I actually kind of agree with this. I never call democrats liberal, nothing can be more iliberal than a socialist.
Rush Limbaugh freely and often uses it as a label to describe his side, btw.
Liberal: let people do their shit and crush the people that want to prevent people from doing their shit.
The whip and carrot approach to China and North Korea is precicely this. Kissinger’s legacy is to work with the bastards, while making it clear what they will not get away with.
It also exists within a contradiction, that government, more, that superpowers are required to fight for it. So we run into weird glitches like should abortion be legal.
Thankfully, the liberal right wing is all about working with reality, with what’s there. They can meet abortionists half-way: maybe the day after pill, or some weeks in, obviously some clear exceptions, always in the hands of actual capable people. They don’t like abortion. But they’ll meet you half way.
Just don’t ask people that value human life to be ok with wholesale slaughter of human life. Anyway, like I said, it’s a weird glitch. But it is what it is. If you work with people and give a little and take a little, we can all get along and get on with our business.
Well Pedro,
A democracy is where everyone votes on everything and the majority wins. There are no presidents, for example, in a democracy.
A republic is where representatives are chosen by the public to make all the “democratic” decisions.
That’s really the only definition of republican and democrat. The rest is propaganda.
Conservatives, well, conserve. They conserve traditional values like stoning people and raping people, forced marriages, mafias… just all the old shit, they conserve “traditional values”
Liberals are the permissive party, which doesn’t conserve the traditional values of stoning and raping people. In order to grant freedom, you must allow freedom, of which stoning and raping are not.
Also, liberalism means nothing if it’s species suicide, like destroying the environment, no environment, no liberals! (Duh). So liberals unlike conservatives, are interested in things like air quality, food quality and environmental quality, so that their virus keeps reproducing.
Now, those are the non propoganda definitions.
The best option is a liberal democracy. All progress that’s ever come to this world in terms of quality of life have been through liberal democracy. All of them!
The globe, including the US is at best a conservative republic.
Conservative republics intentionally don’t educate people well, so as to maintain the class that is the representative authority.
Without an educated populace, liberal democracy is impossible.
As far as abortion is concerned…
Everyday, I walk by a sign that says, “pray to end abortion”
And I think to myself, don’t pray, do, and then I think to myself, pray to end rape, torture and consent violation… I’m sure the abortion will take care of itself. Or just do.
People really think abortion is the biggest problem on earth?!?!?
You just made all that shit up.
Sure I did. Definitions Pedro. Try reading them sometime. At least there’s still not a conspiracy against those yet.
Dictionaries man.
Just shut up about it.
Or what, you’re going to silence me?
We all live forever dude.
Pick a side.
I missed this post for some reason.
I’m not a social engineer, you’re projecting your entire post on me.
I am a cosmic engineer however.
I already know all of you are fucked in the head.
You know why you’re pissed at my posts?
Because the moment you read them, you just became a responsible person, and DAMN you hate that!!
