Reality leans left IMO


Eh, I tend to think a solid reality is more moderate. It's never good to have extremes to either side.

As an ideal, it's great. It's not always practical. Libertarianism is more of a religion.

I can agree with that. I've begun to see social atomization as unsustainable. If for no other reason than the fact that an atomized culture cannot defend itself from a united one. I'm gradually being coaxed into joining the culture war. Its rather a cozy place. You should join up.

I'm occupying a strange space where I've given up Libertarian thought because I see it as naive. I'm anti-feminist, but pro-gay, traditionalist on many matters, fiscal conservative, social right-leaning moderate. I used to be a total leftist a few years back.

I'm probably a couple of years removed from being WN/Pro-fascist.


Sounds like you're just into labels in general.

Eh. Labels are useful. I find it helps to just give people the cover, because lets be honest, nobody is going to bother to read the book.

Vox has some updates. It hasn't been confirmed yet but they believe the shooter is a 28 year old named Ishmael/Ishmail Brinsley. And according to the New York Post, these were his Instagram posts:

I hate it for any family of a murder victim. Whether those murdered wore a uniform or not does not matter.

If only we could get same kind of uproar for black on black crime. A white cop kills a suspected thug and you get a huge uproar from the black community and some of the white communities and the real problems that plague those communities goes unnoticed.

Just look at what happens with rappers like this Bobby Shmurda dude who's been charged with murder, drug dealing and all sorts of trash. His fans who are predominately black clamor for his release, I can't think of a similar example in the white community.

You can find many instances of this. Black people suppress their own because if you become a snitch you just became worse than a murderer in certain communities. . If you go to the police your a snitch. If you fear for your life within the drug riddled crime areas there is literally nothing you can do. You either become a rat, end up dead, or you stand by in silence while your community eats itself and you watch all the people you know around you suffering the same fears. I can't imagine accepting this horseshite within my community. Obviously this isn't all communities .....but the things that go on in places like Baltimore and Memphis....etc. Baffles my mind

Then you have the enabling politicians that come out and attack cops for defending their lives. I can't figure out if America just hates itself and wants to cannibalize itself or if the world is really fricked in the mind.

America is too diverse in too many ways to truly have any unity. Experiment>>>failed.

This is the most evenhanded board I've ever posted on. Not saying it's a 50/50 split, but both voices are heard.

You're totally right. They just find a black guy on the streets and think "let's kill this guy, just for the hell of it."

I'm pro liberty...pro drugs and gay marriage big anti abortion because it's based on the lie of a woman's choice when in reality it was set up as population control of minorities and I believe the child's right to live trumps the mothers right to avoid consequences of poor decisions.

I'm hardcore fiscally conservative.... Economics was part of my major and Keynesian economics don't work and never will, and neither will socialism. They are failed concepts based in good intentions

I believe in individualism and a person left alone by govt will be able to make choices for themselves and better themselves way far and above anything government can provide for them

Just saw this. I'm fricking furious. It's about time to start cracking down on these protesters.


What kind of fricking coward does this? I hope he burns in hell for all of eternity on a spit with salt in his wounds.
