It's so funny that people call me fascist when they don't believe in freedom of speech themselves.

@SatanBurger Sounds like me. It was probably on my post about the future of europe and demographics, and about how it'd be karma for all the radical lefties to be subjugated under the Jihad they allowed to happen. I don't want die in holy war, but I can't sit around and feel bad for SOME people who actively wanted to destroy every positive virtue of the west and now suffer from the destruction they brought on. Most lefites are normal everyday well meaning people (not any different than conservatives in that respect), but the pathologically ethno-massochistic ones who just want everything family oriented to die are often hard to feel sorry for. Nonetheless, if they were about to get beheaded by some random jihadist, i'd save them, even tho i'd call myself a dipshit for doing so.

@BRUUH I consider myself to be on the libertarian left. Not quite anarchist, but in that direction. I believe people should have a lot of autonomy and choice. I believe hierarchies should be minimal and simplified where they exist.

@ViciDraco But why do you seem like such a nice guy when you believe everything I don't?

I think hierarchies are not inherently good or bad... just depends what they are. I reject the doctrines of radical equality as they have arisen since the enlightenment era. I am much more of an elitist, in that I think we actually SHOULD be governed by elites, but that they should be competent and able to prove moral character. Both plato and Confuscious essentially thought that there should be an oligarchy, but that it shouldn't be plutocrats, but rather sages. I think using ancient language like they do makes my thesis sound mystical, but it literally is simply the believe that descisions on matters should be made by the people who are the most wise on those subjects, and the most incentivized to do what brings about the most good.

I do think some people really get a kick out of stepping on the weak and vulnerable, and I have nothing but contempt for those people. At the same time, "equality" is a romantic idea that just sounds good. I want leaders who are strong and kind, but we have no litmus test for this, just majority rule.

@BRUUH I probably come across as a nice guy because I try to argue ideas and not people. I want people to be free to pursue their happiness and not have other people tell them what will make them happy. Even if that freedom means they might make mistakes. As for our discussions, I understand some of the core goals of what you are trying to accomplish in the positions you take. I frequently find your methods of reaching such goals to be disagreeable. But I do not read malice into your arguments. So I have no reason to be cruel in the disagreement.

@Bumbles I thought it must be a marriage between two parrots. Lol :)
