right wing liberterian movement in general feels that way to me... lots of talk, sounds good til you think about unintended consequences...

Which shows how little CE knows of the left. Pro gun leftists are not really that uncommon.

Yes there are some on the left who want that but many of us don't. I am a proud liberal gun owner
